Overiew

This is a simple repository containing GeoJSON files for the continental divide, including the full layer and split out by state. The layer is created from Hydrologic Unit Code basin boundaries.

Repository Contents

The following are the files in this repository:

data/
   continental-divide-co.geojson   Continental divide, in Colorado.
   continental-divide-id.geojson   Continental divide, in Idaho. **ERROR GENERATING**
   continental-divide-mt.geojson   Continental divide, in Montana. **DATASET INCOMPLETE**
   continental-divide-nm.geojson   Continental divide, in New Mexico.
   continental-divide-us.geojson   Continental divide, for US.
   continental-divide-wy.geojson   Continental divide, in Wyoming.
workflow/                          Workflow command files.
   create-layers.gp                GeoProcessor file to create GeoJSON files.

Published Dataset

The published dataset files are available in the data folder of this repository and also the Open Water Foundation data site.

Workflow

The following is a summary of the OWF GeoProcessor software workflow used to process the data (see the workflow folder):

1. The original data layer is retrieved from: ArcGIS Web Feature Service and saved to GeoJSON.
2. The full layer is clipped to each state's boundary and saved as separate GeoJSON files in the data folder.

This workflow may be updated in the future to create GeoPackage files and other formats.
