Title:

Isolated Headwater Populations of Potamodromous Cutthroat Trout in Western Oregon - 1999 Survey

Geospatial_Data_Presentation_Form: vector digital data

Description:

Abstract:

This data set is an ArcInfo line coverage representing the locations of stream surveys for habitat of isolated coastal cutthroat trout in selected headwater basins. The study sites are in the Coast and Cascade Ranges of western Oregon. Data are in the UTM coordinate system (zone 10) and NAD27.

Purpose:

These data were collected to explore the effects of stream habitat and watershed characteristics on the distribution and abundance of coastal cutthroat trout across western Oregon.

Analysis Subbasins for Coastal Cutthroat Trout Distribution Study in Western Oregon 1999

Geospatial_Data_Presentation_Form: vector digital data

Data_Quality_Information:

Attribute_Accuracy:

Attribute_Accuracy_Report:

Stream network data were carefully compared with field maps and USGS Digital Raster Graphics. Once dynamic segmentation was completed on the stream network, the ratio of measured stream survey distance to arc length was calculated. Stream segments with ratios that fell outside an acceptable range (1.3 -0.7) were examined for data errors and the routes adjusted.

Logical_Consistency_Report:

This data set is a routed ArcInfo line coverage built for line topology. Stream routes were calibrated to known survey locations and attributes attached through the process of dynamic segmentation based on survey distance.

Completeness_Report:

Streams for sampling were selected randomly from the stratified population of headwater basins described in "Western Oregon Coastal Cutthroat Trout Headwater Basins" (see cross reference). Only "3rd-order" headwater basins were considered. Within each study area only the portion of the stream network that was surveyed was processed for inclusion in this data set.

Positional_Accuracy:

Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy:

Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report:

Sources of stream line work are assumed to meet national map accuracy standards. No additional test for positional accuracy were performed.

This data set provided the measures for dynamic segmentation of the stream network. The cumulative length of hydrologic units was the basis of the attachment for field data to the stream line work.

Process_Step:

Process_Description:

In ArcView streams from third order basins of interest were selected and converted to shapefiles - Hydro_shp.

Hydro_shp was converted to an arc info coverage (Hydro_cov) using the SHAPEARC command .

Process_Date: 200003

Process_Step:

Process_Description:

Hydro_cov was edited to include only extent of stream survey (Hydro_survey) as determined by USGS topographic field maps. Unnessary nodes were eliminated using the UNSPLIT command.

Process_Date: 200003

Process_Step:

Process_Description:

ArcInfo feature class routes were created for the main stem and each tributary in Hydro_survey using the MAKEROUTES command. Errors were corrected using the REMEASURE command.

Process_Date: 200003

Process_Step:

Process_Description:

A point file (Point_cov) was created to mark the start of the survey and the ends of the survey as well as tributary junctions. Cumulative stream lengths were assigned from field data (Cutstudy_field99) to the corresponding point.

Source_Used_Citation_Abbreviation: Cutstudy_field99

Process_Date: 200003

Process_Step:

Process_Description:

The route lengths in Hydro_survey were calibrated to the field survey data using Point_cov and the CALIBRATEROUTES command.

Process_Date: 200003

Process_Step:

Process_Description:

Hydro_survey was converted to Survey_cov using the EVENTARC command.

Process_Date: 200003

Process_Step:

Process_Description:

Survey_cov from all study sites were merged into Dynseg99_shp using the ArcView Geoprocessing Wizard and converted to an ArcInfo coverage (Dynseg99) using SHAPEARC. Projection information was added using PROJECTDEFINE.
