Originator:
Rr_mainstem.shp was created by Circuit Rider Productions, Inc. from the California, statewide hydrography layer (hydrarca coverage). This metadata file incorporates information that is specific to this layer as well as information that is available in the original metadata file for the hydrography layer (hydrogra.meta). The portions of this metadata file that borrow text from hydrogra.meta are indicated in quotation marks.

Description:
Abstract: Rr_mainstem is an ESRI shapefile that describes the mainstem of the Russian River. This .shp file is the result of querying the PNAME attribute field of the California, statewide hydrography layer (hydrarca coverage). Hydrarca coverage is a product of efforts from agencies such as the California Department of Fish and Game, institutions such as UCDavis and has been made available thorugh the former Stephen P. Teale data library. Records described as composing the mainstem of the Russian River were selected from hydrarca coverage and converted to a new .shp file (rr_mainstem). The resulting file is linework which illustrates the spatial extent of the mainstem of the Russian River and consequentially, does not include the many tributaries to the Russian River.
Purpose:
The intended purpose of this dataset is to assist in watershed planning and analysis.
Supplemental Information:
Coverage description of hydrarc.shp from the hydrogra.txt metadata file.
"The hydrography layer consists of flowing waters (rivers and streams), standing waters (lakes and ponds), and wetlands -- both natural and manmade.
Two separate feature types are represented: polygons (areas) and lines. Polygon features have attribute codes that identify water bodies such as lakes, wide river segments, or swamps. Line features have attribute codes that represent streams or shorelines.

The hydrography layer was assembled from data originally published by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) in Digital Line Graph (DLG-3) format. DLG-3 data were generated by USGS from 1:100,000-scale maps by manual digitizing and raster scanning. Approximately 3200 original USGS DLG files were processed by Teale to create the statewide hydrography data layer."

Entity_Type:
Entity_Type_Label: rr_mainstem
Attribute:
Attribute_Label: FID
Attribute_Definition: Internal feature number.
Attribute_Definition_Source: ESRI
Attribute_Domain_Values:
Unrepresentable_Domain:
Sequential unique whole numbers that are automatically generated.
Attribute:
Attribute_Label: Shape
Attribute_Definition: Feature geometry.
Attribute_Definition_Source: ESRI
Attribute_Domain_Values:
Unrepresentable_Domain: Coordinates defining the features.
" FNODE# : The id number of the node feature that represents
the beginning point (the From NODE) of the arc.

TNODE# : The id number of the node feature that represents
the ending point (To NODE) of the arc.

LPOLY# : The <coverage name># id of the polygon that lies to the
left of this arc when facing in the direction of the
TNODE.

This is blank if there is no polygon topology.


RPOLY# : The <coverage name># id of the polygon that lies to the
right of this arc when facing in the direction of the
TNODE.

This is blank if there is no polygon topology.

LENGTH : The length of the arc in coverage units.

<xx>JHYSA# : The software-assigned unique integer identification
number.

<xx>JHYSA-ID : A user-assigned identifier number.
Where <xx>JHYSA-ID is negative (-ID < 0), arc is an
artificial neat line (coverage or tile boundary).

MAJOR[1 - 5]: See below.

MINOR[1 - 5]: See below.

FLOW: If equal to 1, flow direction is defined; if equal
to 0, no direction is defined.

TDCKEY: Concatenates HSCKEY + HYSNUM to form a primary key for
all hydro features statewide; links hydrography features
in .AAT to US EPA River Reach File (RF3) records in DS3.

DCU: Item inserted by DFG into Teale AAT; was derived from DFG-refined
Cataloging Unit (CU) boundaries for use with USGS 1:100K hydrography.
Coverage in development "hucdfg1d" was used to resolve cases where
more than one RF3RCHID related to a single Teale feature. Unresolved
CU boundaries still exist in vicinity of Central Valley and Delta.
Expect minor changes to DCU as CU boundaries are refined and
standardized.

PNAME: Primary Name of water feature (see Appendix A for details).

PNMCD: Primary Name Code of water feataure (see Appendix A for details).

STATECODE: Identifies feature location: 1 - completely within CA state
boundary, 2 - outside of CA or 3 - partially with CA. This
is useful for reselecting to get just the state for cartographic
purposes.

HSCKEY: Unique number for each hydrographic feature within a single
tile. Ranges from 1 to over 20,000 in some tiles. Item was
created for RF3 use. Concatenated with HYSNUM to create TDCKEY.

HYSNUM: Hydrography tile sequence number, ranges from 1 to 33.
Item was created for RF3 use.
Concatenated to HSCKEY to produce TDCKEY.

MAJOR1-5: Major codes denote hydrography (code 50) as the major
feature category to which a line element belongs (as
opposed to property boundaries, roads, etc within DLGs).

MINOR1-5: Minor codes assign up to five descriptive subcategories
to any single hydrography line element.
