Geospatial data and surface-water model archive for evaluation of streamflow extent and hydraulic characteristics of a restored channel at Soldier Meadows, Black Rock Desert - High Rock Canyon Emigrant Trails National Conservation Area, Nevada
This U.S. Geological Survey data release consists of a geospatial dataset containing information on estimated streamflow extent, stream velocity, and stream depth at Soldier Meadows Black Rock Desert - High Rock Canyon Emigrant Trails National Conservation Area, Nevada, and the data acquired and processed to support the estimation of those attributes. Supporting datasets include topographic survey data collected using a global navigation satellite system (GNSS) in Soldier Meadows from August 13-15, 2019, and an archive of the two-dimensional hydraulic model used to generate a polygon dataset for streamflow extent as well as raster datasets for stream velocity, and stream depth. The data release includes: 1) a polygon dataset of the filled and excavated channel locations (Channel_Modification_p.zip); 2) a digital elevation model (SoldierMeadows_TIN.zip) edited for proposed restoration work as a triangulated irregular network (TIN) in North American Vertical Datum of 1988; 3) a point dataset of 476 points (RTKSurvey_x.zip) collected using real-time kinematic GNSS surveys; 4) a point dataset of one static reference location (StaticGNSS_x.zip) collected using a single-baseline online positioning user service - static (OPUS-S) GNSS survey; 5) a raster dataset of the streamflow depth (SoldierMeadowsStreamflowDepth.zip); 6) a polygon dataset of the streamflow extent (SoldierMeadowsStreamflowExtent_p.zip); 7) a rater dataset of the streamflow velocity (SoldierMeadowsStreamflowVelocity.zip; 8) a zip file containing all relevant files to document and run the Hydrological Engineering Center-River Analysis System (HEC-RAS) two dimensional hydraulic model used to generate a polygon dataset of streamflow extent and raster datasets of stream velocity and stream depth (SWmodel_Archive.zip);

The Soldier Meadows spring complex provides habitat for the desert dace, an endemic and threatened fish. The spring complex has been altered with the construction of irrigation ditches that remove water from natural stream channels. Irrigation ditches generally provide lower quality habitat for the desert dace. Land and wildlife management agencies are interested in increasing habitat extent and qAuthorsChristopher M.
