# pretty_rivers Downloads USGS data for a given location and makes a pretty map of the rivers. The width of the rivers is proportional to the area of land that the section of river drains. ## To run : 1. Clone the repository 2. Edit the extent of the map you want to produce in `extent.csv`. Include lat/long coordinates of two opposite corners (i.e. top-left and bottom-right). 3. Run the scripts: - `01_download_data.R` - This will take the longest. The whole of Wisconsin downloads ~12GB of data - `02_process_data.R` - `03_make_figures.R` ## Example figure ![example figure](figures/map.png)
