05050001: Upper New – Interactive Maps

We’ve been using two different applications (Google Maps and Felt) to begin putting together interactive maps of The Upper New (HUC 05050001) sub-basin watershed, along with our nine neighboring sub-basins. We’ve been using the National Map Downloader application to pull GIS datasets for each 08-digit HUC in the United States, provided by the USGS in the National Hydrography Dataset.

Map Components

Using GIS tools, we have also created several sets of KML and GeoJSON files that can be imported into your own mapping programs, so you can add this sub-basin as a layer in your map.

  • Download the HUC 08 boundary of 05050001 as KML or GeoJSON.
  • Download the HUC 10 boundaries (watersheds) of 05050001 as KML or GeoJSON.
  • Download the HUC 12 boundaries (sub-watersheds) of 05050001 as KML or GeoJSON.

Here are links to resources for importing these types of files to GaiaGPS or Google My Maps.
