Abstract:
This dataset represents structures that control the flow of water on watercourses within Skagit County.These structures were identified through consultation with drainage and dike commissioners as well as on the ground field verification. Most of the structures are part of drainage infrastructure and do not include obstructions such as dams or culverts.
Purpose: To locate drainage structures for the use in Capital Facilities plan and Critical Areas Ordinance work. These data were used in Capital facilities maps and in some Skagit County Hydro maps.
