The StreamCat Dataset: Accumulated Attributes for NHDPlusV2 (Version 2.1) Catchments for the Conterminous United States: Surficial Lithology in Watershed.

Dataset Identification:

Resource Abstract:
description: This dataset represents the density of 18 USGS lithology classes within individual, local NHDPlusV2 catchments and upstream, contributing watersheds(see Data Sources for links to NHDPlusV2 data and USGS). Attributes were calculated for every local NHDPlusV2 catchment and then accumulated to provide watershed-level metrics for USGS lithology data. This data set is derived from the USGS raster map of 18 lithology classes (categorical data type) for the conterminous USA. The map was produced based on texture, internal structure, thickness, and environment of deposition or formation of materials. These 18 lithology classes were summarized by local catchment and by watershed to produce 18 local catchment-level and watershed-level metrics as a categorical data type (see Data Structure and Attribute Information for a description of each metric).; abstract: This dataset represents the density of 18 USGS lithology classes within individual, local NHDPlusV2 catchments and upstream, contributing watersheds(see Data Sources for links to NHDPlusV2 data and USGS).
