Data set name:
U.S. Streams

Description:
The U.S. Streams data layer is an Environmental Systems Research Institute 
(ESRI) shapefile that depicts small to medium size streams.  The data were 
extracted from the standard Geographic Data Technology line water layer and 
includes only Fcc codes H10 and H11.  These line segments were chained and 
thinned to serve as a reference cartographic layer.  Many of the cartographic 
problems with these data inherent in the original 1:100,000 source data remain, 
however for small areas they make a nice cartographic addition to many base 
maps.

Fields:
Name -- Name of the stream feature. (String)
Fcc -- The Feature Classification Code of the water feature.(String)
