if you set the results of the trace as selected features and zoom to selected, you may zoom to a scale that is outside the NHD24 dependency settings. If you set the results of a trace to be selected features, you can then open the NHDFlowline attribute table
and open the related NHDArea and NHDWaterbody tables to identify the larger waterbodies that interact with the selected route.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
