Updated WeeklyThis data set represents tax lots for Jackson County and includes account info (ownership, assessed and real market values, and building information). Data is updated on a weekly basis from assessor tax parcel information. Where there are several different owners on an individual parcel, multiple parcels polygons will exist since parcel to ownership is not a one to one relationship. Some other fields like year built are populated with the first record if multiple exists. For question about parcel updates or issues please contact the Assessor's Office at (541) 774-6059.

Amur honeysuckle bush (Lonicera maackii) and Morrow's honeysuckle (Lonicera morrowii) are two of the most aggressively invasive species to become established throughout areas along the Blue River in metropolitan Kansas City, Missouri. These two large, spreading shrubs (locally referred to as bush honeysuckle in the Kansas City metropolitan area) colonize the understory, crowd out native plants, and may be allelopathic, producing a chemical that restricts growth of native species. Removal efforts have been underway for more than a decade by local conservation groups such as Bridging The Gap and Heartland Conservation Alliance, who are concerned with the loss of native species diversity associated with the spread of bush honeysuckle. Bush honeysuckle produces leaves early in the spring before almost all other vegetation and retains leaves late in the fall after almost all other species have lost their leaves. Appropriately timed imagery can be used during early spring and late fall to map the extent of bush honeysuckle. Using multispectral imagery collected in February 2016 and true color aerial imagery collected in March 2016, a coverage map of bush honeysuckle in the study area was made to investigate the extent of bush honeysuckle in a study area along the middle reach of the Blue River in the Kansas City metropolitan area in Jackson County, Missouri. The coverage map was further classified into unlikely, low-, and high-density bush honeysuckle density at a 30-foot cell size. The unlikely density class correctly predicted the absence and approximate density of bush honeysuckle for 86 percent of the field-verification points, the low-density class predicted the presence and approximate density with 73-percent confidence, and the high-density class was predicted with 67-percent confidence. This data was used to support the project work described in: Ellis, J.T., 2018, Remote sensing of bush honeysuckle in the Middle Blue River Basin, Kansas City, Missouri, 2016–17: U.S. Geological Survey Scientific Investigations Map XXXX, 1 sheet., https://doi.org/xxxx.

WARNING: This dataset is very large! You will have to zoom in to the map in order to visualize the features. Due to its size, downloading is much more efficient if you select "Download file previously generated". A downloadable shapefile is also available here: https://gis.ducks.org/datasets/minnesota-restorable-wetlands-shapefileHISTORY: In October 2000, a Restorable Wetlands Working Group formed to begin mapping all of the restorable wetlands in the glaciated tallgrass Prairie Pothole Region of Minnesota and Iowa. Today, fewer than 10% of the original wetlands - once of unparalleled importance to continental waterbird populations - are left in existence. Fortunately, wetlands once drained for agriculture may be restored to many of their historic functions. Restoration of multiple wetland functions is of utmost effectiveness when focused at priority restoration landscapes, therefore data on the historic distribution of wetlands is an integral part of developing strategic regional habitat restoration plans.Opportunistic wetland restorations often fail to attain out expectations for wetland function. Nevertheless, between $70 - $100,000,000 are spent annually in Minnesota for wetland restoration. A strategic plan for wetland restoration can make these expenditures more effective; however, a strategic wetland restoration plan requires a priori information on the distribution and extent of restorable wetlands. The collective goal of the Restorable Wetlands Working Group is the eventual development of a set of multi-agency decision support tools that collectively comprise a comprehensive environmental management plan for wetlands - all based on the same base data layers and developed in joint consultation. An effort is underway to delineate restorable wetlands in all intensively farmed areas of MN and IA.A pilot project determined the best technique to map drained wetlands in agricultural landscapes was photointerpretation. This pilot project evaluated the accuracy of three potential delineation techniques: digital hydric soils databases, digital elevation models, and manual stereoscopic photointerpretation on high-altitude color infrared aerial photographs. The project covered nearly 4,000 square miles of different land forms and wetland characteristics. After mapping was completed, some 1,500 drained wetlands were observed in the field to assess the accuracy of each technique. Only photointerpretation provided reliable results.One area that fell into the pilot study was the Okabena quadrangle in east-central Jackson County in Minnesota. Okabena vividly illustrates the potential of humans to alter the natural landscape. While Okabena historically encompassed more than 8,940 acres of depressional wetland - 27% of the total area of Okabena - after nearly 100 years of agricultural drainage only 1,280 acres of those original wetlands remain, representing an 86% reduction. When empirical models used to estimate duck pairs on individual wetlands are applied to the change from historic to current wetland habitat within Okabena, they estimate a 92% reduction in the habitat potential for common dabbling duck species.The Okabena quadrangle's wetland density once exceeded that of most of the remaining U.S. Prairie Pothole Region. Without strong incentives for wetland conservation and effective methods to delineate high-priority landscapes for restoration, the Okabena quadrangle foretells one possible future for much of the mixed-grass Prairie Pothole Region further west.The Final Status map was completed in 2012.Contact Information:Rex Johnson United States Fish and Wildlife Service 21932 State Highway 210 Fergus Falls, MN 56537 (218) 736-0606 rex_johnson@fws.govPhotointerpretationNational Aerial Photography Program (NAPP) (1:40,000 scale) color infrared (CIR) photographs acquired in April and May, 1991 and 1992, were viewed in stereo pairs at 5X magnification using a Cartographic Engineering stereoscope. A Mylar overlay was mounted on one photo of each stereo pair and a rectangular work area was delineated on the overlay comprising one-quarter of a USGS 7.5 min topographic quadrangle. A minimum of 4 fiduciary marks were placed on the overlay to enable geographic rectification of digital data covering the work area. One fiduciary mark was placed at the corner of the US Geological Survey (USGS) 7.5 min quadrangle and others at conspicuous road intersections near the other 3 corners of the work area. Drained depressional wetlands were delineated on the Mylar overlay within the work area using a 6X0 (.13 mm diameter) rapidograph pen and indelible ink. Collateral data was consulted during the delineation process. These data consisted of published county soil surveys and descriptions of hydric soils, USDA Farm Service Agency compliance slides (aerial 35 mm slides) acquired in 1993 (immediately after a period of intense precipitation), USGS 7.5 min topographic maps, and National Wetlands Inventory (NWI) maps. Black and white NAPP photographs (1:40,000 scale) acquired primarily in August and September, 1996, were reviewed and rejected as collateral data because they were acquired under dry conditions.
Other specific photointerpretation protocols were:
All drained depressional wetlands, regardless of size, were delineated.
NWI-delineated wetlands with a Ad@ (partially drained) modifier in the classification code were not delineated unless the original delineation failed to encompass the complete historic wetland area.
NWI-delineated wetlands that did not contain a Ad@ modifier in the classification code were delineated if the original delineation did not include the entire historic wetland area.
Wetlands identified on NWI maps which did not exhibit wetland characteristics (i.e. hydrology, hydrophytes, etc) on new (1992) CIR photography were delineated even if no evidence of drainage was apparent.
Wetlands not delineated on NWI maps, and in cropland, were delineated.
Wetlands not delineated on NWI maps, and in grassland, were not delineated unless evidence of drainage was observed on the aerial photo.
Wetlands not delineated on NWI maps, and in trees, were not delineated. Tolerances:
Scanned line data were converted to a polygon using a 6 m fuzzy tolerance. Open polygons were manually closed and cleaned with a 1.2 m fuzzy tolerance which was used for all subsequent data processing.Datafile Description and Attribute Definitions[County_Name]_nwx - National Wetlands Inventory delineations (see https://www.fws.gov/program/national-wetlands-inventory/wetlands-mapper for NWI delineation standards). Note: Wetland classifications in these data often differ slightly from the original NWI classification. NWI wetland classifications were simplified for these data by removing mixed classes and multiple special modifiers, and by standardizing letter case. In each case of mixed classes and multiple special modifiers, the first class or special modifier was retained.
