Description:
Abstract:
Cartographic layers by county representing streams and shorelines for all of Illinois and portions of surrounding states. Derived from the US Geological Survey 1:100,000 Digital Line Graph file, hydrography layer, 1980-1986. Polygon topology is not included (i.e. Lakes can not be identified or shaded). The estimated error in horizontal position based on National Map Accuracy Standards is 167 feet. Many class 1 streams are not included. Edgematching and generation of polygon topology for lakes and large rivers is incomplete. Each arc does carry attributes describing its character.

Purpose:
These data are appropriate for use in local and regional thematic analysis using streams or shorelines. Data are not appropriate as a geodetic or engineering base.

Supplemental_Information:
The path to these data sets is *path_name_suppressed*/streams where <county_name> should be replaced with the name of the county of interest. Longer county names have been truncated to eight characters.

Fixes needed for streams are: HLINE should be removed from the by county data sets.

Data_Quality_Information:
Attribute_Accuracy:
Attribute_Accuracy_Report: None. Consult source DLG information.

Logical_Consistency_Report:
Data set is topologically structured linear data however data have not been thoroughly edgematched and are not a topologically complete representation of the hydrologic network. Pseudo nodes and discontinuities exist on many arcs.

Completeness_Report:
No statement of completeness was provided with the original USGS DLG data. Visual inspection and comparison with other larger scale sources suggests that many first and second order streams are not included. The level of detail (completeness) varies across quad (module) boundaries due to the variation in the original DLG data.

Process_Step:
Process_Description:
D. Nelson of ISGS corrected data for Pike and Scott counties. Eleven stream arcs occurred in the northeast corner of the Pike county streams coverage that should actually be in the Scott county streams coverage. It is assumed that this was caused by clipping the original statewide streams coverage with an incorrect county boundary. The fix was performed in ArcEdit 7x by selecting the arcs in the Pike coverage and PUTting them into the Scott coverage.

Entity_and_Attribute_Information:
Overview_Description:
Entity_and_Attribute_Overview:

Attribute items are in feature class format. Those arc attribute items requiring addintional expalnation are:

 ENR, Redefined to ENR1 and ENR2
      Code composed of one or two parts describing the
      type of feature represented. Derived from original
      coding in DLG files.
      from Standards for Digital Line Graphs, USGS, 1987.

      Values for ENR1 include:
        200  -  shoreline
        201  -  manmade shoreline
        203  -  indefinite shoreline
        204  -  apparent limit, delineates patterned areas on quads
        412  -  stream
        414  -  ditch of canal
        415  -  aqueduct
        418  -  siphon
        419* -  boundary of a channel in a waterbody

      Values for ENR2 include:
        406  -  dam
        407  -  canal lock or sluice gate
        409  -  gate (flood, tidal, head, check)
        605  -  right bank
        606  -  left bank
        610  -  intermittent
        611  -  abandoned

      These codes are not consistent with USGS coding
      but were added by IGIS staff to originally unattributed arcs.

      Special cases of minor code values:
      202 (closure):   This value appears both alone and as a
                       modifier for streams (412) and ditches (414).
                       This code is maintained as 202 in ENR2.
                       ENR codes containing 202 include 000202,
                       412202 & 414202.

      406 (dams):      This value appears both alone and as a modifier
                       to shorelines (200). This code is maintained
                       as 406 in ENR2. Possible codes include 000406
                       and 200406.

      602 (overpassing)
      617 (underpassing): These descriptors are modifiers for a
                         number of feature types including siphons
                         (418), streams (412) and ditches (414).
                         They are carried in item OV-UN. 1 indicates
                         overpassing and 2 indicates underpassing.

      Precedence:
      In a few limited cases, information coded in the original
      data was discarded due to how the codes were restructured.

      These situations are resolved as follows:
      intermittent and closure line are coded as closure lines (202)
      intermittent and abandoned are coded as intermittent (610)
      414 610 202 ditch intermittent closure. Closure supersedes
      414 610 611 ditch intermittent abandoned. Interim. supersedes

 OV-UN
     Overpassing indicates a feature that passes over
       rather than intersects another feature, such as
       an aqueduct. Note that this is not maintained topologically.
       Underpassing indicates a feature passing under another
       feature, such as an aqueduct.
       from Standards for Digital Line Graphs,
       USGS, 1987.
       Domain:      0 - Neither
                    1 - overpassing
                    2 - underpassing

 COINCIDENT
       DLG feature code indicating the type of feature in
       other DLG data sets with which this arc is coincident.
       This attribute was carried over form the original
       DLG data set and has not been checked or maintained.
       Refer to USGS DLG Users Guide.
       from Standards for Digital Line Graphs, USGS, 1987.
       Domain: See USGS DLG Users Guide 2.
