Summary

A new and more complete version of this dataset can be found at https://doi.org/10.5066/P9QQTKA0. This dataset contains information about waterfall location and characteristics. It also provides a linear reference to two National Hydrography Datasets. This dataset is based off the World Waterfall Database (WWD) and other source datasets. The coordinates and spatial attributes from the WWD were used to help verify locations in Google Earth. From there, the USGS HydroLink Tool was used to link data to both the NHDPlusV2.1 (1:100,000 scale) and NHD High Resolution Dataset (1:24,000 scale). This dataset currently includes waterfalls from the states of Indiana, Wisconsin, Michigan, Nebraska, Illinois and Missouri. Waterfalls from other [...]

Purpose

This dataset is intended to contribute to the USGS Spatial Features Registry. This registry will be used to capture and distribute information about features related to active biogeographic science efforts in the USGS. Waterfall locations and characteristics are critical data for modeling of aquatic species distributions and migration patterns.
