Flag of United States Part of United States mapping project.

The National Hydrography Dataset (NHD) is a United States-wide hydrography dataset suitable for import into OpenStreetMap.

This page details the process, progress, and mapping as the dataset is imported.

Process

Python scripts for converting the shape files can be found at http://svn.openstreetmap.org/applications/utils/import/nhd2osm/

Obtain High Resolution shapefiles from the NHD web site by using the NHD Viewer. Read the "How to extract" instruction on the left, pop-ups must be enabled for the site.

Geo Extract Options


Mapping

All Geometry
SHP Key OSM Tag(s) Description
ComID nhd-shp:com_id Common ID. Unique to all of NHD data.
FDate nhd-shp:fdate Capture date.
GNIS_ID gnis:id USGS Geographic Names Information System feature identifier.
Elevation ele Feature elevation. Not used very often.

The NHD data comes in shapefiles, but most information is built into the single "FCode" field. The below describes a possible mapping.

Flowline (NHDFlowline.shp, LineString)
FType FCode OSM Tag(s) Description
ArtificialPath 55800 name:-, waterway:river Artificial paths are usually used to indicate the centerlines for rivers that are wide enough to designate with an multipolygon.
CanalDitch 33600 waterway:canal; some may need to be hand-edited to waterway:drain A canal or ditch (usually with a concrete or earthen surround).
Connector 33400 ??? "A known, but nonspecific connection between two nonadjacent network segments" [1]
StreamRiver 46003 waterway:stream? Intermittent streams.
StreamRiver 46006 waterway:river Permanent/perennial rivers.
Areas (NHDArea.shp, MultiPolygon)
FType FCode OSM Tag(s) Description
StreamRiver 46006 waterway:riverbank The polygon riverbank for a river that should be drawn wider than a line. This polygon will surround a line of code 55800 with the river's name.
Water Bodies (NHDWaterbody.shp, MultiPolygon)
FType FCode OSM Tag(s) Description
BayInlet 31200 natural:bay, might need to be natural:coastline Bay or inlet.
LakePond 39001 natural:water, occurrence:intermittent?? Intermittently visible lake/pond.
LakePond 39004 natural:water More permanently visible lake/pond.
Reservoir 43612 man_made:wastewater_plant Sewage treatment pond.
SwampMarsh 46600 natural:wetland A generic swamp/marsh area.

Basins and per-basin sign-ups

HUC_2 regions

The following tables list the 347 basins in the lower-48, with links to the approximate center of the basins on The Map, and a column to sign up on a per-basin basis. Todo: how to handle partial-basin signups.
