| Abstract | Long Description |
The Johnson Creek watershed covers an area of approximately 21 square miles in the north-central part of Whatcom County. The drainage area occupies about 40 percent of the total Sumas River drainage area. The Johnson Creek watershed is bounded to the north by the US-Canadian border and to the south by the mainstem of the Nooksack River (Figure 1). Johnson Creek originates from springs just north of the town of Everson and flows northeastward across the nearly flat Sumas Valley floodplain. Three principal tributaries, Squaw Creek, Pangborn Creek, and Sumas Creek, drain uplands along the western and northwestern edge of the basin and contribute year-round flow to Johnson Creek. During periods of high precipitation, additional flow enters Johnson Creek through a series of ditches that drain the floodplain of the basin. |
