Title:: Montana USGS Water Information System Surfacewater Sites and Streamflow Data, 1992
Other citation details:: These data were formerly called "hd42", "hd44", and "hd45" on the NRIS web site.

Abstract:

These are three feature classes of surface water quality and stream gauge sites obtained from the U.S. Geological Survey's National Water Information System (NWIS or WATSTORE) in 1991 and 1992. One layer contains all of the Automatic Data Processing System (ADAPS) sites, another contains miscellaneous irregularly sampled non-ADAPS sites, and the third layer contains streamflow stations and monthly stream flow data summaries. The data were provided to the State Library by EarthInfo, Inc., of Boulder Colorado. The manual for the complete database that these layers are from is USGS Open-File Report 89-587. Sites include streamflow and water quality stations.
