North Temperate Lakes LTER Yahara Lakes District Lake Watersheds

This zip archive contains six separate shapefiles. One each for the lake watersheds of
Mendota, Monona, and Wingra basins. Yahara_Basin: This polygon shapefile is the full Yahara
River watershed delineated using LIDAR elevation data for Dane County and a 10m DEM from the
USGS for Columbia and Rock counties. In addition, sewersheds from the city of Madison and a
field-checked basin map from Dane Co LWRCD was used. Yahara_subBasins: This is the same as
Yahara_Basin except with all of the major sub-basins delineated as well. Yahara_intBasins:
This polygon shapefile consists of the internally-drained basins in the Yahara Basin. These
were determined using the same elevation sources as in Yahara Basin.  [These areas do not
have a natural outlet (except during very large flood events...e.g., some overflowed in
2008)]
