California Lakes
NOTE: In 2013, the California Department of Fish and Game (CDFG, DFG) was renamed to California Department of Fish and Widlife (CDFW). This dataset is an update of California lake, reservoir, and pond layers as assembled by the California Department of Fish and Game (DFG). It includes many small and unnamed waterbodies in the High Sierra and California Cascades, some of which are not depicted on USGS 7.5-minute/1:24,000-scale topographic maps. Most data were captured at 1:24,000-scale or better. Waterbodies are represented as single polygons (with islands), with Latitude/Longitude coordinates of waterbody centroids and a unique numeric identifier for each. Waterbody polygons represent shorelines generally at full or near-full levels. A previous version of this dataset did not contain islands. This dataset is considered authoritative as used by CDFW for particular tracking purposes but may not be current or comprehensive for all waterbodies in the state.
