The Watershed Boundary Dataset (WBD) is a comprehensive aggregated collection of hydrologic unit data consistent with the national criteria for delineation and resolution. It defines the areal extent of surface water drainage to a point except in coastal or lake front areas where there could be multiple outlets as stated by the Federal Standards and Procedures for the National Watershed Boundary Dataset (WBD), herein after referred to as the “Standard” (http://pubs.usgs.gov/tm/11/a3). Watershed boundaries are determined solely upon science-based hydrologic principles, not favoring any administrative boundaries or special projects, nor particular program or agency. This dataset represents the hydrologic unit boundaries to the 12-digit (6th level) for the entire United States. Some areas may also include additional subdivisions representing the 14- and 16-digit hydrologic unit (HU). At a minimum, the HU’s are delineated at 1:24,000-scale in the conterminous United States, 1:25,000-scale in Hawaii and the Caribbean, and 1:63,360-scale in Alaska, meeting the National Map Accuracy Standards (NMAS) Higher resolution boundaries are being developed where partners and data exist and will be incorporated back into the WBD. WBD data are delivered as a dataset of polygons and corresponding lines that define the boundary of the polygon. WBD polygons attributes include hydrologic unit codes (HUC), size (in the form of acres and square kilometers), name, downstream hydrologic unit code, type of watershed, non-contributing areas, and flow modifications. The HUC describes where the unit is in the country and the level of the unit. WBD line attributes contain the highest level of hydrologic unit for each boundary, line source information and flow modifications. WBDHU8 represents the 8-digit hydrologic unit boundaries (previously referred to as Subbasins) and are part of the WBD delivery, but the boundaries are not editable by the WBD In-State Steward. Approximately 2,297 8-digit hydrologic units (Subbasins) are in the WBD,

Features in this dataset represent public roads under local jurisdiction that are functionally classified as arterials or collectors. Features are represented by polyline (linear) geographic shapes.

The descritpion is described in the enclosed document labeled "Crash Course in PODs":
"A basic principle of risk management is to get ahead of problems one may face down the road. Doing so can help reduce time pressure, reduce uncertainty, and expand options – ultimately facilitating safer and more effective response. The Red Book embraces this idea, describing pre-season preparedness work as a key element of risk management that is critical to success when a fire starts. Pre-fire planning can provide a valuable means for building capacity within the organization, communicating hazards and opportunities with key stakeholders and partners, and sharing risks and responsibilities. The Red Book and the Forest Service Wildland Fire Risk Management Protocols both call for managers to collaboratively “predetermine” response strategies that balance protection of values at risk with firefighter and public exposure. Developing PODs is a good first step to meeting the intent of these requirements. Pre-fire planning with PODs does not make decisions or limit options, but instead is intended to provide actionable information and to expand flexibility."
