Description
	Abstract: Hydrography represented in MOSS line format. MOSS was used extensively by the BLM from the early 1980's to 1994-1995.  Data may have been digitized using either the Automated Digitizing System (ADS) or the Wetlands Analytical Mapping System (WAMS) and ported to MOSS.  MOSS also had utilities to import data from a variety of other sources.  Prior to 1988, MOSS translated projected coordinates to 16 bit integers, causing rounding errors.  MOSS does not require line data to be broken into segments at line intersections.  Line data in this structure is commonly referred to as 'spaghetti' line data.  When available, ADS/WAMS source files are preferable to MOSS files.|

	Purpose: To represent digitally the hydrography data that is displayed on the 7.5 minute quad.  The data was collected to be used in analyses designed to support resource management decisions.|
