Waterfalls linked to the National Hydrography Datasets

A new and more complete version of this dataset can be found at https://doi.org/10.5066/P9QQTKA0.  

This dataset contains information about waterfall location and characteristics. It also provides a linear reference to two National Hydrography Datasets. This dataset is based off the World Waterfall Database (WWD) and other source datasets. The coordinates and spatial attributes from the WWD were used to help verify locations in Google Earth. From there, the USGS HydroLink Tool was used to link data to both the NHDPlusV2.1 (1:100,000 scale) and NHD High Resolution Dataset (1:24,000 scale). This dataset currently includes waterfalls from the states of Indiana, Wisconsin, Michigan, Nebraska, Illinois and Missouri. Waterfalls from other states are planned to be added through time, see the status and update sections of the metadata for additional information.
