Abstract:
-
This data set includes the streams from the Streams
and Waterbodies data set available above from the National Atlas website.
It portrays the line water features of West Virginia and surrounding
states. This full metadata record was copied from the website above, for
general user information. Users wanting the original dataset, should
retrieve it from the National Atlas website.
-
The file was produced by joining the individual State
hydrography layers from the 1:2,000,000- scale Digital Line Graph (DLG)
data produced by the USGS. This is a revised version of the March 1999
data set.
-
Purpose:
-
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 1:2,000,000-scale data. No responsibility is
assumed by the U.S. Geological Survey in the use of these data.

Process_Description:
-
The 2MILHY data files were originally digitized by the National Mapping
Division based on the sectional maps contained in 'The National Atlas of
the United States of America' published by the USGS in 1970. The 1:2,000,000-scale
Digital Line Graph (DLG) data were merged into a single national hydrography
coverage. Where necessary to effect the merge, alignment changes were made.
The names were taken from the USGS 1:100,000-scale base maps. For Alaska,
the names were taken from the 1:250,000-scale sheets. State lines across
water bodies were removed from the national coverage. State attributes
were assigned to the features.

Some spatial features were added and corrected. Some name attributes were
added or corrected. All occurrences of St. were changed to Saint. Extra
spaces were removed from the attributes. Hydrographic features for Puerto
Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands were added.
