Listed below are therequired datasets:jr 10-04818-000 hillslope toolbox user guide - arcgis 10Herrera Environmental Consultants8March 30, 2012

Hillslope Delineation Toolbox User Manual – ArcGIS 10 An elevation raster such as a 10-meter DEM or LiDAR, Polygons describing treatment or vegetation types, Polygons describing soil textures, A BARC (Burned Area Reflectance Classifiation) burn severity raster (ERMiTBatch model only), and stream centerline data with names (optional).Some of this data are publicly available for most areas, such as elevation data, stream centerlines,and soil data. Other files like treatment or vegetation type polygons will need to be generated bythe user. Appendix A provides information on public data sources to help you with datagathering as well as basic instructions on creating your own data.The data also needs to meet a couple basic requirements before it can be used successfully in theHillslope Delineation Toolbox. All data needs to be in one common coordinate system.The elevation dataset used needs to be one single raster.Grid size does not need to be consistent between the elevation and BARC rasters.Appendix A provides more information on how to preprocess data if you have multiple elevationgrids or multiple coordinate systems.The following sections provide step-by-step instructions for each tool in the Hillslope DelineationToolbox. They also explain background terminology and any important considerations that mayaffect your overall model results. The tools are designed to be used in a sequential order andmuch of the data processing itself is hidden from the user. This is to ensure that the HillslopeDelineation Toolbox can be run by a user with minimal GIS experience without the need for anyadditional resources besides this user guide.Step 1: Hydrology ProcessingThe first tool in the Hillslope Delineation Toolbox is Hydrology Processing. The purpose ofthis tool is to run a series of hydrology processing steps on an input elevation raster in order togenerate necessary output gridsfor later steps in the toolbox. The following output files will begenerated by this tool:Clipped Elevation GridThe first grid that is generated by the Hydrology Processing tool is the Clipped ElevationGrid. This grid is generated by clipping an input elevation raster to an extent defined by the user.jr 10-04818-000 hillslope toolbox user guide - arcgis 10March 30, 20129Herrera Environmental Consultants

Hillslope Delineation Toolbox User Manual – ArcGIS 10Hillshade GridThe second grid that is generated by the Hydrology Processing tool is the Hillshade Grid. Ahillshade is generated by modeling illumination source angles and shadows to create a shadedrelief grid that gives the user a more three-dimensional sense of on-the-ground topography.Fill GridThe third grid that is generated by the Hydrology Processing tool is the Fill Grid. This grid isgenerated by running the Spatial Analyst Fill command on the elevation raster to fill any closeddepressions and other surface anomalies in the elevation dataset that would affect hydrologyanalysis on the raster.Flow DirectionThe fourth grid generated by the Hydrology Processing tool is the Flow Direction Grid. Thisgrid is generated by running the Spatial Analyst Flow Direction command on the filledelevation raster to create a raster displaying the direction every pixel drains to its steepestdownslope neighbor.Flow AccumulationThe fifth grid generated by the Hydrology Processing tool is the Flow Accumulation Grid.This is generated by running the Spatial Analyst Flow Accumulation command on the flowdirection raster to create an ouput raster of accumulated flow at each pixel.Implementation of Hydrology ProcessingThe Hydrology Processing tool assumes that you have already obtained one single elevationraster for your study area and are now ready to process it and generate a number of output gridsfor later toolbox steps. If you need help in obtaining elevation data or have more than oneelevation raster that you need to combine, please see Appendix A before proceeding. If youalready have your elevation dataset ready, the following steps will help you get started:1.Open the Hydrology Processing tool by clicking on Step 1: HydrologyProcessing in the Hillslope Delineation Toolbox. If yellow exclamation pointsoccur next to any of the outputs, don’t be concerned. This indicates that the filethat you are trying to generate already exists. Once you choose a new file name,the exclamation point errors will disappear.jr 10-04818-000 hillslope toolbox user guide - arcgis 10Herrera Environmental Consultants10March 30, 2012

Hillslope Delineation Toolbox User Manual – ArcGIS 103.Elevation grids can be quite large depending on the geographic extent and pixelsize, and large files can take up a lot of storage space and processing time. TheInput Extent Rectangle inputs are designed to allow you to clip large elevationgrids to a size that better represents your study area. You have two options forsetting the extent to clip to. First, you can select an existing dataset to clip from theInput Extent Rectangle polygon. The other option is described in the next steps.If you don’t want to clip your elevation grid to a smaller size, leave the minimumX and Y values with their default values.4.To clip your raster to a rectangle manually without using an existing dataset, usethe zoom tool to zoom to the display extent you want to clip your dataset to. Besure that the display covers the whole area that you want to analyze plus a little bitof extra area.5.In the lower right hand corner of the data frame are coordinate values for the dataextent. Move your cursor around in the data space to see how these values change.jr 10-04818-000 hillslope toolbox user guide - arcgis 10Herrera Environmental Consultants12March 30, 2012

Hillslope Delineation Toolbox User Manual – ArcGIS 106.To determine the X Minimum value for your view frame, move your cursor to thevery bottom left corner of the view frame and look at the coordinate values in thebottom right of the data frame. Type the first number in the pair of coordinates inthe X Minimum box.7.Next move your cursor to the very bottom right corner of the view frame and lookat the coordinate values below your cursor in the data frame. Type the firstnumber in the pair of coordinates in the X Maximum box, and then type thesecond number in the pair into the Y Minimum box.8.Now scroll to anywhere in the very top of the view frame. Type the secondnumber in the pair of coordinates in the bottom right corner of the data frame intothe Y Maximum box. These four new bounding coordinates create a box that willbe used to clip your raster to the view frame extent.9.Click in the Output Clipped Elevation Grid box to name your output file. Makesure to give the raster a meaningful name that also indicates the toolbox stepnumber such as “grid clp 1”. Raster names cannot exceed 13 characters inlength, so intuitive naming conventions are important.10.Click in the Output Hillshade Grid box to name your output file. A suggestednaming convention for this output raster is “grid hs 1”.11.Click in the Output Fill Grid box to name your output file. A suggested namingconvention for this output raster is “grid fill 1”.12.Click in the Output Flow Direction Grid box to name your output file. Asuggested naming convention for this output raster is “grid fdir 1”.13.Click in the Output Flow Accumulation box to name your output file. . Asuggested naming convention for the output raster is “grid facc 1”.14.Click OK. After the tool is finished running, the output raster datasets will beadded to the ArcMap table of contents.Step 2: Stream and Watershed DelineationThe second tool in the Hillslope Delineation Toolbox is Stream and Watershed Delineation.The purpose of this tool is to use the flow accumulation and flow direction grids generated inStep 1 to generate a stream network and delineate hillslope areas draining to each stream. Thefollowing output files will be generated by this tool:Stream Network PolylinesThe first output file is a shapefile of the stream network. This is derived by combining theelevation grid output generated in Step 1 with a user-defined stream accumulation threshold area.jr 10-04818-000 hillslope toolbox user guide - arcgis 10March 30, 201213Herrera Environmental Consultants

Hillslope Delineation Toolbox User Manual – ArcGIS 10Both the streams and the hillslope areas delineated by this tool are sensitive to elevation gridresolution, and it is important to be aware of resolution limitations when using this tool. Moredetailed information about resolution limitations and stream threshold input is provided below inthe tool instructions.Hillslope PolygonsThe output file from this tool is a shapefile of top, left, and right hillslope polygons. Not allhillslopes drain to streams.Implementation of Stream and Watershed Delineation1.Open the Stream and Watershed Delineation tool by clicking on Step 2:Stream and Watershed Delineation in the toolbox. If yellow exclamation pointsoccur next to any of the outputs, don’t be concerned. This indicates that the filethat you are trying to generate already exists. Once you choose a new file name,the exclamation point errors will disappear.2.Click on the Input Flow Accumulation Grid drop-down menu and select theflow accumulation grid that you created in Step 1.3.Click on the Input Flow Direction Grid drop-down menu and select the flowdirection grid that you created in Step 1.jr 10-04818-000 hillslope toolbox user guide - arcgis 10Herrera Environmental Consultants14March 30, 2012

Hillslope Delineation Toolbox User Manual – ArcGIS 104.Notice that an equation has been pre-entered in the Stream Threshold box. Thepurpose of this equation is to set a contributing drainage area limit that willdetermine the resolution of a polyline stream network. By default the thresholdvalue is set to 500, which means that a stream will be defined as a connectednetwork of pixels that have at least 500 other cells draining downslope to them.Put another way, 500 10-meter pixels is the equivalent of a contributing drainagearea of 0.05 square kilometers.Establishing appropriate stream threshold cutoff values for your study area andyour raster resolution size is important. Both stream networks and hillslope areasare sensitive to resolution, and the stream threshold value that you choose has adirect impact on the size and number of hillslopes that you will generate. Fineresolution rasters such as LiDAR data can accurately generate more detailedstream networks and hillslopes drainin
