7. 20% UDA Centerline Delineation and the 5th order Strahler Calculator [15] in the Pomme de Terre subbasin(A) and Weighted CLC values for 200 grid cells underlying the centerline (B) 26 6 C. Anderson-Tarver et al. Summary and Discussion This paper presents an algorithm for automatically delineating cartographic centerlines, which draws on previous work [1]. The algorithm selects flowlines on the basis of estimated upstream drainage area, and traces common nodes upstream until a headwater is reached.

A different approach was taken by Inoue et al. [10] who compute rectangular and rectilinear cartograms by triangulating the regions and transforming the triangles to meet the desired area requirements. Their rectilinear cartograms have high region complexity and their rectangular cartograms exhibit large cartographic errors. Finally, Heilmann et al. [9] gave an algorithm that always produces regions with the correct areas; but the adjacencies can be disturbed badly. Results and Organization. In this paper we show how to employ evolution strategies to search effectively in the exponentially large lattice of RELs.

S. Geological Survey (USGS). Multiple resolutions of NHD include a Medium Resolution (MR), 18 C. Anderson-Tarver et al. compiled for use at 1:100,000 and smaller mapping scales, and a High Resolution (HR), which was initially compiled for use at 1:24,000 in the coterminous states and 1:63,360 in Alaska. A third, Local Resolution (LR) database includes HR features densified to 1:2,400 scale and is available in only a few areas of the Nation as needed by state and local agencies. This paper will focus on the HR data.
