The NHDPlus HR combines the NHD, 3DEP DEMs, and WBD to a data suite that includes the NHD stream network with linear referencing functionality, the WBD hydrologic units, elevation-derived catchment areas for each stream segment, "value added attributes" (VAAs), and other features that enhance hydrologic data analysis and routing. Purpose: The NHDPlus HR stream order is based on a modification of the Strahler method (Strahler, 1957). Stream order is used to rank streams according to relative size or position in the network.

Attribute errors may be present. Logical_Consistency_Report: Data is not expected to contain any topological errors. Network connectivity was verified by tracing upstream from outlets. Topology between drainage area lines and polygons, streams, waterbodies, coastlines, and gages was checked for vertical integration in the national data sets. Completeness_Report: Not all hydrologic features on the ground (e.g. stream/river, lake/pond, etc.) may be mapped, and changes may have occurred since originally mapped. The level of mapping detail varies by geographic area. The USGS jointly manages these data with local and regional data stewards, usually at the State level, and some variations in content occur based on differences in local/regional stewardship.

NHDPlusHR National aggregates all NHDPlus HR VPU datasets into one seamless file geodatabase. Process date below is when the NHDPlus HR data was aggregated Process_Date: 20211210 Process_Step: Process_Description: The NHDPlus HR National Database was downloaded from USGS website. Using the HUC12 boundaries that cover the state of NH as a reference, all features within those boundaries were exported from the NetworkNHDFlowline feature class to a standalone shapefile. Superfluous attributes for the purposes of stream order data were then deleted.
