There are many ways to create spatial data. In this tutorial, you'll use an editing tool to draw features on an imagery basemap. The features you create will be saved in a feature class in your project geodatabase.Estimated time: 30 minutesSoftware requirements: ArcGIS Pro

This dataset contains 50-ft contours for the Hot Springs shallowest unit of the Ouachita Mountains aquifer system potentiometric-surface map. The potentiometric-surface shows altitude at which the water level would have risen in tightly-cased wells and represents synoptic conditions during the summer of 2017. Contours were constructed from 59 water-level measurements measured in selected wells (locations in the well point dataset). Major streams and creeks were selected in the study area from the USGS National Hydrography Dataset (U.S. Geological Survey, 2017), and the spring point dataset with 18 spring altitudes calculated from 10-meter digital elevation model (DEM) data (U.S. Geological Survey, 2015; U.S. Geological Survey, 2016). After collecting, processing, and plotting the data, a potentiometric surface was generated using the interpolation method Topo to Raster in ArcMap 10.5 (Esri, 2017a). This tool is specifically designed for the creation of digital elevation models and imposes constraints that ensure a connected drainage structure and a correct representation of the surface from the provided contour data (Esri, 2017a). Once the raster surface was created, 50-ft contour interval were generated using Contour (Spatial Analyst), a spatial analyst tool (available through ArcGIS 3D Analyst toolbox) that creates a line-feature class of contours (isolines) from the raster surface (Esri, 2017b). The Topo to Raster and contouring done by ArcMap 10.5 is a rapid way to interpolate data, but computer programs do not account for hydrologic connections between groundwater and surface water. For this reason, some contours were manually adjusted based on topographical influence, a comparison with the potentiometric surface of Kresse and Hays (2009), and data-point water-level altitudes to more accurately represent the potentiometric surface.

The Geodatabase to Shapefile Warning Tool examines feature classes in input file geodatabases for characteristics and data that would be lost or altered if it were transformed into a shapefile. Checks include:
1) large files (feature classes with more than 255 fields or over 2GB), 2) field names longer than 10 characters
string fields longer than 254 characters, 3) date fields with time values 4) NULL values, 5) BLOB, guid, global id, and raster field types, 6) attribute domains or subtypes, and 7) annotation or topology

The results of this inspection are written to a text file ("warning_report_[geodatabase_name]") in the directory where the geodatabase is located. A section at the top provides a list of feature classes and information about the geodatabase as a whole. The report has a section for each valid feature class that returned a warning, with a summary of possible warnings and then more details about issues found.

The tool can process multiple file geodatabases at once. A separate text file report will be created for each geodatabase. The toolbox was created using ArcGIS Pro 3.7.11.

The ArcGIS Pro Permitting and Environmental Information Tool (APPEIT) Project Package includes all of the layers that are in the NTIA Permitting and Environmental Information Application as well as the APPEIT Tool which will allow users to input a project area and determine what layers from the application overlap with it. An overview of the project package and the APPEIT tool is provided below. User instructions on how to use the tool are available here. Instructions now include how to customize the tool by adding your own data. A video explaining how to use the Project Package is also available here. Project Package OverviewThis map package includes all of the layers from the NTIA Permitting and Environmental Information Application. The layers included are all feature services from various Federal and State agencies. The map package was created with ArcGIS Pro 3.4.0. The map package was created to allow users easy access to all feature services including symbology. The map package will allow users to avoid downloading datasets individually and easily incorporate into their own GIS system. The map package includes three maps.1. Permitting and Environmental Information Application Layers for GIS Analysis - This map includes all of the map tabs shown in the application, except State Data which is provided in another tab. This map includes feature services that can be used for analysis with other project layers such as a route or project area. 2. Permitting and Environmental Information Application Layers – For Reference Only - This map includes layers that cannot be used for analysis since they are either imagery or tile layers.3. State Data - Reference Only - This map includes all relevant state data that is shown in the application.The NTIA Permitting and Environmental Information Application was created to help with your permitting planning and environmental review preparation efforts by providing access to multiple maps from publicly available sources, including federal review, permitting, and resource agencies. The application should be used for informational purposes only and is intended solely to assist users with preliminary identification of areas that may require permits or planning to avoid potentially significant impacts to environmental resources subject to the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and other statutory requirements. Multiple maps are provided in the application which are created from public sources. This application does not have an exhaustive list of everything you need for permitting or environmental review for a project but is an initial starting point to see what might be required.APPEIT Tool OverviewThe Department of Commerce’s National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) is providing the ArcGIS Pro Permitting and Environmental Information Tool (APPEIT) to help federal broadband grant recipients and subgrantees identify permits and environmental factors as they plan routes for their broadband deployments. Identifying permit requirements early, initiating pre-application coordination with permitting agencies, and avoiding environmental impacts help drive successful infrastructure projects. NTIA’s public release of the APPEIT tool supports government-wide efforts to improve permitting and explore how online and digital technologies can promote efficient environmental reviews. This Esri ArcGIS Pro tool is included in the map package and was created to support permitting, planning, and environmental review preparation efforts by providing access to data layers from publicly available sources, including federal review, permitting, and resource agencies. An SOP on how to use the tool is available here. For the full list of APPEIT layers, see Appendix Table 1 in the SOP. The tool is comprised of an ArcGIS Pro Project containing a custom ArcGIS Toolbox tool, linked web map shared by the NTIA’s National Broadband Map (NBAM), a report template, and a Tasks item to guide users through using the tool. This ArcGIS Pro project and its contents (maps and data) are consolidated into this (.ppkx) project file. To use APPEIT, users will input a project area boundary or project route line in a shapefile or feature class format. The tool will return as a CSV and PDF report that lists any federal layers from the ArcGIS Pro Permitting and Environmental Information Web Map that intersect the project. Users may only input a single project area or line at a time; multiple projects or project segments will need to be screened separately. For project route lines, users are required to specify a buffer distance. The buffer distance that is used for broadband projects should be determined by the area of anticipated impact and should generally not exceed 500 feet. For example, the State of Maryland recommends a 100-foot buffer for broadband permitting. The tool restricts buffers to two miles to ensure relevant results.

Idaho Geological Survey's publication in the Digital Database series DD-1: Database of the Mines and Prospects of Idaho (version 1.2025) is a relational database of Idaho mines and prospects locations and attributes compatible with Access 2000, SQL Server, and ArcGIS Pro. Also published on ArcGIS Online as an interactive web map application. Mines table was used to create spatial point feature classes (shapefile, geodatabase feature classes, KMZ) included in the downloadable data package for this release. All related data in other tables. Mines contains information on over 9,400 known sites of mineral extraction and exploration activities in Idaho. This inventory and supplemental files, documents, videos, and other media and derivative resources are valuable research tools. Available sources have been used to compile and correct these data including published and unpublished reference materials. Every effort has been made to make the database complete and accurate; however, any additions or corrections should be directed to the Idaho Geological Survey. Periodic revisions of this database will be issued as new information is added.

Purpose:This feature layer describes water quality sampling data performed at several operating coal mines in the South Fork of Cherry watershed, West Virginia.Source & Data:Data was downloaded from WV Department of Environmental Protection's ApplicationXtender online database and EPA's ECHO online database between January and April, 2023.There are five data sets here: Surface Water Monitoring Sites, which contains basic information about monitoring sites (name, lat/long, etc.) and NPDES Outlet Monitoring Sites, which contains similar information about outfall discharges surrounding the active mines. Biological Assessment Stations (BAS) contain similar information for pre-project biological sampling. NOV Summary contains locations of Notices of Violation received by South Fork Coal Company from WV Department of Environmental Protection. The Quarterly Monitoring Reports table contains the sampling data for the Surface Water Monitoring Sites, which actually goes as far back as 2018 for some mines. Parameters of concern include iron, aluminum and selenium, among others.A relationship class between Surface Water Monitoring Sites and the Quarterly Monitoring Reports allows access to individual sample results.Processing:Notices of Violation were obtained from the WV DEP AppXtender database for Mining and Reclamation Article 3 (SMCRA) Permitting, and Mining and Reclamation NPDES Permitting. Violation data were entered into Excel and loaded into ArcGIS Pro as a CSV text file with Lat/Long coordinates for each Violation. The CSV file was converted to a point feature class.Water quality data were downloaded in PDF format from the WVDEP AppXtender website. Non-searchable PDFs were converted via Optical Character Recognition, so that data could be copied. Sample results were copied and pasted manually to Notepad++, and several columns were re-ordered. Data was grouped by sample station and sorted chronologically. Sample data, contained in the associated table (SW_QM_Reports) were linked back to the monitoring station locations using the Station_ID text field in a geodatabase relationship class.Water monitoring station locations were taken from published Drainage Maps and from water quality reports. A CSV table was created with station Lat/Long locations and loaded into ArcGIS Pro. It was then converted to a point feature class.Stream Crossings and Road Construction Areas were digitized as polygon feature classes from project Drainage and Progress maps that were converted to TIFF image format from PDF and georeferenced.The ArcGIS Pro map - South Fork Cherry River Water Quality, was published as a service definition to ArcGIS Online.Symbology:NOV Summary - dark blue, solid pointLost Flats Surface Water Monitoring Sites: Data Available - medium blue point, black outlineLost Flats Surface Water Monitoring Sites: No Data Available - no-fill point, thick medium blue outlineLost Flats NPDES Outlet Monitoring Sites - orange point, black outlineBlue Knob Surface Water Monitoring Sites: Data Available - medium blue point, black outlineBlue Knob Surface Water Monitoring Sites: No Data Available - no-fill point, thick medium blue outlineBlue Knob NPDES Outlet Monitoring Sites - orange point, black outlineBlue Knob Biological Assessment Stations: Data Available - medium green point, black outlineBlue Knob Biological Assessment Stations: No Data Available - no-fill point, thick medium green outlineRocky Run Surface Water Monitoring Sites: Data Available - medium blue point, black outlineRocky Run Surface Water Monitoring Sites: No Data Available - no-fill point, thick medium blue outlineRocky Run NPDES Outlet Monitoring Sites - orange point, black outlineRocky Run Biological Assessment Stations: Data Available - medium green point, black outlineRocky Run Biological Assessment Stations: No Data Available - no-fill point, thick medium green outlineRocky Run Stream Crossings: turquoise blue polygon with red outlineRocky Run Haul Road Construction Areas: dark red (40% transparent) polygon with black outlineHaul Road No 2 Surface Water Monitoring Sites: Data Available - medium blue point, black outlineHaul Road No 2 Surface Water Monitoring Sites: No Data Available - no-fill point, thick medium blue outlineHaul Road No 2 NPDES Outlet Monitoring Sites - orange point, black outline

Soil map units are the basic geographic unit of the Soil Survey Geographic Database (SSURGO). The SSURGO dataset is a compilation of soils information collected over the last century by the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS). Map units delineate the extent of different soils. Data for each map unit contains descriptions of the soil’s components, productivity, unique properties, and suitability interpretations.Each soil type has a unique combination of physical, chemical, nutrient and moisture properties. Soil type has ramifications for engineering and construction activities, natural hazards such as landslides, agricultural productivity, the distribution of native plant and animal life and hydrologic and other physical processes. Soil types in the context of climate and terrain can be used as a general indicator of engineering constraints, agriculture suitability, biological productivity and the natural distribution of plants and animals. Data from the gSSURGO databasewas used to create this layer.

Wetlands are areas where water is present at or near the surface of the soil during at least part of the year. Wetlands provide habitat for many species of plants and animals that are adapted to living in wet habitats. Wetlands form characteristic soils, absorb pollutants and excess nutrients from aquatic systems, help buffer the effects of high flows, and recharge groundwater. Data on the distribution and type of wetland play an important role in land use planning and several federal and state laws require that wetlands be considered during the planning process.The National Wetlands Inventory (NWI) was designed to assist land managers in wetland conservation efforts. The NWI is managed by the US Fish and Wildlife Service.Dataset SummaryPhenomenon Mapped: WetlandsGeographic Extent: 50 United States plus Puerto Rico, the US Virgin Islands, Guam, American Samoa, and the Northern Mariana IslandsProjection: Web Mercator Auxiliary SphereVisible Scale: This layer preforms well between scales of 1:1,000,000 to 1:1,000. An imagery layer created from this dataset is also available which you can also use to quickly draw wetlands at smaller scales.Source: U.S. Fish and Wildlife ServiceUpdate Frequency: AnnualPublication Date: October 26, 2024This layer was created from the October 26, 2024 version of the NWI. The features were converted from multi-part to a single part using the Multipart To Singlepart tool. Features with more than 50,000 vertices were split with the Dice tool. The Repair Geometry tool was run on the features, using the OGC option.The layer is published with a related table that contains text fields created by Esri for use in the layer's pop-up.

This space-time cube contains basic population and housing variables for Public Use Microdata Areas (PUMAs), annually from 2010 to 2023. The variables are from the American Community Survey (ACS) 1-year estimates.A space-time cube is a powerful data structure used to visualize and analyze spatio-temporal data in ArcGIS Pro. Some examples of what you can do with this space-time cube: Create a compelling three-dimensional visualization of homeownership rate through timeFind emerging hot spots of specific race or Hispanic origin groupsIdentify change points of vacant housing unitsForecast future population valuesTo access this space-time cube, click Download, then unzip the downloaded folder. The folder contains a space-time cube (.nc), a file geodatabase (.gdb) containing the PUMA boundaries, and a csv file (.csv) describing the ACS variables in the space-time cube.To view a short tutorial on getting started with this space-time cube, read this blog article. To learn more about how to create and work with space-time cubes in ArcGIS Pro, view the learning path.placeholderSpace Time Cube ContentsSpatial unit and extent: 2020 vintage Public Use Microdata Areas (PUMA) boundaries for the entire United States, Puerto Rico, and Guam. Downloaded from US Census TIGER geodatabases National Sub-State Geography Database, with water and coastlines erased using 2023 500k TIGER Cartographic Boundary Shapefiles. Temporal interval and extent: one year interval, between 2010 and 2023 .Data source: ACS 1-year estimates downloaded from data.census.gov for each year between 2010 and 2023 (except 2020). Table(s) B01001, B03002, B05003, B05011, B19049, B25002, B25003, B25058, B25077.Variables: includes 32 variables on the following themes: population, race and Hispanic origin, foreign-born, housing occupancy, and housing tenure. To view a full listing of the variables, consult the .csv file contained within the downloaded folder.Processing Notes and Usage Tips The space-time cube contains variables that are directly sources from ACS, plus variables that have been calculated using ACS variables. The calculated variables can be identified by the “_calc_” stub in the field name. The spreadsheet contained within the downloaded folder provides more information on each variable source and calculation. It also contains field aliases, which can optionally be used to add aliases to the space-time cube layer or any other feature classes which are derived from the space-time cube (see blog article for information on how to do this). The field aliases were created based on the Table Shells file available from the American Community Survey Summary File Documentation page. The ACS did not publish 1 year estimates for 2020. The variable values for this year were imputed using the temporal trend method of the Create Space Time Cube from Defined Locations tool, which uses the Interpolated Univariate Spline method from the SciPy Interpolation package. This can introduce some unexpected artifacts in the values for this year, for example: count statistics may include decimal places or may become negative, and variables that should sum together to reach the total of another variable may not. Therefore it is advised to take caution when making any conclusions from analysis which are focused around this year. The PUMA boundaries change after each decennial census. For the time series of this space-time cube, there was a boundary change between 2011 and 2012 (from the 2000 census to 2010), and another between 2021 and 2022 (from the 2010 census to 2020). Therefore, apportionment was required for all years between 2010 and 2021 to be able to accurately create a time series based on the 2020 PUMA geographies. A weighted apportionment approach was used, applying either population or housing weights depending on the variable. Apportionment enables us to create longer time-series or time-series which are more current, however it also adds an additional source of error to the ACS estimates. A version of this space-time cube without apportionment, for 2012 to 2021, is provided at LINK TO OTHER CUBE. ACS update the population controls after every decennial census, which can sometimes cause slight shifts in values. For this space-time cube, these happened between from 2011 and 2012, and 2021 and 2022. Therefore it is advised to take caution when making any conclusions from analysis which are focused around these years. A version of this space-time cube without these effects, for 2012 to 2021, is provided at LINK TO OTHER CUBE. In order to have access to the latest functionality, it is recommended to use the most recent version of ArcGIS Pro to work with the space-time cube. In particular, in ArcGIS Pro 3.5, significant enhancements were made to space-time cube visualization workflows. Native space-time cube analysis and visualization is not currently supported in ArcGIS Online. However once visualization or analysis has taken place in ArcGIS Pro, the resulting space-time cube layer can be published as a Web Scene, which can be visualized in Scene Viewer.ACS InformationInformation about the United States Census Bureau's American Community Survey (ACS): About the Survey Geography & ACS Technical Documentation News & UpdatesPlease cite the Census and ACS when using this data.Data Note from the Census: Data are based on a sample and are subject to sampling variability. The degree of uncertainty for an estimate arising from sampling variability is represented through the use of a margin of error. The value shown here is the 90 percent margin of error. The margin of error can be interpreted as providing a 90 percent probability that the interval defined by the estimate minus the margin of error and the estimate plus the margin of error (the lower and upper confidence bounds) contains the true value. In addition to sampling variability, the ACS estimates are subject to nonsampling error (for a discussion of nonsampling variability, see Accuracy of the Data). The effect of nonsampling error is not represented in these tables.

In the Prince William Sound region of Alaska, recent glacier retreat started in the mid-1800s and began to accelerate in the mid-2000s in response to warming air temperatures (Maraldo and others, 2020). Prince William Sound is surrounded by the central Chugach Mountains and consists of numerous ocean-terminating glaciers, with rapid deglaciation increasingly exposing oversteepened bedrock walls of fiords. Deglaciation may accelerate the occurrence of rapidly moving rock avalanches (RAs), which have the potential to generate tsunamis and adversely impact maritime vessels, marine activities, and coastal infrastructure and populations in the Prince William Sound region. RAs have been documented in the Chugach Mountains in the past (Post, 1967; McSaveney, 1978; Uhlmann and others, 2013), but a time series of RAs in the Chugach Mountains is not currently available. A systematic inventory of RAs in the Chugach is needed as a baseline to evaluate any future changes in RA frequency, magnitude, and mobility. This data release presents a comprehensive historical inventory of RAs in a 4600 km2 area of the Prince William Sound. The inventory was generated from: (1) visual inspection of 30-m resolution Landsat satellite images collected between July 1984 and August 2024; and (2) the use of an automated image classification script (Google earth Engine supRaglAciaL Debris INput dEtector (GERALDINE, Smith and others, 2020)) designed to detect new rock-on-snow events from repeat Landsat images from the same time period. RAs were visually identified and mapped in a Geographic Information System (GIS) from the near-infrared (NIR) band of Landsat satellite images. This band provides significant contrast between rock and snow to detect newly deposited rock debris. A total of 252 Landsat images were visually examined, with more images available in recent years compared to earlier years (Figure 1). Calendar year 1984 was the first year when 30-m resolution Landsat data were available, and thus provided a historical starting point from which RAs could be detected with consistent certainty. By 2017, higher resolution (<5-m) daily Planet satellite images became consistently available and were used to better constrain RA timing and extent. Figure 1. Diagram showing the number of usable Landsat images per year. This inventory reveals 118 RAs ranging in size from 0.1 km2 to 2.3 km2. All of these RAs occurred during the months of May through September (Figure 2). The data release includes three GIS feature classes (polygons, points, and polylines), each with its own attribute information. The polygon feature class contains the entire extent of individual RAs and does not differentiate the source and deposit areas. The point feature class contains headscarp and toe locations, and the polyline feature class contains curvilinear RA travel distance lines that connect the headscarp and toe points. Additional attribute information includes the following: location of headscarp and toe points, date of earliest identified occurrence, if and when the RA was sequestered into the glacier, presence and delineation confidence levels (see Table 1 for definition of A, B, and C confidence levels), identification method (visual inspection versus automated detection), image platform, satellite, estimated cloud cover, if the RA is lobate, image ID, image year, image band, affected area in km2, length, height, length/height, height/length, notes, minimum and maximum elevation, aspect at the headscarp point, slope at the headscarp point, and geology at the headscarp point. Topographic information was derived from 5-m interferometric synthetic aperture radar (IfSAR) Digital Elevation Models (DEMs) that were downloaded from the USGS National Elevation Dataset website (U.S. Geological Survey, 2015) and were mosaicked together in ArcGIS Pro. The aspect and slope layers were generated from the downloaded 5-m DEM with the “Aspect” and “Slope” tools in ArcGIS Pro. Aspect and slope at the headscarp mid-point were then recorded in the attribute table. A shapefile of Alaska state geology was downloaded from Wilson and others (2015) and was used to determine the geology at the headscarp location. The 118 identified RAs have the following confidence level breakdown for presence: 66 are A-level, 51 are B-level, and 1 is C-level. The 118 identified RAs have the following confidence level breakdown for delineation: 39 are A-level and 79 are B-level. Please see the provided attribute table spreadsheet for more detailed information. Figure 2. Diagram showing seasonal timing of mapped rock avalanches. Table 1. Rock avalanche presence and delineation confidence levels Category Grade Justification Presence A Feature is clearly visible in one or more satellite images. B Feature is clearly visible in one or more satellite images but has low contrast with the surroundings and may be surficial debris from rock fall, rather than from a rock avalanche. C Feature presence is possible but uncertain due to poor quality of imagery (e.g., heavy cloud cover or shadows) or lack of multiple views. Delineation A Exact outline of the feature from headscarp to toe is clear. B General shape of the feature is clear but the exact headscarp or toe location is unclear (e.g., due to clouds or shadows).
