Feature count: text overlay
Permanent river and basin text labels. Turn these on when geography matters more than raw features.
Summary
This layer provides permanent river and basin text labels for the explorer. It is a readability overlay used when the map needs named geography visible without opening popups.
What It Represents
This overlay adds permanent text labels for rivers and basins. It is a readability layer: it helps the user keep the geography in view while inspecting features that may otherwise be visually abstract.
How To Read It
Use it during presentations, screenshots, or when comparing basins and rivers without constantly opening popups. It is especially useful when the map is zoomed to regional scale.
Coverage / Method
The layer is a text overlay documented in Map Inventory. Labels are curated for river and basin orientation and are separate from project, transmission, and feature geometry layers.
Caveats
Labels can clutter dense views and may overlap at some zoom levels. Turn them off when project markers or linework need to be inspected closely.
