Abstract: Excerpts from the report: The Goose Lake Drainage Basin is located in Lake County, Oregon and Modoc County, California. The area of concern for this study is that portion of that lies within the State of Oregon. The study has a drainage area of 464,270 acres. Goose Lake is supplied by three headwater streams and many small streams; the major streams are Thomas Creek, Cottonwood Creek and Drews Creek. Major land uses in the Basin are forestland, 211,180 acres; range and pasture 166,550 acres; cropland, 44,390 acres; and other lands, 42,150 acres. The principal problems in the Goose Lake Drainage Basin discussed in this report are: winter and spring flooding, erosion and sedimentation, impaired drainage, water shortages, water use and conservation and water quality. These problems are extremely important to consider in connection with improved management opportunities for agriculture, range, and forestry. The overall objective of USDA participation in this study is to inventory the resource problems and needs of the Basin and identify potential watershed projects. Another objective of the study is to provide relevant inventory data to Lake County for use in the planning process and the State Water Resources Department for use in the State Water Resources Program.
