Purpose: U.S. National Atlas Water Feature Areas provides the water feature areas for geographic display and analysis at regional and national levels. Supplemental_Information: U.S. National Atlas Water Feature Areas (HYDROPLY) is an ESRI shapefile with polygon features. This is a subset of the original dataset. It has been clipped to the extent of the Gulf of Maine surficial sediment GIS project area. Largest scale when displaying the data: 1:1,000,000.

The shapefile is exported using Avenue request ExportClean. This request verifies and enforces the correctness of shapes. Completeness_Report: After processing, the data set is checked for drawing display and number of records and file sizes compared with source materials. Data completeness generally reflects the content of the original Digital Line Graph (DLG) files. This is a subset of the original dataset and has been clipped to the extent of the Gulf of Maine surficial sediment GIS project area. Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report: The geospatial part of this data set was originally extracted from the individual 1:2,000,000-scale State boundary Digital Line Graph (DLG) files produced by the U.S. Geological Survey which have a positional accuracy of 1,720 meters. It was updated several times using various sources whose horizontal positional accuracies are unknown.

The 1:2,000,000-scale Digital Line Graph (DLG) data were merged into a single national hydrography coverage. Where necessary to effect the merge, alignment changes were made. The names were taken from the USGS Topographic 1:100,000-scale maps. For Alaska, the names were taken from the USGS Topographic 1:250,000-scale maps. State lines across water bodies were removed from the national coverage. State attributes were assigned to the features. Some spatial features were added and corrected. Some name attributes were added or corrected. All occurrences of St. were changed to Saint. Extra spaces were removed from the attributes. Hydrographic features for Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands were added. A minor adjustment was made to the shoreline in Galveston Bay, Texas. Process_Date: 1999 Source_Produced_Citation_Abbreviation: National Atlas Process_Step: Process_Description: The following steps were performed by ESRI: Downloaded the ArcView Shapefile version of the data, hydrogp020.tar.gz, from http://www.nationalatlas.gov/atlasftp.html and extracted it. Removed unneeded attributes. Removed null records. Reduced the width of attributes. Created ArcGIS layer file (.lyr). Created ArcView legend file (.avl). Created projection file (.prj). Ran ArcView Avenue request ExportClean, and created spatial indices.
