| Abstract | This layer shows legally designated trout streams and trout stream tributaries as identified in Minnesota Rules Chapter 6264. See http://www.revisor.leg.state.mn.us/arule/6264/0050.html for legal descriptions and restrictions associated with designated trout waters. This data layer is a subset of the DNR 24K streams layer, a statewide streams-hydrography data set cooperatively developed amongst many units of government within Minnesota. |
| Use Tips | This data set includes designated trout streams and their protected tributaries only. It is a subset of the DNR 24K streams layer. Users are encouraged to use the full resolution DNR 24K streams layer as a base layer to visualize all streams (designated and not) to fully understand hydrological connectivity and impacts to trout resources. |

| Attribute Accuracy | ||||
| Logical Consistency | ||||
| Completeness | Data are completed for designated trout streams and protected tributaries statewide. However, this layer is still under review and subject to future revision. | |||
| Horizontal Positional Accuracy | Source layer dnrstln3: Horizontal positional accuracy is highly variable. Rectilinear features are probably accurate to 55 feet (based on estimated production errors and a mean sum square estimation). Feature representation of sinuous streams is especially variable, with accuracies in the 55 foot range present in some areas, and non-systematic offsets (especially as coarse generalizations) present in other areas of up to 150 feet. Quality typically varies along 7 1/2 quandrangle borders, with the most significant and consistent offsets observed in the northeastern portion of the state, and the best representations found in Southern Minnesota. | |||

Not implemented KITTLE_NO: DNR Kittle Number (Fisheries stream identifier). Currently implemented on a limited basis on this layer. KITTNAME: DNR Kittle Watercourse Name (Fisheries stream name). If an alternate name exists, only one is specified here. Currently implemented on a limited basis on this layer. PROD_SRC: Source organization for production work PROD_PER: Year production work was done by source organization (see Prod_src); [range 1996-current year] STRM_BRK: Arc break code, for DNR Waters Lakeshed Delineation Project. PWI_FLAG: Denotes whether a stream segment is a protected watercourse as designated by Protected Waters Inventory. |
