Summary

These data were released prior to the October 1, 2016 effective date for the USGS’s policy dictating the review, approval, and release of scientific data as referenced in USGS Survey Manual Chapter 502.8 Fundamental Science Practices: Review and Approval of Scientific Data for Release. This data set contains hydrologic cataloging-unit boundaries for selected units within the Powder River drainage basin of Wyoming. The hydrologic unit boundaries were delineated by using a hydrologically-conditioned digital elevation model covering the Powder River drainage basin to produce preliminary boundaries of smaller hydrologic units. Interactive editing followed in which the cataloging-unit boundaries were digitized on computer monitor screens [...]

Purpose

Hydrologic cataloging units provide a uniquely identified and uniform method of subdividing larger drainage areas. These hydrologic units are useful for a variety of applications by several agencies and organizations. The boundaries of cataloging units (fourth-level watersheds) also form the framework for subsequent subdivision to delineate fifth- and sixth-level watersheds, an ongoing activity within Wyoming. These data were prepared as part of a pilot project to delineate fifth- and sixth-level watersheds in northeast Wyoming. Preliminary delineations were prepared for an extensive area, but digitizing at 1:24,000 scale was limited to the cataloging-unit boundaries included herein prior to the exhaustion of allocated resources.
