<DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><DIV><P><SPAN>Surface water bodies in Wyandotte County. A polygon feature dataset of natural lakes and ponds (ponds are considered small lakes) as well as reservoirs (artificial lakes such as stock ponds, real estate lakes, retention basins, and treatment lagoons). In ESRI GIS format in Kansas North State Plane NAD83, units feet, suitable for use at 1:2400 map scale or smaller. This dataset portrays all water bodies visible from aerial photography regardless of size in acres, excepting extremely small basins and ditches. No water elevation data is included. Water wells not included. Enclosed water reservoirs (tanks) not included.</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>There are several ways to filter water poly features using the data schema. Field Water_Type uses the NHD data categories adopted by Esri Community Maps Local Government model. Field Water_Class classifies water bodies according to a somewhat arbitrary scheme of Pond or Lake (for purposes of this dataset the area size threshold for lake was > 20 acres--therefore ponds are < 20 acres). There are a few exceptions to the water area class rule. Finally, the Name field contains name strings for a small number of county lakes that are known by name. These are generally the most prominent and well-known lakes and can be selected out accordingly.</SPAN></P></DIV></DIV></DIV> |
