[Talk-us] Low-quality NHD imports

[Michael Patrick]

anyone
is reading this and is willing to host the data, I'm willing to help with
the design and conversions.

The USGS provides several WMS endpoints for the NHD
<https://nhd.usgs.gov/index.html> , most likely these will connect with
JOSM ( and qGIS ) for tracing or import.

Depending when imports were made will affect the quality - NHD is a moving
target, and as high resolution aerial Lidar and Satellite SAR elevation
data is made available, the resolution improves dramatically. Also, there
are different datasets available for different scales. See
https://nhd.usgs.gov/NHDPlus_HR.html
