Description:
Abstract:
This is a 1:24,000-scale datalayer of regional drainage basins in Connecticut. It just includes the regional basins that are in the original basin datalayer. The regional basin datalayer extends beyond the Connecticut boundary to include the headwaters of every regional basin that flows into the state, except for the Connecticut River basin. This includes two Shapefiles with line and polygon features. The line Shapefile delineates major and regional basin boundaries. The polygon Shapefile includes approximately 85 regional basin polygons, each one identified by a 2 digit regional 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. In addition to the 2 digit regional basin number, each regional basin polygon has a 1 digit major basin number. 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.
