Flow direction and Flow accumulation rasters were calculated to delineate flow paths. An accumulation threshold of 60 acres of upslope land was applied to identify a given pixel as a channel head; anything downstream of that channel head is identified as a flow path. The flow paths were then widened based on the total upslope area and the USGS regional curve equation for the Coastal Plain region of MD and VA. Large rivers and other open water features classified as “water” in the high resolution land cover dataset were added to the widened flow paths dataset. This final integration is the “enhanced flow path dataset.” Follow the link to see the Chesapeake Conservancy's </SPAN><A href="https://chesapeakeconservancy.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/PA-Streams-Accuracy-Assessment.pdf"><SPAN>PA stream mapping accuracy assessment</SPAN></A><SPAN>.</SPAN></P><P><SPAN /></P></DIV></DIV></DIV>
