The Mississippi Sound Watershed is made up of HUC4s 0317 (Pascagoula River basin) and 0318 (Pearl River basin). This is the outline of their union, clipped to MS state boundaries (as MSEP's current funding only allows work within the state).

Details

The raw data were subsetted to the geopackage file msep_hucs.gpkg using the script subset_NHD.R. The subset was further processed into this final form, using the tigris package for state and cartographic boundary delineations, in make_boundaries.R. Both scripts and the subsetted geopackage file are available in the data-raw directory of the package repository at: https://github.com/CMEP-MS/msepBoundaries.
