[Talk-us] NHD Flowline Import Question

[Theodore Book]

Dear Ian,

I have been leaving them as separate ways.  It seems that that would be 
easier to work with if we ever wanted to update with revised NHD data, 
and doesn't seem to produce too many ways.  The only change I make is to 
break up long ways into manageable chunks (especially in the area and 
waterbody data)
