USA Hydrological Map – Canvas Green Bonito The width of the rivers

The width of the rivers and streams on the map are determined by their Strahler number which defines their size based on the hierarchy of tributaries

The Geologist in charge of this work was Arnold Hague which was printed by Julies Bien and Co

Its purpose is to divide the US into smaller hydrologic units which are then subdivided

USA Hydrological Map – Canvas Green Bonito The width of the riversLimited Quantity made in collaboration with Bradley Mountain The USA Hydrological Map shows in fascinating detail how the states rivers and streams flow and interconnect, merge and diverge, carrying life to the land. With exceptional detail, this map depicts every river in the country, even intermittent streams, and every body of water with a diameter greater than 6 miles. The rivers are illustrated through a method called the Strahler Stream Order
