Water is literally the lifeblood of any country. If you’re drawn to water, you know that how and where it flows tells the story of a place.

The USA Hydrological Map shows every river, stream, and lake, including non-perennial waterways, in fascinating detail. Our map of these water bodies displays the USA’s (Lower-48, Hawaii, and Alaska) rivers and streams using the Strahler Stream Order method. This method displays them graphically by rank, mapping how they interconnect in their intricate watersheds. The flow of water also has a dendritic, aesthetic elegance that our map captures beautifully.

Our map of the USA depicts every watercourse in the country in detail, from large rivers to intermittent streams, and every body of water with a diameter greater than 6 miles. For an extra aesthetic touch, we apply the Strahler Stream Order method to show the hierarchy of streams as they flow from their source. Lines representing rivers thicken as they acquire the flow of tributaries and gain relative importance. This allows us to legibly map a dry gulch in Nevada alongside the mighty Mississippi-Missouri River system, and enhances a sense of the interconnectedness of our waterways.

In our Hydrology Series, you’ll not only find your favorite rivers and lakes, but you’ll also be able to trace their origins and outflow and appreciate the beauty of their connections.

        Must see in person

        My local outdoor recreation store has a Hydrological map of the U.S, from Muir Way, on display. Every time I go into the store I try to purchase the map off of their wall, and each time (no matter the employee) I get the same response: "If I asked management if the map was for sale, I might loose the pleasure of seeing it everyday". For years I tried to buy this map from them - seriously. But they would never sell it! One day I randomly stumbled across Muir Way's website, saw the hydrological map listing, and instantly made the connection.. that is the map on display at the store! No hesitation, I bought the largest size of this map that they make.

        I usually would have never considered the hydrological map, instead vouching for a topography map or something alike; once you see this thing in person, though, you will never forget it.

        The map is beautiful in contrast of black to white and detail

        I think I can identify the creek I used to dam up behind my house!

        I'd give this product five stars but I'm disappointed by the extra large unnecessary title at the top. Before I purchased I figured I'd cut the title off since the beauty of its undulating lines of white against black on the map clearly says water and land. Unfortunately the 'Muir Way' logo is stuck too high from the bottom of the paper to trim off. This logo is not on the other two products I bought. Why must it be advertised on this one?
