About this layer
Waterways show the mapped routes of rivers, creeks and drainage lines. Follow their connections and compare them with terrain when researching how sediment moves. A mapped waterway may be dry or altered, and does not establish access.
What it is for
Follow drainage connections and compare them with terrain. Read the selected layer name and legend to distinguish feature types.
Limits
A mapped waterway may be dry, altered or difficult to cross. It does not establish access or permission to work in the waterway.
