BLM REA YKL 2011 Alaska Major Rivers

Selected major rivers were extracted from all rivers and streams in the USGS 1:2,000,000 Digital Line Graphs (DLG) dataset. The major rivers include the Copper, Susitna, Kuskokwim, Yukon, Koyukuk, Kobuk, Noatak, and Colville Rivers. Set these rivers to the hierarchy attribute to "1". To access the complete statewide DLG dataset, refer to the "Rivers, 1:2,000,000" metadata. New to this coverage is a second hierarchical level of streams. These streams were pulled from the 1995 navigability coverage. This coverage, however, does not represent which streams are considered navigable by the state. The second hierarchy was added for cartographic purposes only - to provide a more complete river drainage layer on statewide maps.
