Give your maps a glow up! ✨ 

Plotting beautiful river maps has never been easier with the latest versions of nhdplusTools, dataRetrieval, and ggplot! 

Follow along in our new reproducible blog as we show you how to: 

Fetch river data around given coordinates, streamgages, or watersheds 

Use varying line widths for stream order to give rivers more style 

Add state boundaries and labels to provide a sense of place 

Add an inset map for context 

Label rivers with curved text following river path
