<DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><DIV><P STYLE="margin:0 0 7 0;"><SPAN>This polyline feature class depicts the classification each Wild and Scenic River Active Study Riversegment. This GIS data layer was created from by multi-agency effort by the National Park Service and US Forest Service. The spatial data were referenced to the latest High Resolution National Hydrological Data Layer (NHD 1:24,000 Scale or better), published by United States Geological Survey (USGS)."Wild" rivers are free of dams, generally inaccessible except by trail, and represent vestiges of primitive America. "Scenic" rivers are free of dams, with shorelines or watersheds still largely primitive and shorelines largely undeveloped, but accessible in places by roads. ?Recreational? rivers are readily accessible by road or railroad, may have some development along their shorelines, and may have been dammed in the past. Although 208 rivers are currently designated by Congress as part of the National Wild and Scenic River System, thousands more rivers and their associated segments were studied for designation. Agencies are responsible for protecting rivers identified as eligible or suitable for inclusion in the National Wild and Scenic River System. This tool will help agencies fulfil their management responsibilities and for the public to understand which rivers have been studied. </SPAN></P></DIV></DIV></DIV> |
