Abstract
This data represents hydrography for Wisconsin, in 2023 and includes the layers 'WD_HYDRO_BANK_LN_24K', 'WD_HYDRO_FLOWLINE_LN_24K', 'WD_HYDRO_FLOWLINE_WBIC_LN_24K', 'WD_HYDRO_JUNCTION_PT_24K', 'WD_HYDRO_LINE_LN_24K', 'WD_HYDRO_POINT_PT_24K', 'WD_HYDRO_WATERBODY_AR_24K', and 'WD_HYDRO_WATERBODY_WBIC_AR_24K'[The DNR Hydrography database was developed statewide using several 1:24,000-scale sources. This data layer includes information about surface water features represented on the USGS 1:24,000-scale topographic map series such as perennial and intermittent streams, lakes, etc. Because the sources of the Hydrography data span many years and originate from several sources, the data may reflect areas of transition from one source to another. As a result, the water features as represented in the Hydrography data may not always match what you see on a particular USGS quad or Digital Raster Graphic (DRG). The DNR has updated 24k hydro surface water feature names following federal guidance to replace derogatory names. Please refer to the full list: https://edits.nationalmap.gov/apps/gaz-domestic/public/all-official-sq-names and online map: https://geonarrative.usgs.gov/names_taskforce/ provided by the United States Geological Survey for name change details. Authoritative download of the updated data is available from: https://data-wi-dnr.opendata.arcgis.com/ The DNR has also updated public map services for these changes.]
Purpose
This data is intended for reference and mapping purposes, and may be used for basic applications such as viewing, querying, and map output production, or to provide a basemap to support graphical overlays and analysis with other spatial data. [Wisconsin statewide surface water features at a scale of 1:24,000]
