Attributes for MRB_E2RF1 Catchments by Major River Basins in the Conterminous United States: Physiographic Provinces
This tabular data set represents the area of each physiographic province (Fenneman and Johnson, 1946)
in square meters, compiled for every MRB_E2RF1 catchment of selected Major River Basins (MRBs,
Crawford and others, 2006). The source data are from Fenneman and Johnson's Physiographic Provinces
of the United States, which is based on 8 major divisions, 25 provinces, and 86 sections representing
distinctive areas having common topography, rock type and structure, and geologic and geomorphic
history (Fenneman and Johnson, 1946).
The MRB_E2RF1 catchments are based on a modified version of the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency's (USEPA) ERF1_2 and include enhancements to support national and regional-scale
surface-water quality modeling (Nolan and others, 2002; Brakebill and others, 2011).
Data were compiled for every MRB_E2RF1 catchment for the conterminous United States covering
New England and Mid-Atlantic (MRB1), South Atlantic-Gulf and Tennessee (MRB2), the Great Lakes,
Ohio, Upper Mississippi, and Souris-Red-Rainy (MRB3), the Missouri (MRB4), the Lower Mississippi,
Arkansas-White-Red, and Texas-Gulf (MRB5), the Rio Grande, Colorado, and the Great basin (MRB6),
the Pacific Northwest (MRB7) river basins, and California (MRB8).
