Attribute Name Description Data Type Width Precision Scale Alias Values - unrepresentable domain
OBJECTID
Internal feature number. (Source: ESRI)
OID 4 0 0 OBJECTID Sequential unique whole numbers that are automatically generated.
Shape
Feature geometry. (Source: ESRI)
Geometry 0 0 0 Shape Coordinates defining the features.
LLID
Unique whole stream route identifier (aka, 'LocationID') (Source: StreamNet)
String 13 0 0 LocationID ---
Name
Stream name as identified by contributed sources (Source: StreamNet)
String 100 0 0 Name ---
LengthFt
Length of stream in feet (integer) based on the projection system identified in the "MeasSrc" field. The value in this field was used during route creation to set the route length (to distance). (Source: StreamNet)
Double 8 0 0 LengthFt ---
TribID
LLID (LocationID) for the waterbody the stream flows into. In addition to identifying the unique LLID for a downstream or 'parent' route, values include an enumerated domain of descriptive codes. The name or description relating to the TribID is carried in the TribToName field (Source: StreamNet)
String 13 0 0 TribID ---
TribToName
Name of stream or waterbody the route flows into - this is determined based on the TribID field (Source: StreamNet)
String 60 0 0 TribToName ---
TribFt
Identifies the measured location of the confluence of the stream with its downstream parent. When the TribToID identifies a routed stream, this field carries the measure (in feet) that locates the point of confluence of this route with its downstream parent. This field is left blank if the stream does not flow into another routed feature. (Source: StreamNet)
Double 8 0 0 TribFt ---
LocSubTypeID
INTERNAL - As values in this field become more complete, subtype descriptions may be incorporated into the FEATURE field. Currently this is used internally to synch the GIS with StreamNet's tabular database. More work is necessary to accurately identify ditch/canal/pipeline features (Source: StreamNet)
Double 8 0 0 LocSubTypeID ---
PreviousName
Feature Level Metadata: Identifies a previously used name for the feature. As edits are made to this hydrography layer, watercourse names can and have changed. In these cases, the previous name used will be documented here and may be referenced to minimize confusion. (Source: StreamNet)
String 50 0 0 PreviousName ---
PrevMaxMeas
Feature Level Metadata: This field contains the previous length measure (in feet) associated with an LLID in cases where the LLID existed in the StreamNet database prior to adoption of the current hydrography. Field is useful for QA/QC but may be excluded in the published version of this dataset. (Source: StreamNet)
Double 8 0 0 PrevMaxMeas ---
MaxMeasDif
Feature Level Metadata: Values in this field represent the change in measure associated with an LLID. It was derived by subtracting the LengthFt value from the PrevMaxMeas value. This is useful for QC purposes to flag cases when a significant change in route length occured. Where this is the case, see the GISNote field for a description / explanation of what caused the change in length. Where the LLID is new to the StreamNet database, this field will be null. Field will be excluded in the published version of this dataset. (Source: StreamNet)
Double 8 0 0 MaxMeasDif ---
GeomSrc
Feature Level Metadata: Identifies the geometry (linework) source used to define the given feature / route. (Source: StreamNet)
String 20 0 0 GeomSrc ---
MeasSrc
Feature Level Metadata: Identifies the feature's measurement source used to define the given routes measure system (Source: StreamNet)
String 50 0 0 MeasSrc ---
LLIDSrc
Feature Level Metadata: Identifies the origin of the feature's assigned LLID (Source: StreamNet)
String 50 0 0 LLIDSrc ---
Scale
Feature Level Metadata: Identifies the feature's souce scale (Source: StreamNet)
String 10 0 0 Scale ---
GISHook
Feature Level Metadata: Used by GIS staff to categorize features for QA/QC. Field will be excluded from the published version of this dataset. A layer file is available to help StreamNet Staff use this field (Hydrort_MSHv1_GISHook.lyr). Field will be excluded in the published version of this dataset. (Source: StreamNet)
Integer 4 0 0 GISHook ---
