GIS Digital Datasets in GEORGIA in support of River Basin Management Planning

In cooperation with Georgia Department of Natural Resources

The data sets provided on these pages were developed to support current State of Georgia, River Basin Management Planning by the Georgia Department of Natural Resource, Environmental Protection Division in cooperation with the U.S. Geological Survey. The data are arranged by major basin and hydrologic unit. The digital map data will be useful to the general public, private industry, schools, and government agencies. The data include: Towns and Cities, County Boundaries, Detailed Hydrologic Units, Level-I Landuse/Landcover, Major Roads, River Reach, Roads, Surface Water Intakes (available upon written request, only), Hydrography, Surface Water Monitoring Stations, 1:100,000-scale Digital Raster Graphic (topographic maps), Land Application Sites, National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Sites (available upon written request, only), Solid Waste Landfills, Stream Water Quality Assessment 305(b) Stream Reaches and 305(b) Lakes.

After selecting a River Basin, below, you will be given the option to choose an 8-digit hydrologic unit (watershed). These watershed files contain a "zipped" dataset, metadata and an ArcExplorer (C) ESRI project (see example). Once unzipped, this project file (.aep extension) and data can be viewed using ArcExplorer..
