Description:
Abstract:
The connected network of streams and waterways of Pennsylvania are indicated as single lines in this coverage.  Waterways are given connected topology to show the direction of flow from the headwaters of the stream through the watershed to the extent of the coverage.  With ARC Network data can be used for watershed modelling.
