USGS Streamgage NHDPlus Version 1 Basins 2011
This dataset represents 19,031 basin boundaries and their streamgage locations
for the U.S. Geological Survey's (USGS) active and historical streamgages from
the published dataset of Stewart and others (2006) and its subsequent updates
(D.W. Stewart, USGS, written commun., 2011). Only the basin boundaries that
were delineated within 15 percent of the basin area reported in the National
Water Information System (NWIS) were included in this dataset. This dataset
only includes streamgage basins in the lower 48 states and not in Alaska,
Hawaii, or Puerto Rico. The basin boundaries and streamgage locations are
provided in 18 shapefiles separated by 2-digit Hydrologic Unit Code. The USGS
streamgage station's identification number attached to each delineated polygon
can be linked to the attribute data found in Stewart and others (2006). The
delineated watersheds were made from digital elevation models found in the
NHDPlus data suite (version 1, 2006) and based on gage locations provided by
Stewart and others (2006). These basins have been used in several USGS studies
such as James Falcone's "GAGES-II: Geospatial Attributes of Gages for Evaluating
Streamflow" (2011) and Xiaodong Jian and others, "WaterWatch-Maps, Graphs, and
Tables of Current, Recent, and Past Streamflow Conditions " (2008).
