Description:

Contains polygonal hydrology (lakes, some rivers, etc) in Region 8

Abstract:

    This coverage and dataset contain the polygonal hydrology for               
    EPA Region 8. This coverage contains ponds, lakes, and linear               
    hydrology that has been re-digitized for small scale mapping                
    projects. The database is limited to just the pseudo items                  
    created by ArcInfo and one item used for mapping. This coverage             
    is used with the linear hydrology coverage for complete                     
    hydrologic mapping.

Purpose:

    This coverage is suitable for hydrologic mapping with ArcInfo and           
    related software.                                                           
                                                                                
    Intended use of data:                                                   
      Mapping of polygonal hydrology

Limitations_of_Data:

      There is no feature name so annotation of the hydrology will have        
      be checked against another source map.

Procedures:

     This coverage was derived from USGS DLG data files.

Reviews_Applied:

     None.

Other_Related_Data_Sets:

     this coverage for complete hydrologic mapping.
