Statewide lakes were assembled from seventeen separate files in the USGS 1:2,000,000 Digital Line Graphs (DLG) dataset and include only those polygons with AREA greater than 20 acres (80940 square meters). Polygons with the attribute MIN = 100 or arcs with the attribute LINECODE = 'L' are valid lakes. For data codes and details, please refer to the US Geological Survey Circular 895, 1982. Due to the limitation of ARC/INFO software at the time of processing these files, the lakes were originally processed into three groups. Then a framework of arcs surrounding those three groups allowed all the lakes to be united into one statewide lakes coverage. Any lakes which were interested either by the boundaries of the seventeen...
Selected major rivers were extracted from all rivers and streams in the USGS 1:2,000,000 Digital Line Graphs (DLG) dataset. The major rivers include the Copper, Susitna, Kuskokwim, Yukon, Koyukuk, Kobuk, Noatak, and Colville Rivers. Set these rivers to the hierarchy attribute to "1". To access the complete statewide DLG dataset, refer to the "Rivers, 1:2,000,000" metadata. New to this coverage is a second hierarchical level of streams. These streams were pulled from the 1995 navigability coverage. This coverage, however, does not represent which streams are considered navigable by the state. The second hierarchy was added for cartographic purposes only - to provide a more complete river drainage layer on statewide...
