			<abstract>This file contains hydrologic unit boundaries and codes for
the conterminous United States along with Alaska, Hawaii,
Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. It was revised for
inclusion in the National Atlas of the United States of
America, and updated to match the streams file created by
the USGS National Mapping Division (NMD) for the National
Atlas of the United States of America.

For the most current data and information relating to 
hydrologic unit codes (HUCs) please see 
http://water.usgs.gov/GIS/huc.html. The Watershed 
Boundary Dataset (WBD) is the most current data
available for watershed delineation. See 
http://www.nrcs.usda.gov/wps/portal/nrcs/main/national/water/watersheds/dataset
			</abstract>
			<purpose>Due to its small scale (1:2,000,000), this file is intended
primarily for display and analysis of regional and national
data rather than for analysis of specific data.  The file
has been updated for inclusion in the National Atlas of the
United States of America and to match the base data created
for the National Atlas.
			</purpose>
			<supplinf>Any use of trade, product, or firm names is for descriptive
purposes only and does not imply endorsement by the U.S.
Government.

Although this Federal Geographic Data Committee-compliant
metadata file is intended to document the data set in
nonproprietary form, as well as in ARC/INFO format, this
metadata file may include some ARC/INFO-specific
terminology.

Hydrologic Unit Code (HUC) areas in this file do not
necessarily match those published in Water-Supply Paper
2294 (Seaber et al). The file has finer resolution than the
maps used to determine areas published in the Water-Supply
Paper.

The ARC/INFO version of this file contains two additional
annotation layers.  One layer is called anno.maplabel1, and
contains the first six digits for each accounting unit. The
labels for Accounting Regions 1 though 9 have a "0" in
front of the number. The second layer is called
anno.catnum, and contains the last two digits for each
cataloging unit. All numbers were checked manually against
a 1:2,000,000 plot of the data.

Also in the ARC/INFO version, imbedded in the INFO file is
the HUCS_2M.TRACE file, which points to the next downstream
cataloging unit for each basin.  If a basin flows into
another cataloging unit, that unit's code is given for the
HUC_TO item.  Not all basins flow into other basins; in
these cases, the following codes were used for HUC_TO:
-   HUC_TO     Meaning
-   0          Ocean
-   1          Flows across a national border
-   2          Closed drainage

A second imbedded file is HUCS_2M.AML_INDEX, which is a
listing containing an index of all user-defined items in
the .PAT and .AAT files.

Note. HUCS_2M.TRACE and HUCS_2M.AML_INDEX are accessed
through INFO by selecting for the file. These files have
not been updated for Version 2.0.  INDEX_HUC.AML, which
creates the index file, is also available through INFO.

			<attraccr>The arc attributes were manually checked by assigning
unique line weights and colors to the values, and then
plotting the data.  The plots were then compared to the
source.

The polygon attributes were checked by comparing a
1:2,000,000-scale plot to the source.

The attribute accuracy is estimated at 99%.

		<logic>Polygon and chain-node topology are present.  All polygons

				<horizpar>The accuracy of the original data set was checked by
comparing the digital files to several data sources.
First, both the line work and the polygon labels were
checked against the source compilation.  No digitization
errors were found during this phase.

Next, the hydrologic unit boundaries were compared to the
1970 1:2,000,000-scale DLG stream file and the 1:500,000-
scale Hydrologic Unit Maps.  Plots containing both the
streams and the hydrologic unit boundaries were made at a
scale of 1:2,000,000. Hydrologic unit boundary
intersections were checked, as well as problem areas such
as points where streams crossed hydrologic unit
boundaries on the plot but not on the hydrologic unit
map.  More than 400 errors were found.  All errors that
could be corrected were corrected.  The remaining errors
could not be corrected because the streams were in error
rather than the hydrologic unit boundaries.

Finally, the hydrologic unit boundaries were plotted at
1:2,000,000 scale and compared to the NMD 1998
1:2,000,000-scale hydrologic data set.  Any discrepancies
were addressed by reference to either the 1:500,000-scale
or the 1:100,000-scale maps. The exceptions to this were
the hydrologic unit boundaries for Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto
Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.  The Alaska boundaries
were checked on a 1:2,500,000-scale plot but not
modified, because the boundaries cross glaciers, and it
is difficult to distinguish flow from the glaciers.  The
Hawaii hydrologic unit boundaries were not reviewed
because each island represents a cataloging unit. The
Puerto Rico and U.S. Virgin Islands boundaries were not
plotted but were reviewed on-screen using a 1:1,000,000
hydrologic data set created for the 1991 National Water
Summary.

The Horizontal positional accuracy of the data matches
the positional accuracy of the original compilation.

				<procdesc>The original hydrologic unit boundaries file (HUCS10)
was created through the following steps:

a) 1:2,000,000-scale stable-base map plots of drainage
(streams) and the latitude/longitude grid were obtained
from the USGS National Mapping Division (NMD).  These
plots were in the Lambert Conformal Conic projection, and
used 1:500,000-scale State base map projection
parameters.  Fifteen sections were plotted using 1970
National Atlas 1:2,000,000-scale sectional boundaries.

b) Individual State 1:500,000-scale hydrologic unit maps
in the Lambert Conformal Conic projection were
photoreduced to 1:2,000,000.

c) Hydrologic unit boundaries were compiled and the edges
were matched on scale-stable 1:2,000,000 plots.  The
boundaries were combined with the streams plots for
digitizing.

d) The hydrologic unit boundaries were digitized by
Automated Datatron, Hyattesville, MD., which digitizes
materials on contract for NMD.

e) Digital data from Automated Datatron was converted to
an ARC/INFO coverage, then checked and corrected.

f) A detailed, annotated list was compiled, listing
locations where hydrologic unit boundaries and streams
were coincident, or where 1:2,000,000-scale DLG streams
were in error.  Wherever possible, conflicts and errors
were resolved.

				<procdesc>HUCS11 was created by modifying and correcting the
HUCS10 file in ARC/INFO, and combining it with a
1:2,000,000-scale U.S. counties file to identify onshore
and offshore areas.  Other county attributes were
excluded.  This process was done in ARC/INFO, and used a
fuzzy tolerance of 2 meters.  A small part of the
original map, which laid on top of part of the Canadian
Great Lakes, was deleted.  The attributes were renamed
and expanded.

				<procdesc>Using ARC/INFO, HUCS111 was compared with the most
recent 1:2,000,000-scale streams file created by the USGS
National Mapping Division (NMD) for inclusion in the
National Atlas of the United States of America.  Where a
stream crossed a hydrologic unit boundary, the boundary
was compared to the 1:500,000-scale State hydrologic unit
map (Seaber).  If a stream and hydrologic unit boundary
intersection could not be resolved by this comparison,
the USGS 1:100,000-scale topographic quadrangles were
used.  All corrected hydrologic unit boundaries were
given a value of 5 for the Error_type attribute.  The
boundaries were changed by moving vertices to include the
stream in the appropriate hydrologic unit.  All editing
was done on-screen.  This step happened May 22, 1998 and
November 10, 1998.

The Region, Subregion, Accounting unit, and cataloging
unit names from Seaber were added to the data set and
spot-checked.  Cataloging unit names for Alaska were
added from the Alaska Hydrologic Unit Map (HUCAKmap).

Values for BNDTYPE were determined from the bounding
polygons using INDEX_HUC.AML.  This same procedure also
indexed the coverage on all user-defined items in the
.PAT and .AAT files.  A listing can be found in the file,
HUCS_2M.AML_INDEX (imbedded in the INFO file).

The attributes Error_type, Reg_name, Map_label,
Catalog_Unit_Nam, and Catalog_unit_num were added to the
file.

Two annotation layers were also added to the coverage.
One layer is called anno.maplabel1, which shows the first
six digits for each accounting unit. The labels for
accounting Regions 1 though 9 have the "0" in front of
the number. The second annotation layer is anno.catnum,
and this layer has the last 2 digit codes for each
cataloging unit. All numbers were checked manually on a
1:2,000,000-scale plot of the data set. The cataloging
unit names were spot-checked.  The file was modified to
agree with the official National Atlas coastline
(NAStates)

The ARC/INFO coverage was exported to create the
shapefiles and SDTS files.
