# 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. It downloads the data to a `data` directory in the repo
|
|
- `02_process_data.R` - This loads and processes the data. After the initial run downloading the data for a given extent, you can start with this script.
|
|
- `03_make_figures.R` - This generates figures in a `figures` directory in the repo.
|
