RTB Maps is a cloud-based electronic Atlas. We used ArGIS 10 for Desktop with Spatial Analysis Extension, ArcGIS 10 for Server on-premise, ArcGIS API for Javascript, IIS web services based on .NET, and ArcGIS Online combining data on the cloud with data and applications on our local server to develop an Atlas that brings together many of the map themes related to development of roots, tubers and banana crops. The Atlas is structured to allow our participating scientists to understand the distribution of the crops and observe the spatial distribution of many of the obstacles to production of these crops. The Atlas also includes an application to allow our partners to evaluate the importance of different factors when setting priorities for research and development. The application uses weighted overlay analysis within a multi-criteria decision analysis framework to rate the importance of factors when establishing geographic priorities for research and development.Datasets of crop distribution maps, agroecology maps, biotic and abiotic constraints to crop production, poverty maps and other demographic indicators are used as a key inputs to multi-objective criteria analysis.Further metadata/references can be found here: http://gisweb.ciat.cgiar.org/RTBmaps/DataAvailability_RTBMaps.htmlDISCLAIMER, ACKNOWLEDGMENTS AND PERMISSIONS:This service is provided by Roots, Tubers and Bananas CGIAR Research Program as a public service.

The Site Address Points dataset was created and moved into GIS production January 31st, 2018. The feature class was created as part of a consultant project to add missing addresses to the GIS address points. Several sources of addresses such as AMANDA property records, County GIS points, Assessor records, a commercial mailing list, and the phone company's ALI database were checked against each other and the most valid addresses were added increasing the address points from the original 264,375 to over 365,000. The project also adopted a NENA-compliant data model to become more NG 9-1-1 ready. In 2023, a project was completed to enhance this dataset by populating a Place Type field indicating the use type category associated with each address. Following are the codes and definitions used in the Place Type field:BU: BusinessCO: Common AreaCY: CemeteryED: EducationalFB: Faith Based OrganizationGO: GovernmentGQ: Group QuartersHS: HospitalHT: HotelMF: Multi FamilyMH: Mobile HomeMI: MiscellaneousPG: ParkingRE: RecreationalRL: RetailRT: RestaurantSF: Single FamilyTR: TransportationData is updated on an ongoing basis with changes published weekly on Monday morning.

Karst is a type of landscape where the bedrock has dissolved and created features such as caves, enclosed depressions (sinkholes), disappearing streams, springs and turloughs (seasonal lakes). Limestone is the most common type of soluble rock. As rain falls it picks up carbon dioxide (CO2) in the air. When this rain reaches the ground and passes through the soil it picks up more CO2 and forms a weak acid solution. The acidified rain water trickles down through cracks and holes in the limestone and over time dissolves the rock. After traveling underground, sometimes for long distances, this water is then discharged at springs, many of which are cave entrances.There are many kinds of karst landforms, ranging in size from millimetres to kilometres. Dolines or sinkholes are small to medium sized enclosed depressions. Uvalas and poljes are large enclosed depressions. A swallow hole is the point where surface stream sinks underground. Turloughs are seasonal lakes. Springs occur where groundwater comes out at the surface, karst springs are usually much bigger than non-karst springs. Estevelles can act as springs or swallow holes. Dry valleys are similar to normal river valleys except they do not have a stream flowing at the bottom. A cave is a natural underground opening in rock large enough for a person to enter. Superficial Solution Features can be seen on rocks dissolved by rain and include pits, grooves, channels, clints (blocks) and grikes (joints). Please read the lineage for further details.This map shows the currently mapped karst landforms in Ireland.Geologists map and record information in the field. They also examine old maps and aerial photos.We collect new data to update our map and also use data made available from other sources such as academia and consultants. It is NOT a complete database and only shows areas that have been mapped by GSI, or submitted to the GSI. Many karst features are not included in this database. The user should not rely only on this database, and should undertake their own site study for karst features in the area of interest if needed.It is a vector dataset. Vector data portray the world using points, lines, and polygons (areas).The karst data is shown as points. Each point holds information on: Karst Feature Unique ID, Historic GSI Karst Feature ID, Karst Feature Type, Karst Feature Name, if it’s within another Karst Feature, Location Accuracy, Data Source, Comments, Details and County.Water tracing means ‘tagging’ water, usually by adding a colour or dye, to see where it goes. Dye is usually added to a sinking stream and all possible outlet points (such as springs and rivers) are tested for the dye.Water traces are recorded as a straight line between the location of tracer input (e.g. swallow hole) and detection (e.g. spring), but they don’t show the actual path water may take underground, which is likely to be much more winding.It is mainly used in karst areas to find out groundwater flow rates, the direction the water is travelling underground and to help define catchments (Zone of Contributions).The dataset should be used alongside the Karst Landforms 1:40,000 Ireland (ROI/NI) ITM.Geologists map and record information in the field. We collect new data to update our map and also use data made available from other sources such as Academia and Consultants. It is a vector dataset. Vector data portray the world using points, lines, and polygons (areas).The karst data is shown as lines. Each line holds information on: Tracer Line Unique ID, Input Site, Input Historic GSI Karst Feature ID, Output Site. Output Historic GSI Karst Feature ID, Tracer Test Date, Weather Conditions, Tracer Used, Quantity, Operator, Results, Minimum Groundwater Flow Rate, Hydraulic Gradient (slope of water table), Data Source, Catchment, Peak Concentration, Other Information, Flow Path, County, Length (m), Direction and Quality Checked.

Parcels delineate the approximate boundaries of property ownership as described in Napa County deeds, filed maps, and other source documents. Parcel boundaries in GIS are created and maintained by the Assessor’s Division Mapping section and Information Technology Services. There are approximately 51,300 real property parcels in Napa County. Parcels delineate the approximate boundaries of property ownership as described in Napa County deeds, filed maps, and other source documents. GIS parcel boundaries are maintained by the Information Technology Services GIS team. Assessor Parcel Maps are created and maintained by the Assessor Division Mapping Section. Each parcel has an Assessor Parcel Number (APN) that is its unique identifier. The APN is the link to various Napa County databases containing information such as owner name, situs address, property value, land use, zoning, flood data, and other related information. Data for this map service is sourced from the Napa County Parcels dataset which is updated nightly with any recent changes made by the mapping team. There may at times be a delay between when a document is recorded and when the new parcel boundary configuration and corresponding information is available in the online GIS parcel viewer.From 1850 to early 1900s assessor staff wrote the name of the property owner and the property value on map pages. They began using larger maps, called “tank maps” because of the large steel cabinet they were kept in, organized by school district (before unification) on which names and values were written. In the 1920s, the assessor kept large books of maps by road district on which names were written. In the 1950s, most county assessors contracted with the State Board of Equalization for board staff to draw standardized 11x17 inch maps following the provisions of Assessor Handbook 215. Maps were originally drawn on linen. By the 1980’s Assessor maps were being drawn on mylar rather than linen. In the early 1990s Napa County transitioned from drawing on mylar to creating maps in AutoCAD. When GIS arrived in Napa County in the mid-1990s, the AutoCAD images were copied over into the GIS parcel layer. Sidwell, an independent consultant, was then contracted by the Assessor’s Office to convert these APN files into the current seamless ArcGIS parcel fabric for the entire County. Beginning with the 2024-2025 assessment roll, the maps are being drawn directly in the parcel fabric layer.Parcels in the GIS parcel fabric are drawn according to the legal description using coordinate geometry (COGO) drawing tools and various reference data such as Public Lands Survey section boundaries and road centerlines. The legal descriptions are not defined by the GIS parcel fabric. Any changes made in the GIS parcel fabric via official records, filed maps, and other source documents are uploaded overnight. There is always at least a 6-month delay between when a document is recorded and when the new parcel configuration and corresponding information is available in the online parcel viewer for search or download.Parcel boundary accuracy can vary significantly, with errors ranging from a few feet to several hundred feet. These distortions are caused by several factors such as: the map projection - the error derived when a spherical coordinate system model is projected into a planar coordinate system using the local projected coordinate system; and the ground to grid conversion - the distortion between ground survey measurements and the virtual grid measurements. The aim of the parcel fabric is to construct a visual interpretation that is adequate for basic geographic understanding. This digital data is intended for illustration and demonstration purposes only and is not considered a legal resource, nor legally authoritative.SFAP & CFAP DISCLAIMER: Per the California Code, RTC 606. some legal parcels may have been combined for assessment purposes (CFAP) or separated for assessment purposes (SFAP) into multiple parcels for a variety of tax assessment reasons. SFAP and CFAP parcels are assigned their own APN number and primarily result from a parcel being split by a tax rate area boundary, due to a recorded land use lease, or by request of the property owner. Assessor parcel (APN) maps reflect when parcels have been separated or combined for assessment purposes, and are one legal entity. The goal of the GIS parcel fabric data is to distinguish the SFAP and CFAP parcel configurations from the legal configurations, to convey the legal parcel configurations. This workflow is in progress. Please be advised that while we endeavor to restore SFAP and CFAP parcels back to their legal configurations in the primary parcel fabric layer, SFAP and CFAP parcels may be distributed throughout the dataset. Parcels that have been restored to their legal configurations, do not reflect the SFAP or CFAP parcel configurations that correspond to the current property tax delineations. We intend for parcel reports and parcel data to capture when a parcel has been separated or combined for assessment purposes, however in some cases, information may not be available in GIS for the SFAP/CFAP status of a parcel configuration shown. For help or questions regarding a parcel’s SFAP/CFAP status, or property survey data, please visit Napa County’s Surveying Services or Property Mapping Information.

This feature class includes monitoring data collected nationally to understand the status, condition, and trend of resources on BLM lands. It focuses on the BLM terrestrial core indicators, which include measures of vegetation and soil condition such as plant species cover and composition, plant height, and soil stability. The BLM terrestrial core indicators and methods were identified through a multi-disciplinary process and are described in BLM Technical Note 440 (https://ia800701.us.archive.org/6/items/blmcoreterrestri00mack/BlmCoreTerrestrialIndicatorsAndMethods_88072539.pdf). The Landscape Monitoring Framework (LMF) dataset was collect using the Natural Resource Conservation Services (NRCS) National Resource Inventory (NRI) methodology which mirrors the data collected by the BLM using the Monitoring Manual for Grassland, Shrubland, and Savannah Ecosystems (2nd edition; https://www.landscapetoolbox.org/manuals/monitoring-manual/). Specific instructions for data collectors each year the data were collected can be found at https://grazingland.cssm.iastate.edu/reference-materials. Also see Interpreting Indicators of Rangeland Health (version 5; https://www.landscapetoolbox.org/manuals/iirhv5/).

The monitoring locations were selected using spatially balanced, random sampling approaches and thus provide an unbiased representation of land conditions. However, these data should not be used for statistical or spatial inferences without knowledge of how the sample design was drawn or without calculating spatial weights for the points based on the sample design.

General Definitions

Noxious: Noxious status and growth form (forb, shrub, etc.) are designated for each BLM Administrative State using the state noxious list and local botany expertise often after consulting the USDA plants database. Each state’s noxious list can be found in tblStateSpecies Table, where the Noxious field is ‘YES’ and the StateSpecies field has the two letter state code for the desired state (e.g. ‘NM’).
Non-Noxious: Non-Noxious status and growth form (forb, shrub, etc.) are designated for each BLM Administrative State using the state noxious list and local botany expertise often after consulting the USDA plants database. Non-Noxious status can be found in tblStateSpecies Table, where the Noxious field is ‘NO’ and the StateSpecies field has the two letter state code for the desired state (e.g. ‘NM’).
Sagebrush: Sagebrush species are designated for each BLM Administrative State using local botany expertise. This list can be found for each state in in the tblStateSpecies Table, where SG_Group field is ‘Sagebrush’ and the StateSpecies field has the two letter state code for the desired state (e.g. ‘NM’).
Non-Sagebrush Shrub: Non Sagebrush Shrub species are designated for each BLM Administrative State as the plants determined to be shrubs that are not also Sagebrush. This list can be found for each state in in the tblStateSpecies Table, where SG_Group field is ‘NonSagebrushShrub’ and the StateSpecies field has the two letter state code for the desired state (e.g. ‘NM’).
Tall Stature Perennial Grass: Tall Stature Perennial Grasses status was determined by Sage Grouse biologist and modified slightly in each state and this list can be found in tblStateSpecies in the SG_Group field where SG_Group field is ‘TallStaturePerennialGrass’ and the StateSpecies field has the two letter state code for the desired state (e.g. ‘NM’).
Short Stature Perennial Grass: Short Stature Perennial Grasses status was determined by Sage Grouse biologist and modified slightly in each state and this list can be found in tblStateSpecies in the SG_Group field where SG_Group field is ‘ShortStaturePerennialGrass’ and the StateSpecies field has the two letter state code for the desired state (e.g. ‘NM’).
Preferred Forb: Preferred forb for Sage Grouse status was determined for each state by Sage Grouse biologist and other local experts and this list can be found in tblStateSpecies in the SG_Group field where SG_Group field is ‘PreferredForb’ and the StateSpecies field has the two letter state code for the desired state (e.g. ‘NM’).
Live: The NRI Methods measure Live vs Dead plant cover – i.e. if a pin drop hits a plant part and that plant part is dead (even if it’s on a living plant) that hit is considered a dead hit. Any occurrence of Live Sagebrush calculations indicates that the measurement is only hits that were live plant parts. If a pin hits both a live and a dead plant part in the same pin drop – that hit is considered live.
Growth Habit: The form of a plant, in this dataset the options are Forb, Graminoid, Sedge, Succulent, Shrub, SubShrub, Tree, NonVascular. The most common growth habit for each state was determined by local botany expertise often after consulting the USDA plants database. The growth habit for each species is a state can be found in tblStateSpecies in the GrowthHabitSub field. The values are used to place each plant in a Growth Habit/Duration bin such as Perennial Grass, or Annual Forb, etc.
Duration: The life length of a plant. In this dataset we consider plants to be either Perennial or Annual – Biennial plants are classified as Annuals. The most common duration for each state was determined by local botany expertise often after consulting the USDA plants database. The duration for each species is a state can be found in tblStateSpecies in the Duration field. The values are used to place each plant in a Growth Habit/Duration bin such as Perennial Grass, or Annual Forb, etc.
tblStateSpecies: This table in the database contains the Species Lists for each state. In the instance where a species code does not have a Growth Habit, Growth Habit Sub, or Duration – any occurrence of that code will not be included in calculations that require that information – for example a code that has NonWoody Forb but no information about annual or perennial will not be included in any of the calculations that are perennial or annual forb calculations. Most codes with no information will have the following in the notes – indicating that the only calculation it will be included in is Total Foliar which doesn’t require any growth habit and duration information – “Not used for calculations except Total Foliar.”
