Description
Tools for working with the National Hydrography Dataset, with functions for querying, downloading, and networking both the NHD <https://www.usgs.gov/national-hydrography> and NHDPlus <https://www.epa.gov/waterdata/nhdplus-national-hydrography-dataset-plus> datasets.

nhdR
Tools for querying, downloading, and networking both the National Hydrography Dataset (NHD) and NHDPlus datasets.
Installation
CRAN policy is that no package can write to a persistent location by default. As a result, nhdR writes all data to a temporary location unless a temporary = FALSE argument is passed to the nhd_plus_get/nhd_get functions. Alternatively, nhdR will automatically write data to a persistent location if the nhdR_path environment variable is set. To do this, add the following line to your .Rprofile:
Sys.setenv(nhdR_path = file.path(rappdirs::user_data_dir(appname = "nhdR",
appauthor = "nhdR")))
Your .Rprofile file can be edited using the usethis::edit_r_profile() function.
Stable version from CRAN
install.packages("nhdR")
or development version from GitHub
# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("jsta/nhdR")
This package also requires an installation of 7-zip that can be called via the command line using 7z or 7za.exe (check if your machine is good to go with nhdR:::has_7z()).
Usage
Load package
library(nhdR)
NHD Plus
NHD-Plus exports are organized by vector processing unit (vpu). See below for a low resolution vpu map (also nhdR::vpu_shp). A hi-res version can be found here.
# get a vpu export
