The four sectionals (10,11,12, and 15) from DLG-HP covering the Continental Divide were used as references to determine which drainage boundaries to select from ATLAS-HUC. The selected arcs were put into a new file, which was then converted to shapefile format. withheld withheld 200112 Vector Simple FALSE 11 TRUE FALSE North American Datum of 1983 GRS1980 6378137 298.257222 GCS_North_American_1983 Explicit elevation coordinate included with horizontal coordinates 0.000122 Continental Divide (described by condivl020.dbf) The divide that runs along the crest of the Rocky Mountains, dividing the waters flowing into the Atlantic Ocean from those flowing into the Pacific Ocean.
