Summary:(USGS) 1:24,000 7 1/2' quadrangle topographic map elevation
accurately predict the effects of the major habitat types
caused by changes in lake levels. The methodology presented
control management of the lower Brazos River basin. These
data, for the relatively flat terrain making up most of the

effects of lake levels on the quantity of wildlife habitat
Engineers (COE) reservoir project are the result of flood
fluctuating lake shoreline, fluctuations of which are the
fluctuations periodically submerge wildlife habitat
fluctuations to changes in habitat, shoreline location, and
greatly assist proper management of habitat. This thesis has
