Description:
Abstract:
Names and locations of physical and cultural features
located throughout the Sixes Watershed
Purpose:
The feature locations and names are meant to be used in GIS
analyses and applications and cartographic displays. The
names can be published on Federal maps, charts, and in
other documents
Supplemental Information:
Procedures_Used Obtained December 1996 GNIS CDROM from the
USGS. Selected those records that matched OREGON Exported
the records as a dbase file Used the dbaseinfo ARC/Info
command to make into an info file Separated out the
coordinates of the primary coordinates and used them to
generate a coverage Used the ARC/Info joinitem command to
join the info file with the coverage. Revisions
