Description:
This polygon vector dataset represents over 18,0000 derived watersheds associated with meadows listed in the Sierra Nevada Meadows Compilation (version 2.0). The watershed polygons are attributed with geology, landform, and fire recurrence interval departure information thought to potentially influence the hydrology of meadows.
