Description:
Derived from 1:250,000-scale USGS HUC 8 boundaries, this dataset represents topographic position indices for watershed stream zones the for the western USA. A weighted average was created for each HUC 8 watershed using approximate EMAP physical habitat substrate criteria. Null values represent sites where no stream was identified.
