Global Subnational River Borders

Sarah J. Popelka; Laurence C. Smith

This dataset presents Global Subnational River-Borders (GSRB), a first global geospatial dataset of subnational, as well as national, political borders set by large rivers. GSRB incorporates three previous vector datasets (GAUL, GRWL + +, and WDBII) to map and quantify the use of large rivers as political borders at local (Level 2), state (Level 1), and national (Level 0) scales.
