File:Richland Creek Watershed, Nashville, Tennessee With Named Tributaries.pdf
This is a map from Page 11 of a work (link below) mandated by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) of the US Government. The U.S. Congress mandated that all states develop a Source Water Assessment Program in the "1966 Safe Drinking Water Act". As such, the work is deemed a US Government document made by its "employee" (the local government) and is therefore non-copyrightable. See p. 64 of the link below for the consent decree mandating this and similar reports on water quality.
