The topography of the watershed is gently rolling to flat. There are many shallow lakes, ponds, and <br />wetlands in the watershed owing in part to a surficial water table that is generally close to the ground <br />surface (see Section 0). The local topographic gradient slopes from the northwest and northeast portions <br />of the watershed towards the Rum River, and from the northeast to the southwest towards the Mississippi <br />River. High ground in the northwest and northeast portions of the watershed reach heights of <br />approximately 920 feet MSL. The minimum elevation of approximately 830 feet occurs the downstream <br />boundary with the Mississippi River. LiDAR elevation data collected in 2011 by the MDNR is presented in <br />Figure 2-2. <br />The LRRWMO includes portions of 13 MDNR level 8 watersheds. MDNR level 8 watersheds located within <br />the LRRWMO are shown in Figure 2-2 and summarized in Table 3-3. The Plan name refers to the name <br />assigned to each level 8 watershed for LRRWMO resource management purposes; the HUC12 name <br />assigned to each level 8 watershed is also noted. These watershed divides are generally consistent with <br />those used for water quality modeling document in the Rum River WRAPS study (see Section 2.7.4.1). <br />Table 3-3 MDNR Level 8 Watersheds within the LRRWMO <br />Mississippi Direct <br />0000l00000000000 0000 000000000000000000000 <br />000I0000000 <br />IIII d <br />5,437 <br />111 <br />2004100 <br />Itasca Lake <br />1,373 <br />2004101 <br />City of Anoka - <br />Mississippi River <br />Coon Rapids Dam <br />250 <br />2005600 <br />Coon Rapids Dam - <br />Mississippi River <br />Lower Coon Creek <br />183 <br />2005800 <br />Lower Coon Creek <br />Trott Brook <br />4,993 <br />2105200 <br />Trott Brook North <br />1,313 <br />2109400 <br />Trott Brook <br />Ford Brook <br />733 <br />2109300 <br />Ford Brook <br />City of St. Francis -Rum River <br />164 <br />2109500 <br />City of St. Francis -Rum <br />River <br />Lower Cedar Creek <br />547 <br />2109700 <br />Ward Lake -Lower Cedar Creek <br />3,739 <br />2109900 <br />Lower Cedar Creek <br />Rum River North <br />4,432 <br />2110000 <br />Rum River South <br />11,418 <br />2110100 <br />Sunfish Lake <br />1,677 <br />2110101 <br />Rum River <br />Source: MNDR level 8 watersheds (area reflects area within LRRWMO legal boundary) <br />2-5 <br />1111 <br />111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111 <br />00,0000000000000000000000,000000, <br />
