Use Constraints: This map coverage is to be used to determine NWIS hydrologic data site locations in Washington County, Utah.
ACCURACY of the location of an hydrologic data site, altitude, well depth, hole depth, and etc. VARIES AND IS NOT INCLUDED
HEREIN.
This coverage is for Washington County, Utah. Arc Info 'point' coverages are created and used to make an illustration showing
the hydrologic data sites for each county in the State of Utah. Each coverage is converted to the form of an Arc export file
represented by an .e00 extension. The names are given by county. The form is: ut_<county name>.e00. The coverages made with
latitude and longitude in decimal degrees. The USGS Water Resources Division Web Node keeps these files and distributes them
over the web. Steps to make these files: A. The NWIS database is queried and items extracted. B. The retrieved query items
are then made into ARC/INFO coverages. C. The ARC/INFO coverages are made into an Arc export file format with the extension
.e00. D. Export format files are sent to the USGS Web Node for distribution over the Internet. __________________________________________________________
