2324 - Water maps

Remember the river stages USGS map?

The site to go to is HERE to see the whole country's worth of flood gauges. Click on your area to see a more detailed look.

Well here another one to add to your collection of water maps.

This is an interactive map where you can see where the water goes to or where it comes from. Just pick at the top of the page, upstream or downstream, then click on the stream. (You have to pick a smaller area on the map to get that feature to work.)

Here's an upstream map of the Meramec River watershed. The red dot is just south of St. Louis. And the Meramec River is where my area in St. Louis gets its drinking water.

And it has most of the tributary names on the map. Exciting stuff for mapaholics.

And theeeeeennnnnnn, that's right there's more, if you want to see what data the government's been collecting, you can go to data.gov. If that doesn't keep you busy for the rest of your life I don't know what will.
