Description Abstract State and 8 digit hydrologic unit boundaries for Hawaii. Purpose This coverage is intended as a basemap for national level analysis. Supplemental_Information Procedures_Used This coverage contains the 8 digit hydrologic unit boundaries for Hawaii. The coverage was downloaded by Iowa State University from USGS (http://water.usgs.gov/lookup/getspatial?huc250k). NRCS clipped the coverage to a shoreline created by the National Center for Resource Innovations (NCRI). NCRI derived the shoreline from 1:2,000,000 scale USGS Digital Line Graph (DLG) files. This was joined with state boundaries using UNION. State boundaries where derived from a county coverage using RECLASS. Islands were removed from this coverage to optimize its use for dot density maps. Revisions This coverage was last updated in 2001. Reviews_Applied_to_Data This coverage has received no formal review. Related_Spatial_and_Tabular_Data_Sets Other NRI Map Room basemap coverages include counties and Federal lands, derived from USGS coverages, and a Major Land Resource Areas (MLRA) coverage derived from the MLRA map in Agricultural Handbook 296. These are intended to have the same shoreline and outer boundaries, although this has not been thoroughly verified.
