Description:
Abstract:
County-wide drainage basin boundaries automated (1992) from Westchester County Environmental Planning Atlas Hydrologic Features Map (1:24,000).  Updated (2012) to include new sub-basins delineated in the Bronx River Basin by the Center for Watershed Protection (2007-2008).
Purpose:
Compiled at a scale of 1:24,000, this data is intended for general planning purposes only, and may not be appropriate for site specific analysis.
