  Description:  Stick Hydrography modified from RF-3
    Abstract:
                                                                                
   This data set contains most of the arcs from the River-Reach File version 3  
(RF-3) plus center lines of many of the water bodies in the RF-3.  The arcs     
that formed water bodies (including lakes, ponds, reservoirs, wide streams)     
were removed from this data set.  All the arcs in this data set point           
downstream.  This data set was produced to be used in the ANUDEM software       
version 4.4 in conjunction with other data sets to make a digital elevation     
model of Oklahoma.  This data set includes hydrography for all 8-digit          
hydrologic units (cataloging units) that include part of Oklahoma.

    Purpose:
                                                                                
   This data set was produced to be used in the ANUDEM software version 4.4     
in conjunction with other data sets to make a digital elevation model of        
Oklahoma.  The main purpose of this data set was to provide a downstream-       
directed drainage network for use by the drainage enforcement algorithm in      
ANUDEM.                                                                         
                                                                                
  Intended use of data                                                    
                                                                                
   This data set was produced to be used in the ANUDEM software version 4.4     
in conjunction with other data sets to make a digital elevation model of        
Oklahoma.  The data set was not intended to meet any other purpose, though it   
may be useful for applications needing a downstream-directed drainage network.  
                                                                                
    Supplemental_Information:
  Procedures used to create or automate data (Supplemental_Information)      
                                                                                
   This data set was derived from an early release of RF-3 data (Horn, 1986).   
The RF-3 data consists of hydrography derived from 1:100,000-scale USGS data    
in DLG format with additional attribute information divided by cataloging       
unit.  The process used to derive this data set was divided into 8 steps.       
                                                                                
STEP I:   Two ARC/INFO Macro Language (AML) programs were used to accomplish    
          this step which was completely automated.  The first program          
          identified the streams and water bodies not connected to an outlet,   
          removed them from the original data set, and made a separate data     
          set of them.  This data set will be referred to as the "isolated      
          arcs" data set.  The second program identified and removed polygons   
          from the original data set, and made separate data sets of the        
          polygons and non-polygon-forming arcs.                                
                                                                                
STEP II:  Other problems with polygons were corrected in this step.  Some of    
          the polygons were islands enclosed by at least one single-line        
          stream.  This occurred frequently in braided stream channels. To      
          maintain continuity of the hydrologic network, the arcs forming the   
          main channels were reinserted into the data set of non-polygon-       
          forming arcs.  Polygons that represented inundated areas or isolated  
          lakes were removed or replaced with center lines if of significant    
          size.  Polygons forming many water bodies were not fully closed.      
          Arcs were added to the data set to close these polygons.              
                                                                                
          Errors were discovered in three of the RF-3 data sets during this     
          step.  The first error was on the 1:100,000-scale Muskogee            
          quadrangle about 3.5 miles (5.6 km) northeast of Bald Hill.  An       
          unnamed tributary of Rock Creek and an unnamed tributary of Little    
          Cane Creek were incorrectly joined at their headwaters.  Because of   
          this error, all the arcs between the confluence of Cloud Creek with   
          the Arkansas River to the confluence of Snake Creek with the          
          Arkansas River formed a polygon.  The erroneous link was removed and  
          the remaining arcs were reinserted into the non-polygon-forming data  
          set.                                                                  
                                                                                
          The second error was that most of the southern part of the Grand      
          Lake O' the Cherokees was missing.  The missing area extended from    
          the southern end of the lake north to 36 degrees 33 minutes north     
          latitude.  Most of the tributaries and some of the coastline were     
          included but other parts were not.  The missing data were extracted   
          from the USGS 1:100,000 hydrography DLGs and inserted into the        
          polygon data set.                                                     
                                                                                
          The third error was that part of the North Canadian River was         
          missing from about 97 degrees west longitude to 95 degrees 45         
          minutes west longitude.  Only the main stem of the river was          
          missing.  The missing arcs were extracted from the USGS 1:100,000     
          hydrography DLGs and inserted into the polygon data set so center     
          lines could be generated.                                             
                                                                                
STEP III: The program used in this step generated a grid with a 60-meter cell   
          size from the polygon data set, using POLYGRID (ESRI, 1994) created   
          a data set of center lines from that grid using GRIDLINE (ESRI,       
          1994), and then combined the center-line data set with the data set   
          from the data set of non-polygon-forming arcs.                        
                                                                                
STEP IV:  Center lines for all the remaining double-line streams and lakes      
          were generated for the polygon data set resulting from STEP I using   
          the same procedure as in STEP III.  The process did not               
          automatically generate center lines for small water bodies so they    
          were added interactively using ARCEDIT.  Connections between          
          tributaries and center lines also were added in this step.  An AML    
          program was used in this step to identify the isolated arcs that      
          needed to be connected.                                               
                                                                                
STEP V:   Because the ANUDEM software requires all stream data to be pointing   
          downstream, an AML program was used to identify all connected arcs    
          that were pointing upstream and the ARCEDIT FLIP command was used to  
          reverse the "from" and "to" nodes so that all the arcs would point    
          downstream.                                                           
                                                                                
STEP VI:  In this step, all small lakes were removed from the data set of       
          isolated arcs made in STEP I.  Where necessary, the remaining arcs    
          were reversed using FLIP to point downstream.  This data set was      
          then combined with the data set from STEP V.                          
                                                                                
STEP VII: In this step, all the data sets were appended into one large data     
          set using the ARC/INFO command APPEND.  All arc attributes except     
          the standard ARC/INFO arc attributes were dropped during this         
          process.  Arcs that connected one cataloging unit to another          
          were snapped together.  The ARCPLOT command TRACE was used to assure  
          that all appropriate arcs were connected and to assure that all       
          connected arcs were pointing downstream.                              
                                                                                
STEP VIII:A problem with the RF-3 hydrography was discovered when the data set  
          was used to create a DEM.  The problem was that all the arcs within   
          the area covered by the 1:24,000 Anthon quadrangle had been shifted   
          approximately 1 kilometer to the west.  The incorrect hydrography     
          was removed and correct data were extracted from the 1:100,000 USGS   
          hydrography DLG and inserted into this data set.  An AML program was  
          then used to assure that all arcs were pointing downstream.

   This data set was derived from the Alpha version of the River Reach File     
version 3 which was derived from 1:100,000-scale USGS quadrangle maps.  Large   
water-body polygons have been replaced by center lines using a gridding         
technique with 60-meter cells.  An automated process was used to insure all     
the arcs connected to the main stream network point downstream.  Many smaller   
unconnected streams and water bodies were deleted.  Larger unconnected arcs     
were edited interactively to point downstream.  Quality assurance of this data  
set has not been extensive, however many errors became apparent when the data   
set was used in generating a DEM.  These errors have been corrected.  Several   
errors (mostly missing lines) were noticed after DEM generation.  These errors  
have not been corrected.  All attribute data have been removed.
