Watershed Protection of the St. Lawrence River Watershed
with Special Consideration to Large Wetlands and Large Landownership
Part Two: The Salmon/Trout, Raquette, and Grasse Watersheds

This project was funded by a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Office of Wetlands Protection, State Development Grant #CD992644, and was completed in cooperation with the Remote Sensing Lab at the State University of New York at Plattsburgh, and the New York State Adirondack Lakes Survey Corporation. The St. Lawrence River Basin Study titled, "Watershed Protection of the St. Lawrence River Watershed with Special Consideration to Large Tracts of Land Part Two: The Salmon/Trout, Raquette, and Grasse Watersheds" is one of 10 EPA-funded State Wetlands Protection Program projects awarded to the Adirondack Park Agency, and marks the completion of detailed wetland and watershed maps for about 70% of the Park. Part I of this study focused on the St. Regis River Basin and was completed in 2000. Although the research described in this report has been funded wholly or in part by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under assistance agreement #CD992644 to the New York State Adirondack Park Agency, it has not been subjected to the Environmental Protection Agency's peer and administrative review and therefore may not necessarily reflect the views of the EPA and no official endorsement should be inferred.

Access the St. Lawrence II GIS data
GIS data is located in the '\GISdata' directory on the CD-ROM. All data is in the Universal Transverse Mercator Projection, Zone 18, North American Datum of 1983 and was created at a scale of 1:24,000.

• Wetlands data are in the '\GISdata\wetlands' directory in ArcInfo coverage format and are organized by quad and contain the letters 'wtl' in the coverage name.
• Watershed data are provided as regionalized ArcInfo coverages in the '\GISdata\watersheds' directory. There are separate coverages for the Raquette/Grasse River Basin and the Salmon/Trout River Basin. Watershed coverages have the letters 'ws' in their coverage name.
• A quad index shapefile called 'quadindex.shp' is included in the '\GISdata' directory.
• An ArcView legend (AVL) file, 'Class1wetlands.avl', is included in the '\GISdata\wetlands' directory and can be used to display the polygon wetlands data based on the 'Class1' field in the coverage
