Supplemental information

      The 8 digit hydrologic unit codes map from USGS was used to select the rivers bounding the basins, for a 1:24,000 scale representation of the basins. This was clipped using the Texas Outline coverage in the TPWD GIS Lab. References_Cited 878-A: A U. S. Geological Survey Data Standard.
