GIS Tools --

For Spatially Locating Stream Survey Data

Downloads

This section of the FHR Website, Data Analysis, serves as an introduction to the GIS tools available to use with stream survey data.  ArcView techniques that are useful to display and query stream survey information are illustrated.  Aquatic information will be stored in NRIS Water in the near future.  Legacy stream survey data will be migrated to NRIS Water after data cleanup and spatial location of stream survey reaches in GIS.  As an intermediary step, procedures to create event tables and locate stream reaches and monitoring points along stream routes will be displayed here.

• Step-by-Step Process for Developing Event Tables

• PowerPoint graphics derived from a GIS theme in ArcView

• Creating habitat unit mapping on your own

To get started with your own Forest or District stream survey data, you will need a routed stream coverage and some stream survey data in a spreadsheet.  Start with a smaller data set parsed from a stream survey and attempt to place it in ArcView as an event table.  The Pacific Northwest Region incorporates these ArcView techniques into the Data Interpretation module.  NRIS Water will use similar ArcView files to link stream reaches/points along a stream route with data in data tables.  To flex the capabilities of this spatially-located stream survey data the techniques and examples shown here will be useful.
