Description

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) delineates watersheds across the United States through a system that divides the country into hydrologic units. Each hydrologic unit is assigned a number that uniquely identifies descending levels of classification using two-digit fields: region, subregion, basin, subbasin, watershed, and subwatershed. This map of the 12-digit Hydrologic Unit Code (HUC) coverage for the Chesapeake Bay watershed is based on information from the USGS Watershed Boundary Dataset, clipped to the boundary of the Chesapeake Bay basin.
