Uses a raindrop trace web service to trace the nhdplus digital elevation model to the nearest downslope flowline.
get_raindrop_trace(point, direction = "down")Arguments
- point
sfc POINT including crs as created by:
sf::st_sfc(sf::st_point(.. ,..), crs)- direction
character
"up","down", or"none". Controls the portion of the split flowline that is returned along with the raindrop trace line.
Value
sf data.frame containing raindrop trace and requested portion of flowline.

point <- sf::st_sfc(sf::st_point(x = c(-89.2158, 42.9561)), crs = 4326)
