New Jersey StreamStats digital elevation, flow direction, and flow accumulation GIS data 2022

Metadata Updated: January 21, 2026

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), in cooperation with the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP), prepared hydro-conditioned geographic information systems (GIS) data layers for use in the updated New Jersey StreamStats 2022 application (U.S. Geological Survey, 2022). This update features improvements in base-elevation resolution from 10 meters to 10 feet and stream centerline hydrography from 1:24,000 to 1:2,400 scale. Hydro conditioning is the process of burning single-line stream centerlines at the 1:2,400 scale into a digital elevation model to produce flow direction and flow accumulation grids. This data release contains raster digital datasets for a 10-foot digital elevation model, a flow direction grid, and a flow accumulation grid for the updated New Jersey Streamstats 2022 application. The eleven 8-digit Hydrologic Unit Codes (HUCs) represented by this dataset are 02020007, 02030103, 02030104, 02030105, 02040104, 02040105, 02040201, 02040202, 02040206, 02040301, and 02040302 (U.S. Geological Survey, 2016). The updated New Jersey StreamStats 2022 application provides access to spatial analytical tools that are useful for water-resources planning and management, as well as engineering and design purposes. The map-based user interface can be used to delineate drainage areas, determine basin characteristics, and estimate flow statistics, including instantaneous flood discharge, monthly flow-duration, and monthly low-flow frequency statistics for ungaged streams.
