Artificial paths should be thought about (since they tend to contain a *lot*
of nodes, which the database doesn't like because it uses up hard drive
space), but the flowlines are needed to designate the centerlines for
rivers. When a river is too thin to exist in the NHD Area shapefiles, the
flowline is the only indication that the river exists.
