Description:
Abstract:
This is a 1:24,000-scale datalayer of major drainage basins in Connecticut. It just includes the major basins that are in the original basin datalayer. The major basin datalayer extends beyond the Connecticut boundary to include the headwaters of every major basin that flows into the state, except for the Connecticut River basin. The datalayer includes two Shapefiles with line and polygon features. The line Shapefile delineates major basin boundaries. The polygon Shapefile includes 10 major basin polygons, each one identified by a 1 digit major basin number. Both Shapefiles should be used together, but you can just use the line Shapefile if you only want to cartographically represent the basin boundary hierarchy or just the polygon Shapefile if you are interested in drainage basin numbers for certain areas, etc. Individual lines are classified according to drainage basin arc code. The drainage basin boundaries were originally delineated by interpreting the contour elevation lines and the hydrography network appearing on the 7½ minute U.S. Geological Survey quadrangle maps that cover Connecticut and published between 1969 and 1984. This work was conducted by the Environmental and Geographic Information Center (formally the Natural Resources Center) of DEP.
