Description:
Abstract:
The watershed_huc5 dataset describes watershed delineations on the Nez Perce National Forest. The delineations were completed in the early 1980s, well before the national inter-agency protocol for watershed delineations was developed. The delineations in this dataset are not consistent with the inter-agency protocol in three major ways: subwatersheds are smaller than allowed in the current protocol, subwatersheds and watersheds are often cut off at the forest boundary and do not include the parts of the watersheds below the forest boundary, and rivers were often used as boundaries for watershed boundaries.
Purpose:
The watershed dataset was developed to represent the watersheds used on the Nez Perce National Forest as units to assess watershed condition, model sediment yield, and for other assessment needs and to allow spatial analysis of these watersheds.

The Forest Service uses the most current and complete data available. GIS data and product accuracy may vary. They may be: developed from sources of differing accuracy, accurate only at certain scales, based on modeling or interpretation, incomplete while being created or revised, etc. Using GIS products for purposes other than those for which they were created, may yield inaccurate or misleading results. It is highly recommended that before any conclusions or analysis is processed using this data that the data be discussed with a resource specialist in the particular field. The Forest Service reserves the right to correct, update, modify, or replace, GIS products without notification.
