LIBRARY: RIVERS & STREAMS (1:100k) LAYER NAME: STREAMS100 LOCATION: \STREAMS KIER ASSOCIATES NOTE ON DATA QUALITY: The hydrography map of Battle Creek needs substantial improvement. Stream segments in headwaters are incompletely mapped and center lines of streams are off, which makes automated calculation of any riparian attributes or associations imprecise. USGS 1:100000 METADATA BELOW*************************************************************** COVERAGE DESCRIPTION: The hydrography layer consists of flowing waters (rivers and streams), standing waters (lakes and ponds), and wetlands--both natural and manmade. Two separate feature types are represented: polygons (areas) and lines. Polygon features have attribute codes that identify water bodies such as lakes, wide river segments, or swamps. Line features have attribute codes that represent streams or shorelines. The hydrography layer was assembled from data originally published by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) in Digital Line Graph (DLG-3) format. DLG-3 data were generated by USGS from 1:100,000-scale maps by manual digitizing and raster scanning. The tiles are numbered from 1 to 33, northwest to southeast, and this numeric code is contained in the item HYSNUM. A separate item, HSCKEY, contains a number unique to each arc within a tile. HSCKEY and HYSNUM are combined to form a primary key item, TDCKEY, which uniquely identifies every hydrograhy arc record statewide. Hydrographic feature records in the arc attribute tables (AAT) may be related (linked or joined) with corresponding RF3 records in DS3 tables on the item TDCKEY, which is present in both tables. Users are cautioned to verify the integrity of AAT - DS3 relations, as instances of many DS3 records relating to one AAT record are known to occur. Reach File data, documentation, and technical support are provided through the USEPA Office of Water's STORET User Assistance Group at 800-424-9067. STORET is the USEPA's national water quality information system. VITAL STATISTICS: Datum: NAD 27 Projection: UTM zone 10 Units: Meters 1st Std. Parallel: 34 00 00 2nd Std.

The USGS DLG features of this layer are fairly complete. The density of line work representing drainage networks appears to vary arbitrarily from quad to quad, and there are discontinuities in lines depicting streams at the edges of 100k quads. The geographic feature accuracy is fair. Contiguous features are not always matched across map sheet boundaries. The attribute completeness and accuracy of MAJOR/MINOR code pairs is good. Users are cautioned to verify drainage network connectivity and water feature names before undertaking extensive processing using RF3 data. ----- SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION (courtesy of Calif. Department of Fish and Game) In 1993, US EPA changed the Reach File table DS2 to DS3 and changed the MILE and related items from numeric type to character type. No data content changes were made. ----- INDEX TO 1:100,000 DLG HYDROGRAPHY ARC/INFO coverage names are composed of the prefixes shown in the statewide grid below (some are abbreviations of the USGS 1:250,000-scale quad map series names), plus the suffix PRJ1STMS for the line and polygon data layers (for example, RDPRJ1STMS, for the Redding quad). The item HYSNUM in the ARC/INFO feature attribute tables contains the indicated numeric values to reference the tile within which a given feature falls.
