Each drainage area is considered a Hydrologic Unit (HU) and is given a Hydrologic Unit Code (HUC) which serves as the unique identifier for the area. HUC 2s, 6s, 8s, 10s, & 12s, define the drainage Regions, Subregions, Basins, Subbasins, Watersheds and Subwatersheds, respectively, across the United States. Their boundaries are defined by hydrologic and topographic criteria that delineate an area of land upstream from a specific point on a river and are determined solely upon science based hydrologic principles, not favoring any administrative boundaries, special projects, or a particular program or agency. The Watershed Boundary Dataset is delineated and georeferenced to the USGS 1:24,000 scale topographic basemap.Hydrologic Units are delineated to nest in a multi-level, hierarchical drainage system with corresponding HUCs, so that as you move from small scale to large scale the HUC digits increase in increments of two. For example, the very largest HUCs have 2 digits, and thus are referred to as HUC 2s, and the very smallest HUCs have 12 digits, and thus are referred to as HUC 12s.Dataset SummaryPhenomenon Mapped: Watersheds in the United States, as delineated by the Watershed Boundary Dataset (WBD)Geographic Extent: Contiguous United States, Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, Guam, US Virgin Islands, Northern Marianas Islands and American SamoaProjection: Web MercatorUpdate Frequency: AnnualVisible Scale: Visible at all scales, however USGS recommends this dataset should not be used for scales of 1:24,000 or larger.Source: United States Geological Survey (WBD)Data Vintage: January 7, 2025What can you do with this layer?This layer is suitable for both visualization and analysis acrossthe ArcGIS system.

This dynamic imagery layer features Landsat 8 and Landsat GLS imagery for use in visualization and analysis. This layer is time enabled and includes a number of band combinations and indices rendered on demand. The imagery includes eight multispectral bands from the Operational Land Imager (OLI) and two bands from the Thermal Infrared Sensor (TIRS). It is updated daily with new imagery directly sourced from the USGS Landsat collection on AWS.To view this imagery layer, you'll want to add it to a map that is using the Polar projection of WGS_1984_EPSG_Alaska_Polar_Stereographic, for example the Arctic Ocean Basemap or the Arctic Imagery basemap. Other polar projections may be used within their useful limits. There is no imagery above 82°30’N due to the orbit of the satellite.Geographic CoverageArctic RegionTemporal CoverageThis layer is updated daily with new imagery.Landsat 8 revisits each point on Earth's land surface every 16 days.Most images collected from January 2015 to present are included.Approximately 5 images for each path/row from 2013 and 2014 are also included.This layer also includes imagery from the Global Land Survey* (circa 2010, 2005, 2000, 1990, 1975).Product LevelThe Landsat 8 imagery in this layer is comprised of Collection 2 Level-1 data.The imagery has Top of Atmosphere (TOA) correction applied.TOA is applied using the radiometric rescaling coefficients provided the USGS.The TOA reflectance values (ranging 0 – 1 by default) are scaled using a range of 0 – 10,000.Image Selection/FilteringA number of fields are available for filtering, including Acquisition Date, Estimated Cloud Cover, and Product ID.To isolate and work with specific images, either use the ‘Image Filter’ to create custom layers or add a ‘Query Filter’ to restrict the default layer display to a specified image or group of images.Visual RenderingDefault rendering is Natural Color (bands 4,3,2) with Dynamic Range Adjustment (DRA).Raster Functions enable on-the-fly rendering of band combinations and calculated indices from the source imagery.The DRA version of each layer enables visualization of the full dynamic range of the images.This layer is part of a larger collection of Landsat Imagery Layers that you can use to perform a variety of mapping analysis tasks.Other pre-defined Raster Functions can be selected via the renderer drop-down or custom functions can be created. Available functions on this layer include:Agriculture with DRA – Bands shortwave IR-1, near-IR, blue (6, 5, 2) with dynamic range adjustment applied on apparent reflectance. Vigorous vegetation is bright green, stressed vegetation dull green and bare areas as brown.NDSI Colorized – Normalized difference Snow index (NDSI) with color map, computed as (b3-b6)/(b3+b6) on apparent reflectance. Dark blue represents dense snow, yellow and green areas represent clouds.Bathymetric with DRA – Bands red, green, coastal/aerosol (4, 3, 1) with dynamic range adjustment. Useful in bathymetric mapping applications.Color Infrared with DRA – Bands near-IR, red, green (5, 4, 3) with dynamic range adjustment.

Each drainage area is considered a Hydrologic Unit (HU) and is given a Hydrologic Unit Code (HUC) which serves as the unique identifier for the area. HUC 2s, 6s, 8s, 10s, & 12s, define the drainage Regions, Subregions, Basins, Subbasins, Watersheds and Subwatersheds, respectively, across the United States. Their boundaries are defined by hydrologic and topographic criteria that delineate an area of land upstream from a specific point on a river and are determined solely upon science based hydrologic principles, not favoring any administrative boundaries, special projects, or a particular program or agency. The Watershed Boundary Dataset is delineated and georeferenced to the USGS 1:24,000 scale topographic basemap.Hydrologic Units are delineated to nest in a multi-level, hierarchical drainage system with corresponding HUCs, so that as you move from small scale to large scale the HUC digits increase in increments of two. For example, the very largest HUCs have 2 digits, and thus are referred to as HUC 2s, and the very smallest HUCs have 12 digits, and thus are referred to as HUC 12s.Dataset SummaryPhenomenon Mapped: Watersheds in the United States, as delineated by the Watershed Boundary Dataset (WBD)Geographic Extent: Contiguous United States, Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, Guam, US Virgin Islands, Northern Marianas Islands and American SamoaProjection: Web MercatorUpdate Frequency: AnnualVisible Scale: Visible at all scales, however USGS recommends this dataset should not be used for scales of 1:24,000 or larger.Source: United States Geological Survey (WBD)Data Vintage: January 7, 2025What can you do with this layer?This layer is suitable for both visualization and analysis acrossthe ArcGIS system.
