Use the topographic map of Slippery Rock (found on D2L) to answer parts A through E. A. Examine the slopes of the land on either side of the following streams: 1. Is the valley of Wolf Creek V-shaped or U-shaped (at the point where Route 108 crosses it)? 2. Is the valley of Long Run V-shaped or U-shaped (at the point where Route 108 crosses it)? 3. Is the valley of Hogue Run V-shaped or U-shaped (at the point where West Liberty Road crosses it)? 4. Is the valley of Slippery Rock Creek V-shaped or U-shaped (at the point where W Park Road crosses it)? B. Find the watershed divide between Wolf Creek and the upper portion of Slippery Rock Creek (above its confluence with Wolf Creek). It may help to open the map in a drawing program like MS Paint and draw a line on it. Which of the following hills make up part of this divide? 5. The big hill just north of campus 6. The hill just south of Rt 108 on the west side of town 7. The hill between E Water St and Kelly Blvd 8. The hill east of Thomwood Ln in Forestville 9. The hill south of Coal-Hill Ln near Redmond 10. The hill where Weathervane Dr is C. Which watershed (Wolf Creek or upper Slippery Rock Creek) are the following places in? 11. Stadium Dr YN Y N YN YN YN YN 12. Old Main (the little box with a flag near the SRU label) 13. Giant Eagle (at the corner of Kelly Blvd and Rt 173) 14. Slippery Rock Elementary School (the little box with a flag on Rt 258 just north of town) 15. North Country Canning Co. (at the corner of Arrowhead Dr. and Rt 108) 16. Slippery Rock High School (the little box with a flag on Rocket Dr) D. The red F on the map marks the location of the Slippery Rock fire department. Imagine that due to an accident, a large amount of fire retardant chemicals are spilled at the fire department. Fire retardants are made from per- and polyfluoralkyl substances, also known as PFAS, which can be harmful pollution. As rainwater washes the PFAS off of the fire department's property and down the nearest stream, the fire department decides to call anyone who might be affected. Which of the following addresses should be notified of the pollution? 17. 278 Stoughton Road, Slippery Rock 18. 325 Slippery Rock Road, Slippery Rock 19. 238 Miller Road, Slippery Rock 20. 130 Elliott Lane, Slippery Rock 21. 145 Harmony Road, Slippery Rock E. The SRU Alma Mater says "where the Slippery Rock Creek wanders..." What evidence do you see on the map that shows that Slippery Rock Creek has in fact wandered? F. Use the topographic map on the next page to answer the following questions: 23. On the map, label the parts of the river: meander, oxbow, point bar, neck, bluff line, floodplain (some of these may occur more than once) 24. Where would you find erosion, and where would you find deposition? Mark areas of erosion with triangles (AAA) and areas of deposition with stars (***). 25. Suppose the discharge increases enough that water spills out of the main channel (floods) and begins to flow in a downstream direction. a. Which areas will be flooded? Indicate on the map. b. In which area erosion will most likely form a new channel and why? Indicate on the map. c. Indicate on the map where a new oxbow lake will be located. 26. The state border doesn't follow the main channel of the river. What does this tell us about how the river has changed over time? Identify one location where the border doesn't match up with the main channel and explain what you think has caused the mismatch.
