BC WATERSHED ATLAS (1:50K)
The BC WATERSHED DICTIONARY consists of multiple datasets. The BC WATERSHED DICTIONARY 50K is one of these datasets and is derived from the BC WATERSHED ATLAS 50K which is the digital basemap representation of the aquatic features depicted on NTS 1:50,000 scale Map Sheets. This spatial component of the BC WATERSHED DICTIONARY 50K is described below. The feature types, annotation, point, line and polygon are used to represent stream centreline networks, streams, double-line rivers, lakes, wetlands, obstructions, coastlines, provincial boundaries, watershed boundaries of 3rd order and higher. The feature type route is used to represent each river or stream channel as a single line with definite start and stop end points. Each route is defined by a linear-measure which is used to map aquatic features.
