NHD Lines represent linear NHD hydrographic landmark features used for cartographic representation.
The NHD was created to assist scientists in modeling hydrologic features and is also useful for cartographic mapping purposes. The geometric features that came from the USGS DLG files, combined with the flow direction, reach codes, and other attributes taken from the EPA RF3 file, make the NHD a powerful modeling tool.
