Lanfear, K.J. 1991 Reston, Virginia U.S. Geological Survey http://water.usgs.gov/lookup/getspatial?stream This is a 1:2,000,000 coverage of streams for the conterminous United States. streams This coverage was intended for use as a background display for the National Water Summary program. Procedures_Used: The stream layer was extracted from the 1:2,000,000 Digital Line Graph files. Originally, each state was stored as a separate coverage. In this version, the individual state coverages all have been appended. Revisions: Rev. 1.0 Original DLG conversion, state-by-state. Process_Date c1986 Rev. 2.0 Converted to the Data General workstation. All states joined into a single coverage. Process_Date 01/02/92 Reviews_Applied_to_Data: Rev. 1.0 has seen extensive use in a variety of studies.

Put "None" if there are no restrictions) The state coverages are merely appended. No adjustments were made to edge match or to form a continuous routing for streams.

None Unclassified None dgux, 5.4R3.10, AViiON UNIX, ARC/INFO version 7.0.4 See Entity_Attribute_Information See Explanation Attribute accuracy is described, where present, with each attribute defined in the Entity and Attribute Section. Chain-node topology present. (Information in wordy narrative form describing omissions, selection criteria, generalization, definitions used, and other rules applied to derive the data set) (An explanation of the accuracy of the horizontal coordinate measurements and a description of tests used, if any, to determine horizontal positional accuracy. This is different from horizontal resolution as reported in the DOC file. Positional accuracy defines how correctly the digital features match real-world features and woiuld be related to the concept of the National Map Accuracy Standard -- xx% of well-defined point features fall within xx units of their true position. The resolution is the smallest unit of measure the GIS can reliably manage without truncation or rounding.) (The same as above, but for vertical information that may be encoded with the 2-D features such as cell or contour estimates of a vertical dimension. A description of the contour interval of input data and its basis could be described here.)
