The arrival of ArcGIS Pro has brought a challenge to ArcMap users. The new software is sufficiently different in architecture and layout that switching from the old to the new is not a simple process. In some ways, Pro is harder to learn for ArcMap users than for new GIS users, because some workflows have to be unlearned, or at least heavily modified. Current ArcMap users are pressed for time, trying to learn the new software while still completing their daily tasks, so a book that teaches Pro from the start is not an efficient method.Switching to ArcGIS Pro from ArcMap aims to quickly transition ArcMap users to ArcGIS Pro. Rather than teaching Pro from the start, as for a novice user, this book focuses on how Pro is different from ArcMap. Covering the most common and important workflows required for most GIS work, it leverages the user’s prior experience to enable a more rapid adjustment to Pro.AUDIENCEProfessional and scholarly; College/higher education; General/trade.AUTHOR BIOMaribeth H.

This packaged data collection contains two sets of two additional model runs that used the same inputs and parameters as our primary model, with the exception being we implemented a "maximum corridor length" constraint that allowed us to identify and visualize the corridors as being well-connected (≤15km) or moderately connected (≤45km). This is based on an assumption that corridors longer than 45km are too long to sufficiently accommodate dispersal. One of these sets is based on a maximum corridor length that uses Euclidean (straight-line) distance, while the other set is based on a maximum corridor length that uses cost-weighted distance. These two sets of corridors can be compared against the full set of corridors from our primary model to identify the remaining corridors, which could be considered poorly connected. This package includes the following data layers: Corridors classified as well connected (≤15km) based on Cost-weighted Distance Corridors classified as moderately connected (≤45km) based on Cost-weighted Distance Corridors classified as well connected (≤15km) based on Euclidean Distance Corridors classified as moderately connected (≤45km) based on Euclidean Distance Please refer to the embedded metadata and the information in our full report for details on the development of these data layers. Packaged data are available in two formats: Geodatabase (.gdb): A related set of file geodatabase rasters and feature classes, packaged in an ESRI file geodatabase. ArcGIS Pro Map Package (.mpkx): The same data included in the geodatabase, presented as fully-symbolized layers in a map. Note that you must have ArcGIS Pro version 2.0 or greater to view.

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.

This layer contains the fire perimeters from the previous calendar year, and those dating back to 1878, for California. Perimeters are sourced from the Fire and Resource Assessment Program (FRAP) and are updated shortly after the end of each calendar year. Information below is from the FRAP web site. There is also a tile cache version of this layer.
About the Perimeters in this Layer
Initially CAL FIRE and the USDA Forest Service jointly developed a fire perimeter GIS layer for public and private lands throughout California. The data covered the period 1950 to 2001 and included USFS wildland fires 10 acres and greater, and CAL FIRE fires 300 acres and greater. BLM and NPS joined the effort in 2002, collecting fires 10 acres and greater. Also in 2002, CAL FIRE’s criteria expanded to include timber fires 10 acres and greater in size, brush fires 50 acres and greater in size, grass fires 300 acres and greater in size, wildland fires destroying three or more structures, and wildland fires causing $300,000 or more in damage. As of 2014, the monetary requirement was dropped and the damage requirement is 3 or more habitable structures or commercial structures.
In 1989, CAL FIRE units were requested to fill in gaps in their fire perimeter data as part of the California Fire Plan. FRAP provided each unit with a preliminary map of 1950-89 fire perimeters. Unit personnel also verified the pre-1989 perimeter maps to determine if any fires were missing or should be re-mapped. Each CAL FIRE Unit then generated a list of 300+ acre fires that started since 1989 using the CAL FIRE Emergency Activity Reporting System (EARS). The CAL FIRE personnel used this list to gather post-1989 perimeter maps for digitizing. The final product is a statewide GIS layer spanning the period 1950-1999.
CAL FIRE has completed inventory for the majority of its historical perimeters back to 1950. BLM fire perimeters are complete from 2002 to the present. The USFS has submitted records as far back as 1878. The NPS records date to 1921.
About the Program
FRAP compiles fire perimeters and has established an on-going fire perimeter data capture process. CAL FIRE, the United States Forest Service Region 5, the Bureau of Land Management, and the National Park Service jointly develop the fire perimeter GIS layer for public and private lands throughout California at the end of the calendar year. Upon release, the data is current as of the last calendar year.
The fire perimeter database represents the most complete digital record of fire perimeters in California. However it is still incomplete in many respects. Fire perimeter database users must exercise caution to avoid inaccurate or erroneous conclusions. For more information on potential errors and their source please review the methodology section of these pages.
The fire perimeters database is an Esri ArcGIS file geodatabase with three data layers (feature classes):
There are many uses for fire perimeter data. For example, it is used on incidents to locate recently burned areas that may affect fire behavior (see map left).
Other uses include:
Important Note: This item is in mature support as of September 2023 and will be retired in December 2025. A new version of this item is available for your use. Esri recommends updating your maps and apps to use the new version.The USGS Protected Areas Database of the United States (PAD-US) is the official inventory of public parks and other protected open space. The spatial data in PAD-US represents public lands held in trust by thousands of national, state and regional/local governments, as well as non-profit conservation organizations.GAP 1 and 2 areas are primarily managed for biodiversity, GAP 3 are managed for multiple uses including conservation and extraction, GAP 4 no known mandate for biodiversity protection. Provides a general overview of protection status including management designations. PAD-US is published by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Science Analytics and Synthesis (SAS), Gap Analysis Project (GAP). GAP produces data and tools that help meet critical national challenges such as biodiversity conservation, recreation, public health, climate change adaptation, and infrastructure investment. See the GAP webpage for more information about GAP and other GAP data including species and land cover.The USGS Protected Areas Database of the United States (PAD-US) classifies lands into four GAP Status classes:GAP Status 1 - Areas managed for biodiversity where natural disturbances are allowed to proceedGAP Status 2 - Areas managed for biodiversity where natural disturbance is suppressedGAP Status 3 - Areas protected from land cover conversion but subject to extractive uses such as logging and miningGAP Status 4 - Areas with no known mandate for protectionIn the United States, areas that are protected from development and managed for biodiversity conservation include Wilderness Areas, National Parks, National Wildlife Refuges, and Wild & Scenic Rivers. Understanding the geographic distribution of these protected areas and their level of protection is an important part of landscape-scale planning.

What can you do with this Feature Layer?Feature layers work throughout the ArcGIS system. Generally your work flow with feature layers will begin in ArcGIS Online or ArcGIS Pro. Below are just a few of the things you can do with a feature service in Online and Pro.ArcGIS OnlineAdd this layer to a map in the map viewer. The layer is limited to scales of approximately 1:1,000,000 or larger but a vector tile layer created from the same data can be used at smaller scales to produce a webmap that displays across the full range of scales. The layer or a map containing it can be used in an application.Change the layer’s transparency and set its visibility rangeOpen the layer’s attribute table and make selections and apply filters. Selections made in the map or table are reflected in the other. Center on selection allows you to zoom to features selected in the map or table and show selected records allows you to view the selected records in the table.Change the layer’s style and filter the data. For example, you could set a filter for Gap Status Code = 3 to create a map of only the GAP Status 3 areas.Add labels and set their propertiesCustomize the pop-upArcGIS ProAdd this layer to a 2d or 3d map. The same scale limit as Online applies in ProUse as an input to geoprocessing. For example, copy features allows you to select then export portions of the data to a new feature class. Note that many features in the PAD-US database overlap. For example wilderness area designations overlap US Forest Service and other federal lands. Any analysis should take this into consideration. An imagery layer created from the same data set can be used for geoprocessing analysis with larger extents and eliminates some of the complications arising from overlapping polygons.Change the symbology and the attribute field used to symbolize the dataOpen table and make interactive selections with the mapModify the pop-upsApply Definition Queries to create sub-sets of the layerThis layer is part of the Living Atlas of the World that provides an easy way to explore the landscape layers and many other beautiful and authoritative maps on hundreds of topics.
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.

A Right-of-Way Construction Permit is required for any work performed within the City of Richardson's Right-of-Way or Easements. Work must be performed in accordance with local Ordinances and Right of Way Standard Construction Details. This zipfile contains a layer file and a file geodatabase with two feature classes. The 'Districts' polygon feature class is just for reference so that the applicant can determine which district the new asset is in (the layer file will have the saved symbology for ease of use). The 'WirelessFacility' point feature class is where the applicant will edit and input the new asset. There are domains on this feature class which will act as 'drop-downs' when editing.Be sure to unzip the file after downloading so that it can be viewed in ArcMap or ArcGIS Pro.For more information about the geodatabase download the ROW GIS Data Template Instructions.

A combination of stormwater system data throughout Stark County, Ohio. The data is combined using an ETL via the data interoperability extension for ArcGIS Pro. Each weekend, the ETL is automatically ran via Python/Windows Task Scheduler to update the data with any changes from the past week from each of the source datasets. The source data is stored in ArcGIS SDE databases that Stark County GIS (SCGIS) provides for departments, cities, villages, and townships within the county. SCGIS currently maintains SDE databases for Canton, Alliance, Louisville, North Canton, Beach City, Easton Canton, Minerva, Meyers Lake, Stark County Engineer (SCE), and each of the townships. In addition to those datasets (which are updated weekly), this layer also includes data from the cities of Massillon and Canal Fulton, which are not stored in databases maintained by SCGIS. Data for those two cities is updated separately as new iterations become available.As this layer encompasses the entire county, source feature classes are consolidated into 4 layers to improve performance on ArcGIS Online. Discharge points are the point at which water exits part of the stormwater system, such as the outlet of a pipe or ditch. It includes outfalls defined under NPDES Phase II. Structures includes both inlets (catch basins, yard drains, etc.) and manholes. Pipes includes storm sewers, as well as culverts (pipes in which both ends are daylit). Finally, the ditches layer includes roadside ditches, as well as off-road ditches in some areas/instances.
