  Description:
    Abstract: This vector data layer is a background of the rivers that fall within the US basemap data layer and are distributed with the Long Island Sound ArcView project file.
    Purpose: The purpose of this data layer is to provide a general reference as to major river systems that fall within the US basemap data layer and border the Long Island Sound study area.
