Description:
Abstract:
This spatial layer contains information about sites on streams in the upper Washita River basin in southwestern Oklahoma where the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) collected information from 1928 to 2005. The sites were retrieved from the USGS National Water Information System (NWIS) database in September 2005. Each site has an attribute 'STAID' that relates it to environmental data collected at the site in the tabular files 'USGS_streamflow', 'USGS_streamflowDV', and 'USGS_stream_wq'.
Purpose:
To provide stream information to users working in the upper Washita River basin.
Supplemental_Information:
There are three tabular files that can be related to the stream sites in this spatial layer using the attribute 'STAID'; 'USGS_Streamflow' , 'USGS_streamflowDV' and 'USGS_stream_wq'

Process_Step:
Process_Description:
Site information was retrieved from the USGS NWIS database. A shapefile was created using site latitude and longitude coordinates in ArcMap. The shapefile was projected, imported into the geodatabase, and metadata written.
