Please Note: The water features (lakes, streams, rivers) depicted in this application are from a "snapshot in time" and therefore may not be representative of current conditions. The location, size, and type of water features represented in this mapping application should be field verified and/or confirmed by your local DNR Water Program representative.
Rivers and shorelines represented in the Surface Water Data Viewer were derived mainly from the blue lines on the USGS 7.5 minute topographic maps. 24K reflects the map scale of the data which is 1:24,000.
