This Functional Classification dataset was exported from Caltrans Linear Reference System (LRS) on July 3rd, 2024. The LRS serves as the framework upon which the Highway Performance Monitoring System (HPMS) and other business data are managed.

This dataset is a series of digital map-posters accompanying the AdaptNRM Guide: Helping Biodiversity Adapt: supporting climate adaptation planning using a community-level modelling approach.

These represent supporting materials and information about the community-level biodiversity models applied to climate change. Map posters are organised by four biological groups (vascular plants, mammals, reptiles and amphibians), two climate change scenario (1990-2050 MIROC5 and CanESM2 for RCP8.5), and five measures of change in biodiversity.

The map-posters present the nationally consistent data at locally relevant resolutions in eight parts – representing broad groupings of NRM regions based on the cluster boundaries used for climate adaptation planning (http://www.environment.gov.au/climate-change/adaptation) and also Nationally.

Map-posters are provided in PNG image format at moderate resolution (300dpi) to suit A0 printing. The posters were designed to meet A0 print size and digital viewing resolution of map detail. An additional set in PDF image format has been created for ease of download for initial exploration and printing on A3 paper. Some text elements and map features may be fuzzy at this resolution.

Each map-poster contains four dataset images coloured using standard legends encompassing the potential range of the measure, even if that range is not represented in the dataset itself or across the map extent.

Most map series are provided in two parts: part 1 shows the two climate scenarios for vascular plants and mammals and part 2 shows reptiles and amphibians. Eight cluster maps for each series have a different colour theme and map extent. A national series is also provided. Annotation briefly outlines the topics presented in the Guide so that each poster stands alone for quick reference.

An additional 77 National maps presenting the probability distributions of each of 77 vegetation types – NVIS 4.1 major vegetation subgroups (NVIS subgroups) - are currently in preparation.

This dataset has been delivered incrementally. Please check that you are accessing the latest version of the dataset. Lineage: The map posters show case the scientific data. The data layers have been developed at approximately 250m resolution (9 second) across the Australian continent to incorporate the interaction between climate and topography, and are best viewed using a geographic information system (GIS). Each data layers is 1Gb, and inaccessible to non-GIS users. The map posters provide easy access to the scientific data, enabling the outputs to be viewed at high resolution with geographical context information provided.

Maps were generated using layout and drawing tools in ArcGIS 10.2.2

IDPR's Idaho Trails App Dataset, Web Map, and Web App have been extensively retooled for 2024.

Feature Service

The new App is served by this Hosted Feature Layer dataset which can be updated more frequently and on-the-fly-- changes will appear on the App and through the feature Service in real time. The newest web presentation technology under AGOL, Experience Builder, served by this dataset, will make possible several extended features to come in future updates to the App. This packaged release replaces the App created with predecessor technology Web App Builder. Web App Builder technology is scheduled to be phased out by Esri by the end of 2024.

Under the hood

Linear routes, closure routes and areas, and boundary area data are ported through a Web Map from the underlying Hosted Feature Service (HFS). In addition to view settings for attributes popups set in the Web Map, additional visibility option not available directly included in the HFS data or controllable in the Web Map will be further processed in the Experience App presentation.

Underlaying Classes in the Dataset:

One single linear class "Idaho Routes" contains all road and trail features (60,000+ route segments):

Routes characterized as recreational in nature include "High Clearance" (previously "Jeep" treated as a road type, now as a full-width "trail" type): High-clearance, Special Vehicle Designation (mostly OHVs >50"), OHVs 50" and under, and single-track (each width class separated by seasonal and not); E-Bike; and, non-motorized and non-mechanized. Routes where vehicles either must be highway-legal (OHVs prohibited; typically paved roads), or routes requiring Restricted plate for legal OHV travel (mostly JURISDICTION = County); combined from previously-separate Layers: Highway-legal, Automobile, Other Roads (each with subcategories for seasonal access restrictions).

(Note: Different route types are no longer kept in separate layers as with the legacy Map Service dataset. Route symbology, and selectable visibility will be filtered based on the value in the SYMBOL attribute from the above linear class within the Web Map and Experience-based App. If dynamically consuming the Feature Service, provisions will need to be made to filter to select visibility by road and trail types based on the value in the SYMBOL field.)

"Points of Interest" (point type data) is comprised of a layer previously titled "Trailheads" and now includes the flexibility of other types of lat/lon point-based information such as links to external maps and "attractions" information such as site seeing destinations not previously included in IDPR's map presentation.
"Emergency Route Closures" contains linear route Closures (overlays any route where a Closure Order applies in web map) "Area Restrictions" is added for areas such as defined by human exclusion Orders (polygon; usually planned annual human or vehicle exclusion areas, but can be emergency closure as well) Multiple "Boundary" polygon classes contain boundary outlines and attributes information for IDPR Regions (3), Counties (44), Wildernesses (42), National Forests and Ranger Districts (39), and BLM District and Field Offices (12), and BLM land units (700+). These separate classes reduce the data footprint of the Routes data and are joined in App popups by geographic Intersection logic.

Bonus Material:

Added to the App are several optional, dynamic layers via publicly-available REST services selectable for visibility:

Idaho Department of Lands- Lands Available for Recreational Use (visible by-default) Idaho Department of Fish & Game Hunting Units boundaries and numbers BLM Surface Management Agency layer for all local, state, and federal agencies which manage public lands (accessible, and not)
US Forest Service Motor Vehicle Use Map, National Dataset (mirrors local MVUM paper and GeoPDF maps, where data available, lags local data when changes are made) National Park Service (NPS) Parks and Monuments areas and boundaries NOAA Snow Depth Other REST Services to be added based on utility in researching recreational access

This dataset is published for the use of the individuals who fund this Program. Organizations wishing to consume this Feature Service into their own application should inquire to IDPR to obtain a use agreement and schema information to aid in development.AGOL Experience App here: https://experience.arcgis.com/experience/97a42a2a73c944ba918042faf518c689
