Counties Land and Water

The County Digital Geography is a digital spatial framework developed using geographic information system (GIS) technology. It is derived from the U.S. Census Bureau's 1:2 million scale county geography. The shoreline, international boundaries, and water (near-ocean) extents in the geography come from NOAA's Coastal Assessment Framework. The geography encompasses 100 percent of the land area within the coterminous United States of America. The Counties Digital Geography contains both land and water (near-ocean) components

States
The State Digital Geography is a digital spatial framework developed using geographic information system (GIS) technology. It is derived from the County Digital Geography. County boundaries within each state were dissolved using a GIS. The shoreline, international boundaries and water (near-ocean) extents in the geography come from NOAA's Coastal Assessment Framework. The geography encompasses 100 percent of the land area within the coterminous United States of America.
2.1
Lower 48 US Outline The Lower 48 Outline Digital Geography was developed using geographic information system (GIS) technology. It is derived from the County Digital Geography. Boundaries across all states were dissolved using a GIS. The shoreline and international boundaries in the geography come from NOAA's Coastal Assessment Framework. The geography encompasses 100 percent of the land area within the coterminous United States of America.

CAF - Coastal Estuarine Watersheds (EDA/CDA) - Land only This geography contains the land portions of the Coastal Assessment Framework's 150 Estuarine (and sub-estuarine) Drainage Areas (EDAs) and 324 Coastal Drainage Areas (CDAs).
3.4
CAF - Upstream Watersheds (FDA/FCDA) - Land only This geography contains the land portions of the Coastal Assessment Framework's 54 Fluvial Drainage Areas (FDAs)
and 12 Fluvial components of Coastal Drainage Areas (FCDAs).
1.8
CAF - Interior Watersheds - Land only This geography contains the land portions of the Coastal Assessment Framework's 11 Interior (self-contained,
groundwater-contributing only, or watersheds draining to outside the U.S.) Watersheds.

CAF - National Coastal Assessment Framework - Land only This geography contains the land portions of the Coastal Assessment Framework (Coastal, Upstream, and Interior
components).
5.8
CAF - Total Watersheds - Land only (NOAA Regions) This geography contains the land portions of the Coastal Assessment Framework (Coastal, Upstream, and Interior
components) dissolved to the whole watershed level (no Coastal nor Upstream delineations remain) as described
above.
5.4
CAF - Complete Coastal Assessment Framework - Land and Water The complete Coastal Assessment Framework (Coastal, Upstream, Interior, and portions of U.S. Watersheds located outside the U.S.), including both land and water components at the hydrologic cataloging unit level. It is the CAF in its more elemental form.
