<p class="MsoNormal">In the latest symbology layer, NHD24K labels for Flowline, Areas and Waterbodies were grouped by scale and size. These Label Classes are fully customizable from the feature class properties ‘labels’ tab if adjustments are needed. By categorizing
the labels, only the largest features are labelled when zoomed out to a very small scale. As you zoom closer in, the labels of the smaller lakes, bays and other features appear.
