Description:

Abstract:

8 digit hydrologic unit boundaries for Alaska. (4th level HUCs)

Purpose:

This coverage is intended as a basemap for national level analysis.

Supplemental_Information:

Limitations_of_Data: This coverage is designed for national, regional, and state level analysis. It may not be appropriate for use at larger scales. (1:2,000,000 appropriate)

Procedures_Used: This coverage contains the 8 digit hydrologic unit boundaries for Alaska. The coverage was downloaded by Iowa State University from USGS (<http://water.usgs.gov/lookup/getspatial?huc250k>). NRCS clipped the coverage to a shoreline created by the National Center for Resource Innovations (NCRI). NCRI derived the shoreline from 1:2,000,000 scale USGS Digital Line Graph (DLG) files

Revisions: This coverage was last updated in 2000.

Reviews_Applied_to_Data: This coverage has received no formal review, although it has been widely used by NRCS since 2000 and any serious errors would have been obvious.

Related_Spatial_and_Tabular_Data_Sets: Other State of the Land basemap coverages include counties and Federal lands, derived from USGS coverages, and a Major Land Resource Areas (MLRA) coverage derived from the MLRA map in Agricultural Handbook 296. These are intended to have the same shoreline and outer boundaries, although this has not been thoroughly verified.
