STREAMNET GIS DATA

Downloadable GIS data layers are provided below as compressed shapefiles and include FGDC compliant metadata in xml format. Most of our data is tied to the 100K PNW Reach Files.  In these cases, the shapefile .dbf also serves as a linear or point event table.  GIS software is required to use these datasets.  If you do not have access to GIS software, our web based interactive mappers also provide access to these data via any standard web browser.  All data cover the extent of the U.S. Pacific Northwest (Washington, Idaho, Oregon, and Western Montana) unless otherwise noted under the file description.  All data is provided in the StreamNet Lambert Conformal Conic projection (NAD27).  Please consult the projection file as our Lambert projection is customized.

Disclaimer:  We encourage the use of these data for academic, research, and other professional and personal purposes.  Please thoroughly review the available metadata and original source documentation prior to interpreting these data and credit all sources appropriately.  It is the users responsibility to use these data consistent with their intended purpose and within stated limitations.  Please contact us with any questions you may have; we are willing to provide project level assitance in some cases.

  NHD/LLID Application (archived)

In 2001, an application was created for translating stream-based data between the National Hydrography Dataset (NHD) and the PNW LLID route system. This tool is now obsolete, but it has been archived and is available upon request. Visit the NHD Website for current NHD data and compatible tools
