Examples of arcs drawn over DEM data in the Map module

The Map Map Module Icon.svg module provides a suite of tools for defining watershed data using feature objects: points, arcs, and polygons. These feature objects are grouped onto coverages, similar to a layer or level in a CAD drawing. Each coverage represents a particular set of information. For example, one coverage could be used to define drainage boundaries, and another coverage could be used to define land use and soil zones.
