Description:
Abstract:
This data is a graphical representation of New Jersey's State Rivers that are third order or higher. These rivers were reselected from each county's stream data. The original map source is the USGS 1:24,000 hydrography digital line graph (DLG) files.
Purpose: This data was created in order to provide a graphical representation of statewide rivers, third order or higher and to also be a valuable layer for computerized cartographic products.

Attribute Accuracy:
Attribute Accuracy Report: Frequencies run to check for valid attributes. Visual inspection of proof plots.
Logical Consistency Report: Data has been systematically plotted on mylar and checked to basemap. Node errors, label errors and slivers resolved. Features are within 80 feet or better from locations on the 1986 photoquads.
Completeness Report: Linework complete, additional database items may be added.
Positional Accuracy:
Horizontal Positional Accuracy:
Horizontal Positional Accuracy Report: Basemap (photoquad) feature positions are good to about +/- 60 feet or better. Delineated lines are generally good to about +/- 50 feet from locations on manuscript.

Process Description:
Line work was updated using the 1986 orthophoto quads. Several quad coverages had to be generated in-house (from orthophotos) including: Marmora, New Gretna, Oceanville, Tuckerton, and Point Pleasant. These in-house generated quads display less detail in the coastal areas.

Attribute:
Attribute Label: DIRECTION
Attribute Definition:
USNS stream direction: Odd tens digit means tributary enters lower level stream from the left (as you head up-stream), even tens digit from the right. In cases where the units digit is not zero, the units digit supercedes the tens digit.

Attribute Label: NUMBER
Attribute Definition:
USNS stream number: 5 digit stream index number. Numbering system begins at the mouth of a major stream (example:: Delaware River is 57000 and level 1). The first tributary entering the Delaware (moving up-stream) is given the next highest stream number (usually incremented by 8, example: Pond Creek is 57008, level 2, direction 20). If there are level 3 tributaries that enter the level 2, the first is given the next stream number. If there are any level 4 tributaries that enter the level 3, the first is given the next stream number.
