Global Map: 1:1,000,000-Scale Streams of the United States, 2014
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- This line shapefile includes Global Map data showing streams in the United States, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. The data are a modified version of the National Atlas of the United States 1:1,000,000-Scale Streams of the United States; that file was produced primarily from the Medium-Resolution and High-Resolution National Hydrography Dataset NHDFlowline feature classes, through feature selection and cartographic generalization based on reference to published small-scale ancillary data sets.
- Purpose
- Global Map data are part of a cooperative effort among national mapping organizations around the world to produce and maintain a standard set of basic cartographic data that supports global investigations of natural and human-built environments. Participating nations prepare data using a common data structure and description to ensure compatibility and to tangibly promote the tenets of the Global Spatial Data Infrastructure. These data are intended for geographic display and analysis at the national level, and for large regional areas. The data should be displayed and analyzed at scales appropriate for 1:1,000,000-scale data. No responsibility is assumed by the National Atlas of the United States in the use of these data.
