Abstract

This resource contains Texas statewide hydrologic map data for about 100,000 NHD (National Hydrography Dataset) stream reaches and associated catchments & subwatersheds [1], covering 190,000 stream miles in Texas. Additional map layers include dams, FEMA floodplains and warning zones [2], stream gages [3], and National Weather Service River Forecast Points [4].

The USGS stream gages and NWS AHPS forecast points both have a URL field, which takes you to the authoritative webpage for each selected gage or forecast point.
