National Hydrography Database
The National Hydrography Dataset (NHD) is a feature-based database that interconnects and uniquely identifies the stream segments or reaches that make up the nation's surface water drainage system. The following distance-based variables are derived from NHD stream and water body features.
| Variable | Metric | Units | Description | Source | Layers |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Distance to Stream | Distance to stream | m | This raster file represents the Euclidean distance to streams as per the National Hydrography Dataset (NHD). It provides a measure of the shortest straight-line distance from each raster cell to the nearest stream. | USGS NHD | |
| Distance to Water | Distance to water | m | This raster file illustrates the Euclidean distance to water bodies according to the National Hydrography Dataset (NHD). It provides a measure of the shortest straight-line distance from each raster cell to the nearest water body, including lakes, rivers, and streams. | USGS NHD |
