Name: NHD(24K) Linear Surface Water Drainage Network
Display Field: GNIS_NAME
Type: Feature Layer
Geometry Type: esriGeometryPolyline
Description: This data set contains routes that make up a linear surface water drainage network. This is the fundamental flow network consisting predominantly of stream/river and artificial path vector features. It represents the spatial geometry, carries the attributes, models the water flow, and contains linear referencing measures for locating events on the network. Additional NHDFlowline features are canal/ditch, pipeline, connector, underground conduit, and coastline. The National Hydrography Dataset (NHD) is a feature-based database that interconnects and uniquely identifies the stream segments or reaches that make up the nation's surface water drainage system. NHD data was originally developed at 1:100,000-scale and exists at that scale for the whole country. This high-resolution NHD, generally developed at 1:24,000/1:12,000 scale, adds detail to the original 1:100,000-scale NHD. The data was originally published by the USGS then it is modified by the NHD data steward for Florida (FDEP). When received from FDEP, this data was originally in geodatabase format. When in shapefile format the data loses the network functionality of the geodatabase. Please contact the FDEP if you need the original geodatabase.
Description: This data set contains regions representing areal NHD hydrographic landmark features. One of the more important is the stream/river feature. It represents the aerial extent of the water in a wide stream/river with a basic set of attributes. They typically contain NHDFlowline artificial paths that are used to model the stream/river. Artificial path carries the critical attributes of the stream/river, whereas NHDArea represents the geometric extent.

Description: This data set contains regions representing areal NHD hydrographic waterbody features. Basic waterbodies such as lake/pond features are represented here. They portray the spatial geometry and the attributes of the feature. These water polygons may contain NHDFlowline artificial paths to allow the representation of water flow. Other NHDWaterbody features are swamp/marsh, reservoir, playa, estuary, and ice mass.
