    • Maine Lidar-Derived Watersheds

    Metadata Updated: October 28, 2023

    Lidar Digital Elevation Models (DEMs) at 2-meter resolution have been used to derive watershed boundaries for the State of Maine. Geographic Information Systems (GIS) software was used to hydrologically enforce lidar DEMs and delineate watershed boundaries at pre-existing pour point locations (Price, 2016). The watershed boundaries are comparable in size to the 12-digit Hydrologic Unit catchments and have a 12-digit Hydrologic Unit Code (HUC12) identifier attribute field that has a one-to-one match with the national WBD dataset (https://www.usgs.gov/national-hydrography/watershed-boundary-dataset). This data release consists of a zip file containing an ESRI polygon shapefile (vector GIS dataset). This work was conducted in cooperation with Maine Department of Transportation and Maine Office of GIS.
