Flow direction raster for Pennsylvania StreamStats

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), in cooperation with the Federal Emergency Management Agency, Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection, Pennsylvania Department of Transportation, and Susquehanna River Basin Commission, prepared hydro-conditioned geographic information systems (GIS) layers for use in the Pennsylvania StreamStats application. These data were used to update the peak flow and low flow regression equations for Pennsylvania. This dataset consists of flow direction rasters for each 8-digit Hydrologic Unit Code (HUC) area in Pennsylvania, one of the layer types needed to delineate watersheds within the HUC-8 areas, merged into a single dataset. The 59 HUCs represented by this dataset are 02040101, 02040102, 02040103, 02040104, 02040105, 02040106, 02040201, 02040202, 02040203, 02040205, 02050101, 02050102, 02050103, 02050104, 02050105, 02050106, 02050107, 02050201, 02050202, 02050203, 02050204, 02050205, 02050206, 02050301, 02050302, 02050303, 02050304, 02050305, 02050306, 02060002, 02060003, 02070002, 02070003, 02070004, 02070009, 04110003, 04120101, 04130002, 05010001, 05010002, 05010003, 05010004, 05010005, 05010006, 05010007, 05010008, 05010009, 05020001, 05020002, 05020003, 05020004, 05020005, 05020006, 05030101, 05030102, 05030103, 05030104, 05030105, and 05030106.
