Description

katmckee[CodePlex]
In the dropdown list of basemaps there is one hydrologically related one - ESRI HydroBasemap - that barely approximates the HUCs in my region. It does a pretty good job of hydrolines, areas, cities and roads for reference purposes.

Since this is a hydrologic desktop tool I strongly recommend the addition of HUC8 layer to the NorthAmerica project default... see
http://water.usgs.gov/GIS/huc.html

Also please add a smaller scale waterbodies/hydrolines to NorthAmerica project that could come into view when we are sub-national view. The world lakes and world rivers are irrelevant once you get down to a few states.

Can't wait til there is a scale ratio (e.g. 1:200,000) AND scale bar on the map...

thanks

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the NorthAmerica project configuration and the basemap dropdown, then investigate the requested USGS HUC8 and smaller-scale waterbody or hydroline sources. Done would require agreed scope and verified display of those layers at the intended map scales.
