TheUSGS National Hydrography Dataset (NHD) service from The National Map is a comprehensive set of digital spatial data that encodes information about naturally occurring and constructed bodies of surface water (lakes, ponds, and reservoirs), paths through which water flows (canals, ditches, streams, and rivers), and related entities such as point features (springs, wells, stream gages, and dams). The information encoded about these features includes classification and other characteristics, delineation, geographic name, position and related measures, a "reach code" through which other information can be related to the NHD, and the direction of water flow. The network of reach codes delineating water and transported material flow allows users to trace movement in upstream and downstream directions. In addition to this geographic information, the dataset contains metadata that supports the exchange of future updates and improvements to the data. The NHD is available nationwide in two seamless datasets, one based on 1:24,000 (or larger) scale and referred to as high resolution NHD, and the other based on 1:100,000 scale and referred to as medium resolution NHD. The NHD from The National Map supports many applications, such as making maps, geocoding observations, flow modeling, data maintenance, and stewardship. The NHD is commonly combined with other data themes, such as boundaries, elevation, structures, and transportation, to produce general reference base maps. The National Map download client allows free downloads of public domain NHD data in either Esri File Geodatabase or Shapefile formats. For additional information on the NHD, go to -hydrography/national-hydrography-dataset. See for assistance with The National Map viewer, download client, services, or metadata.

Use Constraints: __ None. All data are open and non-proprietary. However, users should be aware that temporal changes may have occurred since this dataset was collected and that some parts of this data may no longer represent actual conditions. Users should not use this data for critical applications without a full awareness of its limitations. This dataset is not intended to be used for site-specific regulatory determinations. Acknowledgment of the U.S. Geological Survey would be appreciated for products derived from these data.


The USGS NHDPlus High Resolution service, NHDPlus_HR, a part of The National Map, is a comprehensive set of digital spatial data comprising a nationally seamless network of stream reaches, elevation-based catchment areas, flow surfaces, and value-added attributes that enhance stream network navigation, analysis, and data display.

I used to download 1/3 arcsecond elevation geotiffs from extract.cr.usgs.gov using web services. But a few days ago, that stopped working, probably because USGS reorganized their site. I tried emailing USGS and haven't heard back yet.


I could, of course, manually download states or degree tiles using the seamless server, but I want to do it programmatically so that users of my trip planner can get elevation data for their region without human intervention. And SRTM isn't high enough resolution for bicycle/wheelchair trip planning.


As of July 1, 2013, National Elevation Dataset (NED) 1- and 1/3-arc-second data are distributed only through pre-packaged 1x1 degree tiles in ArcGrid, GridFloat and IMG formats. Because of their very large file sizes, NED 1/9 arc-second data is distributed only through pre-packaged 15x15 minute tiles in IMG format.


The National Map Viewer can be used for downloading all kinds of data, but of course that is not programmatic. But if you make an "order" from the National Map Viewer, you will notice that the download links it sends you are very simple to generate.
