Date 1990
Content Type Downloadable Data
Abstract This layer contains streams and lakes selected from 1:100,000 scale US Census Bureau TIGER files. The featues were selected to approximately match data shown in USGS 1:2,000,000 scale DLG files. In these layers, lines may represent the centerline of a stream, the shorelines of a wide stream represented by a polygon, the shorelines of a lake, or a boundary between two polygons with different names. Polygons may represent lakes or wide streams. These layers are intended for cartographic representation of lakes and streams rather than geographic analyses.Feature names are mostly from the TIGER files. Some were obtained from from Montana DOT county maps and USGS topographic maps.
