Before anyone can add a map to this page, a set of base map GIS files is needed that everyone can start with. It should contain:

1. A map boundary rectangle - so that all maps can easily be zoomed top the same extent
2. Hydrography - Obtain this from the USGS National Map server --> Hydrography data --> define area using Interactive Map Server (new 2011 version) --> download --> place an order --> wait an hour or so
3. Roads - Ditto - from National map server
4. Watershed boundary
5. Towns
6. Feature labels
7. Legend

Maps to add to this page:

1. Base map, including vector linework for:
   1. Watershed boundary - from Elkhorn Rd and up
   2. Hydrography - streams (major & minor), coastline, sloughs, etc.
   3. Roads (major, medium, minor)
   4. Towns
   5. Labels for all of the above
2. Elevation - with shaded relief
3. Slope - maybe with shaded relief
4. Geology - maybe with shaded relief
5. Soil type - maybe with shaded relief
6. Land cover - maybe with shaded relief
7. Mean annual precipitation - maybe with shaded relief
8. Locations of precip gages and stream gages - maybe with shaded relief
9. Watershed boundaries for Elkhorn Rd, Sill Road, and Johnson Rd - maybe with shaded relief
10. Soil erosion index (maybe) - maybe with shaded relief
11. Land ownership (maybe) - maybe with shaded relief
12. Locations of groundwater wells (maybe) - maybe with shaded relief
13. FEMA floodplain (maybe) - maybe with shaded relief
14. ...
