Summary

The National Hydrography Dataset (NHD) High Resolution flowlines were used as a base to provide additional information on the connectivity of the stream network for the hydrographic basins in and around Montana. In addition to the attributes that are published as part of the NHD data, two fields were added to the attribute table to associate streams that do not have a Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) name with the GNIS name and NHD reachcode of the nearest downstream named flowline. 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 were originally developed at 1:100,000-scale [...]

Purpose

The purpose of these data is to provide water-resource managers and decision makers with the GNIS name and unique identifier of the nearest downstream flowlines for all unnamed flowlines that are part of the connected NHD network in and around Montana.
