This should be used as a companion to the LSRS data. Enacted in 1968, the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act preserves certain rivers in a natural, free-flowing condition for the enjoyment of present and future generations. To be designated, it must be shown that a river is both eligible and suitable. To be eligible, a river must be free-flowing, have good water quality, and have at least one value that is important or unique to the region or nation. To be suitable, a river must have proper designation support. This feature class spatially represents eligible, eligible/suitable, eligible/not suitable, and ineligible river segments found in wild and scenic river studies performed by the Forest Service, National Park Service, Bureau of Land Management, Fish and Wildlife Service. These studies were performed on rivers on both public and private land, including NPS land. The spatial data was derived from river segments from the National Hydrography Dataset (NHD), a feature-based database that interconnects and uniquely identifies the stream segments or reaches that make up the nation's surface water drainage system at a 1:24,000 scale. This feature class also includes information about the outstandingly remarkable values of each segment.

Future updates to this geodatabase should utilize the National Park Service Water Resource Division methodology in determining river miles in parks. Current entries have not been evaluated. Future updates should utilize the National Park Service Water Resource Division methodology in determining river miles in parks. Evaluation methods for this methodology can be found in the metadata for the National Park Service Hydrographic & Impairment Statistics database. Checked that line segments do not overlap and whether vertices meet leaving no gaps. Some inconsistencies may exist.
