Description
Abstract:
Watershed boundaries defined for water quality sampling and watershed assessment
lower kenai peninsula salmon streams. The boundaries were heads up digitized
using 1:25,000 USGS topo map *.tif files as underlays where available, and 1:63,360
quads where the 1:25,000 are not published
Purpose:
to a show a generlized watershed boundary of Anchor river based on 1:25,000 topographic maps

Attribute_Accuracy
Attribute_Accuracy_Report: Digitized heads up at a scale of around 1:9000 in an ArcView View,
Attributes are as accurate as can be determined from topographic lines on the 1:25,000 quads.
Logical_Consistency_Report: Originally digitized as a multi-part line theme, the vector ends were then snapped
Manually, using 0.01 mile software set general snapping radius. All lines were then merged, no dangling
Nodes or overlaps should exist.
Completeness_Report:
will be updated as better information (site visits or aerial photographic interpretation)
Positional_Accuracy
Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy
Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report:
watershed boundaries are difficult to determine accurately due to the nature of groundwater flow.
boundary lines are drawn according to the contour lines present on 1:25,000 USGS topographic maps.
These boundaries are most distinct on steep ground, and less distinct, or even conjectural on more level ground.

Process_Step After lines were unioned as described under Logical consistency report, the polyline theme was
converted to a polygon theme using the ArcView Avenue sample script: cvtplply.ave
The boundary of this watershed that coincides with the Beluga Lake/slough,the Woodward creek and the Diamond Creek watersheds was later edited (using the vertex edit tool in ArcView) to match the boundaries of those watersheds. Those boundaries were determined using stereoscopic quarter quarter quad centered 1:24,000 photo pairs. If these themes are used together expect small sliver polygons along areas of overlap and regard the boundaries of Beluga/Woodward/Diamond to be more accurate. Another edit is planned to rectify these gaps and slivers.
