  Description:
    Abstract:
      This shapefile contains the one of the following GIS layers
      determined for the St. Marys River near Fort Wayne, IN (USGS 04182000) to be displayed on the
      National Weather Service's (NWS) Advanced Hydrologic Prediction Service
      (AHPS) website: study_area, xs, gage, or flood_control.
    Purpose:
      This data set was developed for use with the National Weather
      Service's (NWS) Advanced Hydrologic Prediction Service (AHPS) website and
      U.s. Geological Survey's (USGS) Flood Inundation Mapping Program (FIMP).
    Supplemental_Information: The initial target audience is the state and local agencies that must make emergency operational decisions during flooding events. However, since the graphics are easy to view, anyone with an interest during these events can make use of the maps, including the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), Corps of Engineers (COE), state and local emergency managers, the media, and the general public.

Data_Quality_Information:
  Attribute_Accuracy:
    Attribute_Accuracy_Report:
      The attributes in this dataset are believed to
      be accurate.
  Logical_Consistency_Report:
    These data are believed to be logically consistent, although not tested.
    Geometry appears topologically clean.
  Completeness_Report:
    Spatial and attribute properties are believed to be complete, although
    attribute information has been simplified. No tests have been completed for
    exhaustiveness.

        The following base GIS layers were used to create the titled GIS layers:
        USGS digital topographic maps, most current available orthphotographic images, and any available data
        from local, state and/or federal agencies.
    Process_Step:
      Process_Description:
        The following list is an explanation of each of the titled GIS layers:
        study_area; a polyline layer to frame the area of interest to be displayed on the AHPS map.
        xs; a line layer to show the cross sections used in the hydraulic model that is included within the study_area.
        gage; a point layer of USGS/AHPS gage location
        flood_control; a line layer of significant levees, floodwalls, or other flood protection measures considered in the modeled area
