Abstract
The data set portrays the polygon and line water features of New York State. The file was produced by joining the individual State hydrography layers from the 1:2,000,000- scale Digital Line Graph (DLG) data produced by the USGS. This is a revised version of the March 1999 data set. Some small streams, ponds, lakes, and reservoirs cannot be portrayed at this scale. We have associated names to all stream segments and water bodies for which official geographic names were available.
Purpose
These data are intended for geographic display and analysis at the national level, and for large regional areas. The data should be displayed and analyzed at scales appropriate for 1:2,000,000-scale data. No responsibility is assumed by the U.S. Geological Survey in the use of these data.

Data Quality Information
Logical Consistency Report
The data set was checked for topological consistency using the Arc/INFO command BUILD. No other checks for logical consistency were performed on this data set.
Completeness Report
This data set includes hydrography for all 50 States, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Data completeness generally reflects the content of the original DLG files.

Feature
The type of linear water feature.
Apparent Limit
A naturally occurring line of contact between a body of water and the land. Conditions prevent the feature from being confidently positioned.
Aqueduct
A structure designed to transport domestic or industrial water from a supply source to a distribution point, often by gravity.
Braided Stream
A stream or river that flows in an intricate network of interlacing channels.
Canal
An artificial open waterway constructed to transport water, to irrigate or drain land, to connect two or more bodies of water, or to serve as a waterway for water craft.
