  • Abstract:
    Since the late 19th century, the exploitation of oil, gas, timber, and mineral resources in Appalachia has been associated with the production of an extensive transportation system and with a concurrent decline in the environmental quality of aquatic systems. This project will establish the infrastructure for a web delivered, interactive mapping system developed from satellite imagery and integrated with Geographical Information Systems that will locate all endemic, threatened, or endangered species relative to transportation systems in WV. The project will incorporate a detailed case study along the proposed Corridor H of the Appalachian Highway System to establish the interactive mapping system criteria and processes, The case study will also address the authentication of a specific rare Appalachian fish as an endangered species or a rare hybrid developed as a result of previous transportation related environmental disturbances in this area.

    The Cheat minnow, Rhinichthys bowersi, is a rare fish that has been reported almost exclusively from streams in the Monongahela River system of West

    Virginia and Pennsylvania. The status of the Cheat minnow is currently controversial. There have been reports that the Cheat minnow has unique genetic characters, is reproductively isolated from other minnows, has a limited distribution, and should be considered a valid species.
