Waterbodies are hydrographic features only and do not represent islands or uplands. Features were collected from water areas represented on the US Geological Survey's 1:24,000-scale topographic map series such as perennial and intermittent streams, lakes, reservoirs etc. A large portion of the DNR's unique IDs for waterbodies (Waterbody Identification Codes - WBICs) have been incorporated into the 24K Hydro layer, along with surface water names from the USGS Geographic Names Information System (GNIS). Wetland delineations are NOT included in the 24K Hydro data layer.Visit https://www.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=cb1c7f75d14f42ee819a46894fd2e771 to download the entire 24k Hydro file geodatabase.
