Dataset Lineage

Information from `Gauging Station Catchments - Queensland`.Boundaries were plotted with 1:250 000 drainage as a background. Visual checks were then made to ensure that no drainage lines crossed the Basin Boundary lines. All errors were corrected. Boundaries were determined by using 1:100 000 topographic mapping over Queensland. Copies of unpublished 1: 100 000 topographic maps were used also. Interpretation of the boundaries was checked both manually and by computer. Use at the capture scale ( 1:100 000) or greater.
