Abstract
Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources1;24,000 scale hydrography (statewide) consists of a series of features including: (1) Natural bounding lines of hydro waterbody features; (2)Linear features representing streams, rivers and artificial flow through water; (3) Linear features representing streams, rivers and artificial flow through water that have been assigned a Waterbody Identification Code - WBIC; (4) Junction point features used to establish point attributes on a network; (5)Linear features including channel in water, original water course, fish hatchery walls, etc.; (6) Hydrological Point data such as springs, etc.; (7) Water features such as Lakes, Reservoirs, Wide Streams and River, and Unspecified Open Water features.; (8) Water features such as Lakes, Reservoirs, Wide Streams and River, and Unspecified Open Water features that have been assigned a Waterbody Identification Code - WBIC.
Purpose
Wisconsin statewide surface water features (points, lines, and Polygons) at a scale of 1:24,000

Resource Constraints
Use Limitation
[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). Wetlands delineations are not included in the DNR Hydrography data layer.]
