Description: 

Linear hydrology (streams, rivers, etc) for Region 8

Abstract:

    This coverage contains linear hydrology (streams, creeks, rivers,           
    etc.) for EPA Region 8. These data were derived from the USGS               
    Digital Line Graph (DLG) files. For a complete copy of the                  
    USGS metadata for the DLG information at the 1:100,000 scale refer to       
    http://edcwww.cr.usgs.gov/nsdi/html/dlg100/dlg100

Purpose:

    ArcInfo and related software                                                
                                                                                
      Intended use of data:                                                   
    Mapping of linear hydrology
