The way to access Layers Quickly.

Quick Layers is an Add-In for ArcMap 10.6+ that allows rapid access to the DNR's Geospatial Data Resource Site (GDRS). The GDRS is a data structure that serves core geospatial dataset and applications for not only DNR, but many state agencies, and supports the Minnesota Geospatial Commons. Data added from Quick Layers is pre-symbolized, helping to standardize visualization and map production. Current version: 1.164

To use Quick Layers with the GDRS, there's no need to download QuickLayers from this location. Instead, download a full copy or a custom subset of the public GDRS (including Quick Layers) using GDRS Manager.

Quick Layers also allows users to save and share their own pre-symbolized layers, thus increasing efficiency and consistency across the enterprise.

Installation:

After using GDRS Manager to create a GDRS, including Quick Layers, add the path to the Quick Layers addin to the list of shared folders:
1. Open ArcMap
2. Customize -> Add-In Manager… -> Options
3. Click add folder, and enter the location of the Quick Layers app. For example, if your GDRS is mapped to the V drive, the path would be V:\gdrs\apps\pub\us_mn_state_dnr\quick_layers
4. After you do this, the Quick Layers toolbar will be available. To add it, go to Customize -> Toolbars and select DNR Quick Layers 10

The link below is only for those who are using Quick Layers without a GDRS. To get the most functionality out of Quick Layers, don't install it separately, but instead download it as part of a GDRS build using GDRS Manager.

The files linked to this reference are the geospatial data created as part of the completion of the baseline vegetation inventory project for the NPS park unit. Current format is ArcGIS file geodatabase but older formats may exist as shapefiles. were derived from the NVC. NatureServe developed a preliminary list of potential vegetation types. These data were combined with existing plot data (Cully 2002) to derive an initial list of potential types. Additional data and information were gleaned from a field visit and incorporated into the final list of map units. Because of the park’s small size and the large amount of field data, the map units are equivalent to existing vegetation associations or local associations/descriptions (e.g., Prairie Dog Colony). In addition to vegetation type, vegetation structures were described using three attributes: height, coverage density, and coverage pattern. In addition to vegetation structure and context, a number of attributes for each polygon were stored in the associated table within the GIS database. Many of these attributes were derived from the photointerpretation; others were calculated or crosswalked from other classifications. Table 2.7.2 shows all of the attributes and their sources. Anderson Level 1 and 2 codes are also included (Anderson et al. 1976). These codes should allow for a more regional perspective on the vegetation types. Look-up tables for the names associated with the codes is included within the geodatabase and in Appendix D. The look-up tables contain all the NVC formation information as well as alliance names, unique IDs, and the ecological system codes (El_Code) for the associations. These El_Codes often represent a one-to-many relationship; that is, one association may be related to more than one ecological system. The NatureServe conservation status is included as a separate item. Finally, slope (degrees), aspect, and elevation were calculated for each polygon label point using a digital elevation model and an ArcView script. The slope figure will vary if one uses a TIN (triangulated irregular network) versus a GRID (grid-referenced information display) for the calculation (Jenness 2005). A grid was used for the slope figure in this dataset. Acres and hectares were calculated using XTools Pro for ArcGIS Desktop.

Initially flow in 1999. The history of this image is unknown.

Soils and soil moisture greatly influence the water cycle and have impacts on runoff, flooding and agriculture. Soil type and soil particle composition (sand, clay, silt) affect soil moisture and the ability of the soil to retain water. Soil moisture is also affected by levels of evaporation and plant transpiration, potentially leading to near dryness and eventual drought.Measuring and monitoring soil moisture can ensure the fitness of your crops and help predict or prepare for flash floods and drought. The GLDAS soil moisture data is useful for modeling these scenarios and others, but only at global scales. Dataset SummaryThe GLDAS Soil Moisture layer is a time-enabled image service that shows average monthly soil moisture from 2000 to the present at four different depth levels. It is calculated by NASA using the Noah land surface model, run at 0.25 degree spatial resolution using satellite and ground-based observational data from the Global Land Data Assimilation System (GLDAS-1). The model is run with 3-hourly time steps and aggregated into monthly averages. Review the complete list of model inputs, explore the output data (in GRIB format), and see the full Hydrology Catalog for all related data and information!What can you do with this layer?This layer is suitable for both visualization and analysis. It can be used in ArcGIS Online in web maps and applications and can be used in ArcGIS Desktop. The GLDAS soil moisture data is useful for modeling, but only at global scales. Time: This is a time-enabled layer. It shows the total evaporative loss during the map's time extent, or if time animation is disabled, a time range can be set using the layer's multidimensional settings. The map shows the sum of all months in the time extent. Minimum temporal resolution is one month; maximum is one year.Depth: This layer has four depth levels. By default they are summed, but you can view each using the multidimensional filter. You must disable time animation on the layer before using its multidimensional filter. It is also possible to toggle between depth layers using raster functions, accessed through the Image Display tab.Important: You must switch from the cartographic renderer to the analytic renderer in the processing template tab in the layer properties window before using this layer as an input to geoprocessing tools.This layer has query, identify, and export image services available. This layer is part of a larger collection of earth observation maps that you can use to perform a wide variety of mapping and analysis tasks.The Living Atlas of the World provides an easy way to explore the earth observation layers and many other beautiful and authoritative maps on hundreds of topics.Geonet is a good resource for learning more about earth observations layers and the Living Atlas of the World.

When precipitation falls on the surface of the Earth, much of it is captured in storage (e.g. lakes, aquifers, soil moisture, snowpack, and vegetation). Precipitation that exceeds the storage capacity of the landscape becomes runoff, which flows into river systems. Overland flow is the most visible form of runoff, causing erosion and flash floods, but subsurface flow is the larger contributor in many watersheds. Subsurface flow can emerge on the surface through springs, or more commonly, seep into rivers and lakes through their banks. In urban areas, impervious land cover drastically increases the amount of surface runoff generated, which sweeps trash and urban debris into waterways and increases the likelihood and severity of flash floods. In agricultural areas, surface or subsurface runoff can carry excess salts and nutrients, especially nitrogen and phosphorus. This map contains a historical record showing the amount of runoff generated each month from March 200 to present. It is reported in millimeters, so multiply by a surface area to calculate the total volume of runoff.Dataset SummaryThe GLDAS Runoff layer is a time-enabled image service that shows average monthly runoff from 2000 to the present measured in millimeters. It is calculated by NASA using the Noah land surface model, run at 0.25 degree spatial resolution using satellite and ground-based observational data from the Global Land Data Assimilation System (GLDAS-2.1).

Mean runoff for a given month is calculated over the entire period of record - 2000 to present.Time: This is a time-enabled layer. By default, it will show the first month from the map's time extent. Or, if time animation is disabled, a time range can be set using the layer's multidimensional settings. If you wish to calculate the average, sum, or min/max over the time extent, change the mosaic operator used to resolve overlapping pixels. In ArcGIS Online, you do this in the "Image Display Order" tab. In ArcGIS Pro, use the "Data" ribbon. In ArcMap, it is in the 'Mosaic' tab of the layer properties window. If you do this, make sure to also select a specific variable. The minimum time extent is one month, and the maximum is 8 years. Variables: This layer has three variables: total runoff, surface flow and subsurface flow. By default total is shown, but you can select a different variable using the multidimensional filter, or by applying the relevant raster function. Important: You must switch from the cartographic renderer to the analytic renderer in the processing template tab in the layer properties window before using this layer as an input to geoprocessing tools.

Melting snowpack is a key part of the spring water budget in many parts of the world. Like a natural reservoir, snowpack stores winter precipitation and releases it as runoff over the course of many months. Where summer rains are scarce snowpack provides crucial base flow without which rivers might go dry. Where summer rains are torrential, this exacerbates the flooding and can lead to the loss of lives. This map contains a historical record showing the water stored in snowpack during each month from March 2000 to the present. It is not a map of snow depth, but of snow water equivalent, which is the amount of water that would be produced if all the snow melted. For fresh snow, this can be anywhere from 5% to 20% the depth of the snow, depending on temperature (snow tends to be fluffier at lower temperatures). As the snow settles and melts, it becomes more dense, up to 40% or 50% in the spring. Temperature, albedo (the reflective property of the snow), density, and volume all affect the melting rate of the snowpack. Additionally, melting rate is influenced by wind, relative humidity, air temperature and solar radiation.Dataset SummaryThe GLDAS Snowpack layer is a time-enabled image service that shows average monthly snowpack from 2000 to present, measured in millimeters of snow water equivalent. It is calculated by NASA using the Noah land surface model, run at 0.25 degree spatial resolution using satellite and ground-based observational data from the Global Land Data Assimilation System (GLDAS-1).

Precipitation is water released from clouds in the form of rain, sleet, snow, or hail. It is the primary source of recharge to the planet's fresh water supplies. This map contains a historical record showing the volume of precipitation that fell during each month from March 2000 to the present. Snow and hail are reported in terms of snow water equivalent - the amount of water that will be produced when they melt.

The building footprints are captured …Show full descriptionThe Building Polygons dataset represent building footprints of man made structures used for occupation, commercial, service or storage purposes within Tasmania. The building footprints are captured using a combination of aerial imagery, LIDAR, and custodial data using a versioned editing process in ArcGIS Desktop. Historically, either points or polygons were used to depict building locations, with the option defined by the building size. To provide a more flexible dataset, polygons are the only feature type now used in the dataset. Previous point features were converted to 2m x 2m square polygons, as part of the data model update in October 2022. As such, these square polygons do not represent the associated building footprint but are used to depict spatial location only. Building types include: Residence, Feature (those shown in red on the Tasmanian Towns Street Atlas), Shed, Ruin, Commercial, Industrial, Education, Health, Emergency, Accommodation, and Amenity.

Anyone may view the services in their web browser by clicking on the service names and then choosing the ArcGIS.com Map link near the top of the service's home page.

Note: The presence of a map service, the data schema, and the data itself are subject to change as resources allow and the data or the service improves and is updated. To stay informed about changes to these web map services, monitor the DNRC GIS web site. Direct questions about a specific web map service to the GIS team.ArcGIS Desktop Users may use this URL -- http://gis.dnrc.mt.gov/arcgis/services/ -- in the "Add ArcGIS server" dialog box to access the main list of services. You may also use the View In Arcmap link on the service home pages listed below to add the services to your map documents. See the ArcGIS Help for assistance with connecting to services from ArcMap.Web Mercator projection: Some services may use the Web Mercator coordinate system, which facilitates their incorporation into web map applications more efficiently. Users of ArcMap must make sure that the coordinate systems of their data frames are never set to Web Mercator if they want to perform any kind of measurements. Most web applications understand that the map scale varies as you move north and south in this coordinate system, but ArcMap mostly does not. Measurements made in Montana will be from 40 percent to 100 percent too large if they are made using the Web Mercator projection.

ssurgoOnDemandThe purpose of these tools are to give users the ability to get Soil Survey Geographic Database (SSURGO) properties and interpretations in an efficient manner. They are very similiar to the United States Department of Agriculture - Natural Resource Conservation Service's distributed Soil Data Viewer (SDV), although there are distinct differences. The most important difference is the data collected with the SSURGO On-Demand (SOD) tools are collected in real-time via web requests to Soil Data Access (https://sdmdataaccess.nrcs.usda.gov/). SOD tools do not require users to have the data found in a traditional SSURGO download from the NRCS's official repository, Web Soil Survey (https://websoilsurvey.sc.egov.usda.gov/App/HomePage.htm). The main intent of both SOD and SDV are to hide the complex relationships of the SSURGO tables and allow the users to focus on asking the question they need to get the information they want. This is accomplished in the user interface of the tools and the subsequent SQL is built and executed for the user. Currently, the tools packaged here are designed to run within the ESRI ArcGIS Desktop Application - ArcMap, version 10.1 or greater. However, much of the Python code is recyclable and could run within a Python intepreter or other GIS applications such as Quantum GIS with some modification.NOTE: The queries in these tools only consider the major components of soil map units.Within the SOD tools are 2 primary toolsets, descibed as follows:<1. AreasymbolThe Areasymbol tools collect SSURGO properties and interpretations based on a user supplied list of Soil Survey areasymbols (e.g. NC123). After the areasymbols have been collected, an aggregation method (see below) is selected . Tee aggregation method has no affect on interpretations other than how the SSURGO data aggregated. For soil properties, the aggregation method drives what properties can be run. For example, you can't run the weighted average aggregation method on Taxonomic Order. Similarly, for the same soil property, you wouldn't specify a depth range. The point here is the aggregation method affects what parameters need to be supplied for the SQL generation. It is important to note the user can specify any number of areasymbols and any number of interpretations. This is another distinct advantage of these tools. You could collect all of the SSURGO interpretations for every soil survey area (areasymbol) by executing the tool 1 time. This also demonstrates the flexibility SOD has in defining the geographic extent over which information is collected. The only constraint is the extent of soil survey areas selected to run (and these can be discontinuous).As SOD Areasymbol tools execute, 2 lists are collected from the tool dialog, a list of interpretations/properties and a list of areasymbols. As each interpretation/property is run, every areasymbol is run against the interpretation/property requested. For instance, suppose you wanted to collect the weighted average of sand, silt and clay for 5 soil survey areas. The sand property would run for all 5 soil survey areas and built into a table. Next the silt would run for all 5 soil survey areas and built into a table, and so on. In this example a total of 15 web request would have been sent and 3 tables are built. Two VERY IMPORTANT things here...A. All the areasymbol tools do is generate tables. They are not collecting spatial data.B. They are collecting stored information. They are not making calculations(with the exception of the weighted average aggregation method).<2. ExpressThe Express toolset is nearly identical to the Areasymbol toolset, with 2 exceptions.A. The area to collect SSURGO information over is defined by the user. The user digitizes coordinates into a 'feature set' after the tool is open. The points in the feature set are closed (first point is also the last) into a polygon. The polygon is sent to Soil Data Access and the features set points (polygon) are used to clip SSURGO spatial data. The geomotries of the clip operation are returned, along with the mapunit keys (unique identifier). It is best to keep the points in the feature set simple and beware of self intersections as they are fatal.B. Instead of running on a list of areasymbols, the SQL queries on a list of mapunit keys.The properties and interpretations options are identical to what was discussed for the Areasymbol toolset.The Express tools present the user the option of creating layer files (.lyr) where the the resultant interpretation/property are joined to the geometry and saved to disk as a virtual join. Additionally, for soil properties, an option exists to append all of the selected soil properties to a single table. In this case, if the user ran sand, silt, and clay properties, instead of 3 output tables, there is only 1 table with a sand column, a silt column, and a clay column.<Supplemental Information<sAggregation MethodAggregation is the process by which a set of component attribute values is reduced to a single value to represent the map unit as a whole.A map unit is typically composed of one or more "components". A component is either some type of soil or some nonsoil entity, e.g., rock outcrop. The components in the map unit name represent the major soils within a map unit delineation. Minor components make up the balance of the map unit. Great differences in soil properties can occur between map unit components and within short distances. Minor components may be very different from the major components. Such differences could significantly affect use and management of the map unit. Minor components may or may not be documented in the database. The results of aggregation do not reflect the presence or absence of limitations of the components which are not listed in the database. An on-site investigation is required to identify the location of individual map unit components. For queries of soil properties, only major components are considered for Dominant Component (numeric) and Weighted Average aggregation methods (see below). Additionally, the aggregation method selected drives the available properties to be queried. For queries of soil interpretations, all components are condisered.For each of a map unit's components, a corresponding percent composition is recorded. A percent composition of 60 indicates that the corresponding component typically makes up approximately 60% of the map unit. Percent composition is a critical factor in some, but not all, aggregation methods.For the attribute being aggregated, the first step of the aggregation process is to derive one attribute value for each of a map unit's components. From this set of component attributes, the next step of the aggregation process derives a single value that represents the map unit as a whole. Once a single value for each map unit is derived, a thematic map for soil map units can be generated. Aggregation must be done because, on any soil map, map units are delineated but components are not.The aggregation method "Dominant Component" returns the attribute value associated with the component with the highest percent composition in the map unit. If more than one component shares the highest percent composition, the value of the first named component is returned.The aggregation method "Dominant Condition" first groups like attribute values for the components in a map unit. For each group, percent composition is set to the sum of the percent composition of all components participating in that group. These groups now represent "conditions" rather than components. The attribute value associated with the group with the highest cumulative percent composition is returned. If more than one group shares the highest cumulative percent composition, the value of the group having the first named component of the mapunit is returned.The aggregation method "Weighted Average" computes a weighted average value for all components in the map unit. Percent composition is the weighting factor. The result returned by this aggregation method represents a weighted average value of the corresponding attribute throughout the map unit.The aggregation method "Minimum or Maximum" returns either the lowest or highest attribute value among all components of the map unit, depending on the corresponding "tie-break" rule. In this case, the "tie-break" rule indicates whether the lowest or highest value among all components should be returned. For this aggregation method, percent composition ties cannot occur. The result may correspond to a map unit component of very minor extent. This aggregation method is appropriate for either numeric attributes or attributes with a ranked or logically ordered domain.
