Flowways

Data format: Shapefile or Personal GeoDatabase Feature Class

File or table name: Flowways

Coordinate system: Transverse Mercator

Theme keywords: flowway, drainage, sheet flow
Abstract: A flowway for the purpose of this analysis is generally described as the lowest "pathway" allowing for the successive conveyance of surface waters. The Flowways2005 were defined by visual interpretation of the spatial differences between that shown on the 2005 aerials and that determined from the categorical reclassification of the soils layer. FlowwaysHistoricConnections were based on 1953 aerials. Flowway arrows were determined based on existing contour map and field verification by Lee County Natural Resources staff.

FGDC and ESRI Metadata:
Metadata elements shown with blue text are defined in the Federal Geographic Data Committee's (FGDC) Content Standard for Digital Geospatial Metadata (CSDGM). Elements shown with green text are defined in the ESRI Profile of the CSDGM. Elements shown with a green asterisk (*) will be automatically updated by ArcCatalog. ArcCatalog adds hints indicating which FGDC elements are mandatory; these are shown with gray text.

Process step:
Process description:
Soil survey map units (MUSYM) were grouped into 5 categorical reclassifications based on whether wetness of soil was event or seasonal driven: 
1 - Dry (may be perioidically inundated by less frequent rain events)
2 - Lower dry (inundated based on rain events)
3 - Transitional/slough (wet season areas)
4 - Pond or prairie
5 - Open water
Dry areas (1 & 2) were eliminated from the reclassification.  The resulting polygons were overlaid on 2005 digital aerials to determine connectivity and spatial arrangement of visible existing flowways.  Discontinuities and interruptions from development were eliminated from polygons.
