Abstract
These data layers represent hydrography for Sauk County, Wisconsin in 2011. It is a feature class within the geodatabase, "Sauk_Hydro_2011.gdb". The feature layers included in this geodatabase are 'Creeks_2011', 'Rivers_2011', and 'Sauk_HydroPoly_2011'.[This feature class is made up of polygon features representing waterbodies in Sauk County, WI. The waterbodies were digitized off of the Sauk County 2010 1-foot color ortho-imagery at a scale of 1:600. Spatial accuracy is therefore consistent across the entire county. Vertex density varies between streams depending on the sinuosity of that particular stream. Also, vertex density is intentionally higher within city and village boudaries. To only be viewed at a scale smaller than 1:600.]
Purpose
This layer 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. [The purpose of this feature class is to improve the spatial accuracy of water features in Sauk County, WI.]
