Publication_Date: 200202 Title: Powder/Tongue River Basin Plan Edition: First Edition Geospatial_Data_Presentation_Form: document Publication_Information: Publication_Place: Cheyenne, Wyoming Publisher: Wyoming Water Development Commission Other_Citation_Details: The Powder/Tongue River Basin Plan was authorized by the 2000 Wyoming Legislature as part of the State Water Plan. The planning area is located in all or portions of Sheridan, Johnson, Washakie, Natrona, Campbell, Crook, and Converse Counties, Wyoming. The planning area encompasses the Little Bighorn, Tongue, and Powder River Basins. Online_Linkage: http://waterplan.state.wy.us/ Description: Abstract: This dataset contains 1:250,000-scale hydrologic unit code level 4 boundaries for those cataloging units comprising the Powder/Tongue River Basin Planning Area - this dataset is clipped to the planning area. The Geographic Information Retrieval and Analysis System (GIRAS) was developed in the mid-70s to put into digital form a number of data layers which were of interest to the USGS. One of these data layers was the Hydrologic Units. The map is based on the Hydrologic Unit Maps published by the USGS Office of Water Data Coordination, together with the list descriptions and name of region, subregion, accounting units, and cataloging units. The hydrologic units are encoded with an eight- digit number that indicates the hydrologic region (first two digits), hydrologic subregion (second two digits), accounting unit (third two digits), and cataloging unit (fourth two digits). The data produced by GIRAS was originally collected at a scale of 1:250,000. Some areas, notably major cities in the west, were recompiled at a scale of 1:100,000. In order to join the data together and use the data in a geographic information system (GIS) that data were processed in the ARC/INFO GIS software package. Within the GIS, the data were edgematched and the neatline boundaries between maps were removed to create a single data sest for the conterminous United States. Purpose: This dataset was extracted and clipped from the Missouri River Basin (Region 10) HUC boundary coverage specifically for use in the Powder/Tongue River Basin Plan. The dataset was used to clipped the various GIS layers developed to the planning area boundaries and also in the figures developed for the Plan Report and Technical Memoranda as a locational guide. The dataset was compiled originally to provide the National Water Quality Assessment (NAWQA) study units with an intermediate-scale river basin boundary for extracting other GIS data layers. The data can also be used for illustration purposes at intermediate or small scale (1:250,000 to 1:2,000,000). Time_Period_of_Content: Time_Period_Information: Single_Date/Time: Calendar_Date: 1994 Currentness_Reference: publication date Status: Progress: Complete Maintenance_and_Update_Frequency: The HUC level 4 boundary dataset is not expected to be updated. However, the level 5 and level 6 boundaries are in the process of being digitized and are expected to supercede this dataset.

Use_Constraints: This data was extracted and clipped specifically for use in the Powder/Tongue River Basin Plan project. These data were digitized at a scale of 1:250,000 with some portions of the (countrywide) coverage at 1:100,000- and 1:2,000,000-scales. Limitations of the data strictly revolve around this scale input. Use of these boundaries with larger scale data (i.e. 1:24,000 hydrography) is not recommended as it would be beyond resolution capabilities of the dataset.
