# 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. Downloading the data and loading the data will take the longest. The whole of Wisconsin downloads ~12GB of data
