Metadata: Identification_Information: Citation: Citation_Information: Originator: National Atlas of the United States Publication_Date: 200512 Title: Streams and Waterbodies of the United States Publication_Information: Publication_Place: Reston, VA Publisher: National Atlas of the United States Online_Linkage: Description: Abstract: This map layer shows areal and linear water features of the United States, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. The original file was produced by joining the individual State hydrography layers from the 1:2,000,000- scale Digital Line Graph (DLG) data produced by the USGS. This map layer was formerly distributed as Hydrography Features of the United States. This is a revised version of the January 2003 map layer. Purpose: These data are intended for geographic display and analysis at the national level, and for large regional areas. The data should be displayed and analyzed at scales appropriate for 1:2,000,000-scale data. No responsibility is assumed by the National Atlas of the United States in the use of these data.

were originally digitized by the National Mapping Division based on the sectional maps contained in 'The National Atlas of the United States of America' published by the USGS in 1970. The 1:2,000,000-scale Digital Line Graph (DLG) data were merged into a single national water features coverage. Where necessary to effect the merge, alignment changes were made. The names were taken from the USGS 1:100,000-scale maps. For Alaska, the names were taken from the 1:250,000-scale sheets. State lines across water bodies were removed from the national coverage. State attributes were assigned to the features.

Some name attributes were added or corrected. All occurrences of St. were changed to Saint. Extra spaces were removed from the attributes. Water features for Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands were added.

Source_Used_Citation_Abbreviation: ATLASHY9911 Process_Date: 200212 Source_Produced_Citation_Abbreviation: ATLASHY0301 Process_Step: Process_Description: Names were researched for approximately 1,200 linear streams, canals, aqueducts, and Intracoastal Waterway instances, in the conterminous United States and Hawaii, that did not have names in ATLASHY0301. Names were determined from the USGS 1:24,000-scale maps; the remaining features without names were not labeled on the 1:24,000-scale maps, or fall in Alaska, or represent dams that have not yet been fully researched. Features for which no name appears within the source data have a value of "NONE GIVEN" in the Name field. Features such as shorelines, apparent limits, and closure lines do not have names and have a value of "N/A" in the Name field. Several name corrections were made. Minor spatial edits required to accommodate name changes, such as connecting or splitting features, were made as necessary.
