This is a MD iMAP hosted service. Find more information on https://imap.maryland.gov.This layer was created using the Maryland Department of Natural Resources' (MDNR) 8-Digit Watersheds and Maryland Geologic Survey's (MGS) Physiographic Province data. MDNR 8-Digit Watershed file divides the state into 138 separate watersheds. MGS physiographic province file was primarily to show divisions between physiographic provinces within the state. The "MBSS IBI Strata" layer is used to determine which of the Index of Biotic Integrity (IBI) strata to use for calculations in a given watershed or at a given site(s). For Fish index of Biotic Integrity (FIBI) calculations in the Highland region, the "MBSS Coldwater Stratum" file must be used in determining Coldwater Highlands designations.Acknowledgement of the Maryland Department of Natural Resources and the Maryland Geological Survey would be appreciated in products derived from these data.Feature service link: https://geodata.md.gov/imap/rest/services/Hydrology/MD_BiologicalStreamSurvey/FeatureServer/0
