This map of the United States and its territories shows geographic extent of the first-ever nationally consistent hydrography data acquired from high-resolution 3D Elevation Program (3DEP) data. FY24 projects are the result of ongoing Federal coordination via the 3DHP Working Group and the Alaska Mapping Initiative.

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Watershed Boundary Dataset (WBD) is a national hydrologic unit (HU) geospatial dataset that defines surface drainage areas for the United States. This dataset provides a foundation for local, regional, and national applications to manage, archive, exchange, and analyze data by HU.
