Query from a specfic layer

res_iws  <- query_gis(layer = "IWS",
                      id_name = "lagoslakeid", ids = c(34352))
res_lake <- query_gis(layer = "LAGOS_NE_All_Lakes_4ha",
                      id_name = "lagoslakeid", ids = 34352)
res_pnt  <- query_gis(layer = "LAGOS_NE_All_Lakes_4ha_POINTS",
                      id_name = "lagoslakeid", ids = 34352)

Query a combined watershed and lake polygon
