Data Quality Information
Logical Consistency Report
No duplicate features are present. The shapefile is converted to SDC (Smart Data Compression) format in ArcSDE. This verifies and validates the geometry.
Completeness Report
After processing, the data set is checked for drawing display and number of records and file sizes compared with source materials. Some of the cartographic disparities with this data, inherent in the original 1:100,000 source data, remain in that the density of features can change abruptly. [From National Hydrography Dataset (NHD) documentation - The completeness of the data reflects the content of the sources, which, in the initial release of the National Hydrography Dataset, most often are U.S. Geological Survey topographic maps. Features found on the ground may have been eliminated or generalized on the source graphic because of scale and legibility constraints. In general, streams longer than one mile (approximately 1.6 kilometers) were collected. Most streams that flow from a lake were collected regardless of length. Only definite channels were collected so not all swamp/marsh features have stream/rivers delineated through them. Lake/ponds having an area greater than 6 acres (approximately 2.4 hectares) were collected. Note, however, that these general rules were applied unevenly among maps during compilation. Some map quadrangles have a much sparser pattern of hydrography than do adjoining maps and these differences continue in the digital rendition of these features. Transport reaches are defined on nearly all features of type stream/river, canal/ditch, artificial path, pipeline, and connector. Waterbody reaches are defined on the subset of lake/pond features that were identified as waterbodies during the development of Reach File Version 3. Most attention in applying geographic names was given to transport reaches that follow stream/rivers and waterbody reaches. Near the international boundaries with Canada and Mexico, only the parts of features within the United States are delineated. Detailed capture conditions are provided for every feature type in the Standards for National Hydrography Dataset (USGS, 1999), available online through http://geography.usgs.gov/standards/.]
Horizontal Positional Accuracy Report
The data set originally comes from several sources. Most of the data is from U.S. Geological Survey topographic quadrangle maps or sources that exceed its horizontal accuracy. These maps were compiled to meet National Map Accuracy Standards. For horizontal accuracy, this standard is met if at least 90 percent of points tested are within 0.02 inch (at map scale) of their true position. At 1:100,000 scale, 0.02 inch is approximately 167 feet (50.8 meters).

FTYPE
The feature type of river or stream.
ARTIFICIAL PATH
The linear water feature allows connectivity through areal features (for example, lake/ponds and stream/rivers).
CANAL/DITCH
The linear water feature is a canal (1-dimensional) or ditch (1-dimensional).
CONNECTOR
The linear water feature is a connector (fill gaps in the delineation of features through which water flows).
PIPELINE
The linear water feature is a pipeline.
STREAM/RIVER
The linear water feature is a stream (1-dimensional) or river (1-dimensional).

FCODE
The feature code (five-digit) for the river or stream. The first three digits encode the feature type; the last two digits encode values for a set of characteristics associated with the feature.

STRM_LEVEL
The numeric code that identifies the path level of water flow through a drainage network for the river or stream. The lowest value ["1" for rivers or streams that terminate at the Atlantic, Pacific, or Arctic Oceans, the Gulf of Mexico, or the Caribbean Sea; "2" for rivers or streams that terminate at the Great Lakes or the Great Salt Lake; "3" for rivers or streams that terminate at the boundary of the United States with Canada or Mexico; "4" for rivers or streams that terminate at any other place (isolated drainage).] for stream level is assigned to a river or stream at the end of a flow and to upstream rivers and streams that trace the main path of flow back to the head. The stream level value is incremented by one and is assigned to all rivers and streams that terminate at this path (that is, all tributaries to the path) and to all rivers and streams that trace the main path of the flow along each tributary back to its head. The stream level value is incremented again and is assigned to rivers and streams that trace the main path of the tributaries to their heads. This process is continued until all rivers and streams for which flow is encoded are assigned a stream level. (1 to 99)
