[Talk-us] U.S. inland waterways

[Dale Puch]

I found this at http://www.ndc.iwr.usace.army.mil/data/dictionary/ddnwn.htm
Data is here http://www.ndc.iwr.usace.army.mil//db/waternet/data/ but not
in shp format so someone would need to do some format translation.
There are lots of other sets of data and perhaps one of those has something
even more along the lines you want.

All the USACE data and NOAA data should be public domain the same as tiger,
but some investigation should be done before using any specif source.
The metadata for this list use and access restrictions as none.
