Description:

Abstract: This shapefile contains polygons representing the stream basins of the French Creek watershed in western New York. Basins were developed for stream segments at the 1:24,000 scale from 7.5 minute topographic quadrangles. For the purposes of this study, a stream segment is defined as the portion of stream from tributary confluence to tributary confluence.

Purpose: To define the drainage basin for each stream segment.

Supplemental_Information: This dataset was developed as part of the "Application of Gap Analysis to Aquatic Biodiversity Conservation", a pilot study by the New York Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research Unit. See <http://aquagap.cfe.cornell.edu/>

Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy:

Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report: Positional accuracy is limited to the extent that polygons were created from hand delineation using 1:24,000-scale topographic maps.

Lineage:

Process_Step:

Process_Description: Drainage divides were hand delineated on United States Geological Survey (USGS) 1:24,000-scale topographic maps for all stream segments. Once delineated, all divides were digitized into Arc/Info. Edge matching and error correction were performed to create a single GIS map for the French Creek watershed.

Process_Date: Unknown

Process_Step:

Process_Description: CUGIR staff defined the dataset projection as UTM18N (NAD27), removed extraneous attributes, and exported the data as a shapefile.
