1991 USGS DLG HYDROGRAPHY FOR THE CONTERMINOUS UNITED STATES
Description:
The Digital Line Graph (DLG) H layer in the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Spatial Data Library System (ESDLS) National 1:2,000,000-scale library, provides the stream and canal data, derived from a subset of the 1991 United States Geological Survey (USGS) 1:2,000,000-Scale Digital Line Graph (DLG) Data CD-ROM. The DLG H layer is an ARC/INFO line coverage. The DLG H layer provides data for applications that need to display stream and canal data at small scales.

Data Use & Constraints
:The EPA Systems Development Center (SDC) Product Assurance (PA) Team performed quality assurance and quality control against the DLG H layer data. The PA Team checked for positional and visual accuracy, and logical consistency within the defined projection system.
Positional and visual accuracy and logical consistency were verified by viewing each state tile in ArcView 2.0. PA verified the existence of the DLG H layer for every tile, and also checked the DLG H layer against
the other data layers in that tile (DLG A, DLG CNTY_POL, and DLG STATE_POL). If any holes or inaccuracies occurred in the data, a Test Incident Report (TIR) was generated. Each view was saved as an .xwd file as verifiable objective evidence of PA efforts. This data is used and made available through Region 10 XINFO mapping applications when large area maps (>1:250,000) are scaled to fit 15 x 11 page sizes.
