the Soque River Sections & Tributaries

The Soque Watershed is much more than the mainstream Soque River. In fact, water quality in the mainstream is primarily a product of hundreds of small stream that make up distinct sub-basins defined by the tributaries below.

The Soque Watershed has 7 sub-basins described below from headwaters to mouth.

Beaverdam Creek
This tributary drains the lower Soque and is representative of a Piedmont drainage. Sand and silt are common throughout this sub-basin. The Creek forms the boundary between Clarkesville Elementary soccer fields and the Habersham Electric Membership Cooperative (HEMC) facility. Hwy. 17 to Cleveland crosses Beaverdam at this location.
