USGS On the Road — Choptank River Water Quality Sampling
On a fair sunny day in March, hydrologic technician Michael Brownley makes his way up the metal rung ladder to a platform. From there he beards a cableway, no bigger than a twin-sized bed. Luckily, he’s the only one aboard the cableway, space is tight as it is.

Sleepers River Watershed
This snow-covered streamgage is situated in Sleepers River Research Watershed – a site of hydrologic research for 65 years. Completely secluded, USGS staff trek about a mile into the woods to the Pope Brook streamgage in Danville, Vermont, once a week to collect data. In the winter, that often means wearing snowshoes or cross-country skis over deep snow!

Lesson 5: Using The National Map Web Services in ArcMap
In this lesson, we will provide an overview and demonstrate how to use The National Map’s web services in a mapping application. Although downloading data from The National Map is a popular option for many users, there are numerous situations where it may be preferable to simply call TNM web services into your mapping application.
