Brief Description:
This is a 1:24,000-scale datalayer that includes all of the hydrography features that appear on the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) 7½ minute topographic quadrangle maps that cover the State of Connecticut. It includes perenial and intermittent lakes, ponds, reservoirs, rivers, streams, marshes, dams, and drainage ditches. In digital form, the hydrography boundary information was derived from the USGS Digital Line Graph Files (DLG) for the 1:24,000 scale Connecticut quadrangle maps published between 1969 and 1984.
The USGS 7½ minute topographic quadrangle maps can be purchased at the DEP Store.
