1:250 streams data - USA wide - where can I find it?

Question

I have 1:250 streams data for a few western states. I find this scale to be excellent in many settings as base hydro data.

I have never been able to find a USA or better yet, NA wide dataset of this scale. Does anything like this exist for the USA or NA?

Look at the attached Idaho jpg for an example of this data enter image description here

Have you checked out the TIGER shapefiles provided by the Census Bureau? census.gov/geo/maps-data/data/tiger.html They have an FTP access to download multiple linear or area water shapefiles. I do not know what scale however the data was acquired at. — evv_gis, Apr 11, 2014 at 16:30

The National Hydrologic Dataset offers all hydrology data in 1:100,000 (medium res) or 1:24,000 (high res) for all of the US.
