Download .zipThis theme shows general watersheds for Richland County, as digitized from US Geological survey quadrangle maps annotated by the Richland County Planning Commission in 1987.

This coverage was digitized from paper maps at a scale of 1:24000. Digitizing utilized run-length encoding techniques, sampling along horizontal lines which represented the midline of cells with a height of 250 feet. The measurement increment along these lines was one decafoot (10 feet) Additional details of the digitizing process are available upon request.

The coverage was subsequently converted to Arc/Info vector format.

Original coverage data was converted from the .e00 file to a more standard ESRI shapefile(s) in November 2014.Contact Information:GIS Support, ODNR GIS ServicesOhio Department of Natural ResourcesReal Estate & Land ManagementReal Estate and Lands Management2045 Morse Rd, Bldg I-2Columbus, OH, 43229Telephone: 614-265-6462Email: gis.support@dnr.ohio.gov

Download .zipThe analysis combines the areas designated as prime farmland by the Richland County Soil Survey with land available for agriculture determined from the land use/land cover map for Richland County. Prime farmland is usually defined as land best suited and available for producing food, feed, forage, fiber, and oilseed crops. It has the soil qualities, growing season, and moisture supply needed to produce sustained high yields economically when treated and managed, including water management, according to modern farming methods.

The soils used in this analysis were digitized from the paper final soil survey field sheets. These sheets were taped together to form an area covering each of the USGS 7.5 minute quadrangle maps in the county. The areas for each quadrangle were then digitized using run-length encoding technique sampling along horizontal lines which represented the midline of cells with a height of 250 feet. The measurement increment along these lines was one decafoot (10 feet). The quadrangle files were then merged into a county file which has subsequently been converted to Arc/Info format.

The user should bear in mind that this coverage is only an approximation of the soil survey and should not be used for site specific analysis.

Additional details of the digitizing process are available upon request.

Download .zipA potentiometric surface map is a contour map that represents the top of the ground water surface in an aquifer. The contour lines illustrate the potentiometric surface much like the contour lines of a topographic map represent a visual model of the ground surface. A potentiometric surface map is very similar to a water table map in that both show the horizontal direction and gradient of ground water flow.Contact Information:GIS Support, ODNR GIS ServicesOhio Department of Natural ResourcesDivision of Geological Survey2045 Morse Rd, Bldg I-2Columbus, OH, 43229Telephone: 614-265-6693Email: gis.support@dnr.ohio.gov
