This data set depicts federal lands having restrictions on access or activities -- that is, lands mangaed by the National Park Service, Defense Department, or Energy Department -- in western North America. The data set was created by reformatting and merging state- and province-based ownership data layers originally acquired from diverse sources (including state GAP programs, USBLM state offices and other sources). For each original dataset 3 additional fields, "Pub_Pvt", "CA_OWN", and "SOURCE" were added and populated based on the specific ownership information contained in the source data. The original coverages were then merged based on the "CA_OWN" field. Finally, NPS, DOD, and DOE lands were selected out of the ownership layer. All work was completed in AcMap 8.3. This product and all source data are available online from SAGEMAP: http://sagemap.wr.usgs.gov.

This spatial data set provides information pertaining to the known land use and disturbance history for lands within the March 2018 administrative boundary of the North Unit of Badlands National Park, South Dakota. Land use and disturbance history presented here are not a comprehensive record of all potential land uses and disturbances but rather a record of known and documented land uses and disturbances based on the best available information. Additional land use and disturbance information may exist but due to time and budget constraints may not have been discovered during the research and development of this data set. The information in this data set was gathered through a variety of sources including but not limited to communication with National Park Service staff, historical documents, land patent records, online information searches, aerial imagery, historical photographs, and spatial data repositories. Data are presented as polygon features, each with a unique area number, its total area (in acres) and the percent of the park the area covers. Polygons were delineated based on existing GIS layers in park records, or, when these were not available, they were digitized using ESRI Arc Map 10.5.1 in conjunction with USDA Natural Resource Conservation Service NAIP orthoimagery based on written descriptions of locations (e.g., Township and Range Survey System) or maps in information sources. History of each polygon is described for one or more of five land use or disturbance types: cultivation, structures, excavation, grazing, and other disturbance. Each land use or disturbance type has six attribute fields. The first field indicates if there is evidence of the land use or disturbance type in the polygon. "Yes" indicates there is evidence and a

Originally produced by the Farm Security Administration, these are georeferenced aerial images from Morton County, North Dakota. Historic print images housed at the Mandan, North Dakota ARS Long-Term Agricultural Research facility were digitized, georeferenced, and processed for use in both professional and consumer level GIS applications, or in photo-editing applications. The original images were produced by the Farm Security Administration to monitor government compliance for farm land agreements. Current applications include assessing land use change over time with regard to erosion, land cover, and natural and man-made structures. Not for use in high precision applications.

Data are intended for use in rural areas and therefore do not include land cover in cities and towns. Land cover classes (tree cover, other land cover, or water) were mapped using an object-based image analysis approach and supervised classification. These data are designed for conducting geospatial analyses and for producing cartographic products. In particular, these data are intended to depict the location of tree cover in the county. The mapping procedures were developed specifically for agricultural landscapes that are dominated by annual crops, rangeland, and pasture and where tree cover is often found in narrow configurations, such as windbreaks and riparian corridors. Because much of the tree cover in agricultural areas of the United States occurs in windbreaks and narrow riparian corridors, many geospatial datasets derived from coarser-resolution satellite data (such as Landsat), do not capture these landscape features. This dataset is intended to address this particular data gap. These data can be downloaded by county at the Forest Service Research Data Archive.

This dataset combines the work of several different projects to create a seamless data set for the contiguous United States. Data from four regional Gap Analysis Projects and the LANDFIRE project were combined to make this dataset. In the northwestern United States (Idaho, Oregon, Montana, Washington and Wyoming) data in this map came from the Northwest Gap Analysis Project. In the southwestern United States (Colorado, Arizona, Nevada, New Mexico, and Utah) data used in this map came from the Southwest Gap Analysis Project. The data for Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, North Carolina, South Carolina, Mississippi, Tennessee, and Virginia came from the Southeast Gap Analysis Project and the California data was generated by the updated California Gap land cover project. The Hawaii Gap Analysis project provided the data for Hawaii. In areas of the county (central U.S., Northeast, Alaska) that have not yet been covered by a regional Gap Analysis Project, data from the Landfire project was used. Similarities in the methods used by these projects made possible the combining of the data they derived into one seamless coverage. They all used multi-season satellite imagery (Landsat ETM+) from 1999-2001 in conjunction with digital elevation model (DEM) derived datasets (e.g. elevation, landform) to model natural and semi-natural vegetation. Vegetation classes were drawn from NatureServe's Ecological System Classification (Comer et al. 2003) or classes developed by the Hawaii Gap project. Additionally, all of the projects included land use classes that were employed to describe areas where natural vegetation has been altered. In many areas of the country these classes were derived from the National Land Cover Dataset (NLCD). For the majority of classes and, in most areas of the country, a decision tree classifier was used to discriminate ecological system types. In some areas of the country, more manual techniques were used to discriminate small patch systems and systems not distinguishable through topography. The data contains multiple levels of thematic detail. At the most detailed level natural vegetation is represented by NatureServe's Ecological System classification (or in Hawaii the Hawaii GAP classification). These most detailed classifications have been crosswalked to the five highest levels of the National Vegetation Classification (NVC), Class, Subclass, Formation, Division and Macrogroup. This crosswalk allows users to display and analyze the data at different levels of thematic resolution. Developed areas, or areas dominated by introduced species, timber harvest, or water are represented by other classes, collectively refered to as land use classes; these land use classes occur at each of the thematic levels. Raster data in both ArcGIS Grid and ERDAS Imagine format is available for download at http://gis1.usgs.gov/csas/gap/viewer/land_cover/Map.aspx Six layer files are included in the download packages to assist the user in displaying the data at each of the Thematic levels in ArcGIS. In adition to the raster datasets the data is available in Web Mapping Services (WMS) format for each of the six NVC classification levels (Class, Subclass, Formation, Division, Macrogroup, Ecological System) at the following links. http://gis1.usgs.gov/arcgis/rest/services/gap/GAP_Land_Cover_NVC_Class_Landuse/MapServer http://gis1.usgs.gov/arcgis/rest/services/gap/GAP_Land_Cover_NVC_Subclass_Landuse/MapServer http://gis1.usgs.gov/arcgis/rest/services/gap/GAP_Land_Cover_NVC_Formation_Landuse/MapServer http://gis1.usgs.gov/arcgis/rest/services/gap/GAP_Land_Cover_NVC_Division_Landuse/MapServer http://gis1.usgs.gov/arcgis/rest/services/gap/GAP_Land_Cover_NVC_Macrogroup_Landuse/MapServer http://gis1.usgs.gov/arcgis/rest/services/gap/GAP_Land_Cover_Ecological_Systems_Landuse/MapServer

The USGS Protected Areas Database of the United States (PAD-US) is the nation's inventory of protected areas, including public open space and voluntarily provided, private protected areas, identified as an A-16 National Geospatial Data Asset in the Cadastral Theme (http://www.fgdc.gov/ngda-reports/NGDA_Datasets.html). PAD-US is an ongoing project with several published versions of a spatial database of areas dedicated to the preservation of biological diversity, and other natural, recreational or cultural uses, managed for these purposes through legal or other effective means. The geodatabase maps and describes public open space and other protected areas. Most areas are public lands owned in fee; however, long-term easements, leases, and agreements or administrative designations documented in agency management plans may be included. The PAD-US database strives to be a complete “best available” inventory of protected areas (lands and waters) including data provided by managing agencies and organizations. The dataset is built in collaboration with several partners and data providers (http://gapanalysis.usgs.gov/padus/stewards/). See Supplemental Information Section of this metadata record for more information on partnerships and links to major partner organizations. As this dataset is a compilation of many data sets; data completeness, accuracy, and scale may vary. Federal and state data are generally complete, while local government and private protected area coverage is about 50% complete, and depends on data management capacity in the state. For completeness estimates by state: http://www.protectedlands.net/partners. As the federal and state data are reasonably complete; focus is shifting to completing the inventory of local gov and voluntarily provided, private protected areas. The PAD-US geodatabase contains over twenty-five attributes and four feature classes to support data management, queries, web mapping services and analyses: Marine Protected Areas (MPA), Fee, Easements and Combined. The data contained in the MPA Feature class are provided directly by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Marine Protected Areas Center (MPA, http://marineprotectedareas.noaa.gov ) tracking the National Marine Protected Areas System. The Easements feature class contains data provided directly from the National Conservation Easement Database (NCED, http://conservationeasement.us ) The MPA and Easement feature classes contain some attributes unique to the sole source databases tracking them (e.g. Easement Holder Name from NCED, Protection Level from NOAA MPA Inventory). The "Combined" feature class integrates all fee, easement and MPA features as the best available national inventory of protected areas in the standard PAD-US framework. In addition to geographic boundaries, PAD-US describes the protection mechanism category (e.g. fee, easement, designation, other), owner and managing agency, designation type, unit name, area, public access and state name in a suite of standardized fields. An informative set of references (i.e. Aggregator Source, GIS Source, GIS Source Date) and "local" or source data fields provide a transparent link between standardized PAD-US fields and information from authoritative data sources. The areas in PAD-US are also assigned conservation measures that assess management intent to permanently protect biological diversity: the nationally relevant "GAP Status Code" and global "IUCN Category" standard. A wealth of attributes facilitates a wide variety of data analyses and creates a context for data to be used at local, regional, state, national and international scales. More information about specific updates and changes to this PAD-US version can be found in the Data Quality Information section of this metadata record as well as on the PAD-US website, http://gapanalysis.usgs.gov/padus/data/history/.) Due to the completeness and complexity of these data, it is highly recommended to review the Supplemental Information Section of the metadata record as well as the Data Use Constraints, to better understand data partnerships as well as see tips and ideas of appropriate uses of the data and how to parse out the data that you are looking for.

Intersecting routes throughout the state were cartographically realigned in preparation of MIRE intersections 6/27/2024 - The data was prepared for HPMS submittal which included updated 2023 AADT values and to keep certain segments consistent with HPMS segments, mainly sample sections and the NHS, values of "BOTH", "NHS" and "SAMPLE" were added to the field HPMS_ROUTE_ID to distinguish these segments from other segments. 3/19/2024 - Miscellaneous updates were done in Dunn County. County wide updates to Grand Forks and Golden Valley counties along with route realignments at intersections throughout the state.12/04/2023 - County wide updates to Walsh, Dunn and Grand Forks Counties and various updates to county/local roads throughout the state including street names in Westhope8/23/2023 - Function Class changes were updated in McLean and Mountrail Counties. Function Class updates also occurred in the cities of Fargo, Valley City, West Fargo and Williston. County-wide updates completed for: Towner, Cavalier, Pembina, Pierce, Benson, Ramsey. 2022 AADTs updated. A road was also removed in Bottineau County at the request off a landowner.5/19/22 - Dunn County contacted the NDDOT with data updates ,Rolette County was updated, and the 2021 AADT's were updated. 2/14/22 - Contacted by the Dunn County Road Dept., updates were made on newly paved road segments. 1/20/2022 - Since the August 2021 update, Morton, Stark, Hettinger, Bowman, Adams, Slope, Grant and Sioux Counties have been updated using 2020 imagery. Surface type has been checked and updated on all functionally classified roads statewide. Function Class changes have been made in the Bismarck/Mandan Metro, Grand Forks County and Burleigh County.6/15/21 - Since the 2019 update, trails and seldom used trails were updated statewide using 2018,and 2019 imagery. Steele, Traill and Griggs Counties have also been updated using 2020 imagery. Surface type has been checked and updated on all functionally classified roads statewide New roads added includes roads in the Fargo, West Fargo, Grand Forks, Jamestown, Bismarck, Mandan, Minot, Dickinson, Watford City and Williston. Ownership on Federal jurisdiction roads were also updated based on an dataset received for FHWA in conjunction with the HPMS submittal. HPMS (Highway Performance Monitoring System) fields were also added in an effort to integrate the roads county data into HPMS and MIRE (Model Inventory Roadway Elements). 9/14/20 - Added the following fields - AADT, AADT_YR, HPMS_MAINTENANCE_OPERATIONS, HPMS_THROUGH_LANES, FUNCTIONAL_CLASS (replaces FUNCTION_CLASS)8/13/19 - The following counties were updated by using a variety of aerial photography: Eddy, Foster and Barnes.

GIS data from the city of Bismarck was used to update Bismarck, GIS data and 2012 aerial photography was used to update the city of Williston, Minot’s city map and the 2010 aerial photography from Ward County was used to update Minot, and 2011 aerial photography and Dickinson’s "working" city map was used to update Dickinson. The counties updated were Williams, Burke, Bottineau, Mountrail, Ward, Wells, Eddy, Foster, Griggs, Steele, and Cass. At the time of this updated, approximately 50% of Stutsman and 50% of Traill Counties are updated. Williams, Bottineau, Ward, and Mountrail roads were inspected from the air and the 2009 NAIP photos were also used to assist the updates. The roads in Williams County were also recoded to match Williams County naming conventions. Williams County CADD map which is on the Williams county web site was used in updating the road names. In Ward County, the 2010 image from Ward County was used to assist in updating Ward County. The 2010 NAIP photos were used to update Wells, Eddy, Foster, Griggs and Steele Counties. Cass was updated with the assistance of the Cass County GIS layer and the 2011 Cass county imagery. 10/3/2011 - County roads were edited in the cities of Fargo, West Fargo, Horace, Minot, Bismarck, Devils Lake, Grafton, Williston, Valley City, and Dickinson. Also, a part of Ward and Mchenry Counties was edited and the county of Renville has been updated. The business routes through Bismarck and Jamestown were also edited. 5/9/2011 - Updated streets in Bismarck, Mandan, Jamestown, Dickinson, West Fargo ( not quite finished yet), and Valley City. Also, corrected the north - south roads in Township 144N Ranges 49 - 53 E, (in Traill County) 10/5/10 - The original Roads_County data was maintained in two separate ArcInfo coverages and then combined each year and exported to the NDHUB infrastructure. These two coverages have now been combined into one SDE feature class and is being edited within the SDE environment. The following changes have been made to feature class. Deleted all the A1 and A2 Fields so a person would have to hunt back and forth to find a road name. Road names consist of the following fields: RTE_ID, STR_TYP, SUF_DIR, & LAN_DIR. The CMC route numbers were moved from the A1_ prefixed fields to the CMC field to better track the CMC route. Created a County Highway field so we can enter the county road number. It consists of the counties name and number. This is still a work in progress. Created FS_RD_Number and FS_RD_Name fields to better track Forest Service roads. Created Bia-RD_Number and BIA_RD_Name fields to better track Bureau of Indian Affairs roads. The following field changes are used for NDDOT specific processes: Created a service level field which is something that may be used in the future. Currently it contains how Walsh County prioritizes their roads. Created a Through and Connecting Route field so we can so select routes through the towns and cities. This was created exclusively for the county base maps. Created an Inset Associated field. This was created so the information in the rd_misc would come into the county routes. In the future, it is planned to be deleted. 6/18/09 - Updated county routes from aerial observation and photo interpretation using 2003, 2005, 2006 NAIP photos and 2008 photography from Designs camera. Counties updated were Golden Valley, Billings, McKenzie, Dunn, Mercer, Oliver, McLean, Sheridan and Burleigh. City streets were rectified in these counties using the 2003 NAIP photos. Observations were performed by Steven Nelson. 4/17/08 - Updated road surface types in NE. Rolette, Pierce, Benson, Towner, Ramsey, Cavalier, Pembina, Walsh, Grand Forks and Nelson from the 2006 aerial observations by Dewaine Olson 2/13/07 - Updated via 2004 NAIP photos: Barnes, Cass, Eddy, Foster, Griggs, Kidder, Steele, Stutsman, Traill, Wells.

Mineral resource occurrence data covering the world, most thoroughly within the U.S. This database contains the records previously provided in the Mineral Resource Data System (MRDS) of USGS and the Mineral Availability System/Mineral Industry Locator System (MAS/MILS) originated in the U.S. Bureau of Mines, which is now part of USGS. The MRDS is a large and complex relational database developed over several decades by hundreds of researchers and reporters. While database records describe mineral resources worldwide, the compilation of information was intended to cover the United States completely, and its coverage of resources in other countries is incomplete. The content of MRDS records was drawn from reports previously published or made available to USGS researchers. Some of those original source materials are no longer available. The information contained in MRDS was intended to reflect the reports used as sources and is current only as of the date of those source reports. Consequently MRDS does not reflect up-to-date changes to the operating status of mines, ownership, land status, production figures and estimates of reserves and resources, or the nature, size, and extent of workings. Information on the geological characteristics of the mineral resource are likely to remain correct, but aspects involving human activity are likely to be out of date.

The DRASTIC model was developed by the US EPA as a way of quantifying an aquifer’s susceptibility to surface contamination events. In 1997, the then NDDoH (now NDDEQ) applied this system to North Dakota’s shallow aquifers as part of the North Dakota Geographic Targeting System for Groundwater Monitoring (GTS). In 2015, it was decided to update the GTS to reflect changes in aquifer boundaries, water use, and land use on a regular basis. The most recent report is available online. (URL https://deq.nd.gov/publications/wq/1_GW/GeoTargetSys/2018_GTS/2019_GTS_Report_October2019.pdf). The DRASTIC model was reapplied to all known shallow groundwater resources within North Dakota in order to obtain the vulnerability rating shown in Attachment 3 of the report.The DRASTIC model consists of seven weighted factors:1. Depth to Water (feet below ground surface)2. Net Recharge (inches per year)3. Aquifer Media (sand and gravel, clay, silt, etc.)4. Soil Media (Loam, Silty Loam, Sand, etc.)5. Topography (Percent Slope)6. Impact of the Vadose Zone (Silt/Clay, Confining Layer, etc.)7. Hydraulic Conductivity (cubic feet per year)Each factor has two associated fields. These fields represent the actual unit value of the factor, and the second field represents the score* assigned to the factor. A score is a rating based on a scale of values, used along with a weighting factor to generate a final DRASTIC score.The final two fields, DRASTIC and P_DRASTIC represent two methods of rating aquifers. The DRASTIC value is a general assessment of contamination susceptibility, while the P_DRASTIC represents a score adjusted to better represent susceptibility to pesticide use contamination. This is generally referred to as a “Rating” in the DRASTIC methodology but has been changed here to remain consistent with the GTS methods of differentiating between values, scores, and ratings. See North Dakota Geographic Targeting System for Groundwater Monitoring for additional information.In December of 2018, an additional assessment was conducted on the water levels of confined aquifers to account for hydrostatic pressure, primarily addressing the Spiritwood Aquifer System. These changes are reflected in the December, 2018 updated GTS report.In January 2021, 68 new aquifers were added to the layer that were included in the "2021 Addendum to the 2019 North Dakota Geographic Targeting System For Groundwater Monitoring". Four aquifer names were also updated and all aquifer boundaries were updated to match North Dakota State Water Commission aquifer delineations and names as of January 2021. The 2021 addendum report can be found online at https://deq.nd.gov/WQ/publications.aspx under "Groundwater Protection Program."

This product is a GeoTIFF image illustrating the Normalized Difference Vegetative Index (NDVI) across the conterminous United States, as well as subsets for the states of North Dakota, South Dakota, Montana, Wyoming, and Idaho. In order to provide a product that is easily interpreted by our users, the Upper Midwest Aerospace Consortium (UMAC) acquires a weekly NDVI product and a Departure from NDVI average product from the EROS Data Center and converts these products into a GeoTIFF image. This GeoTIFF image illustrates for the user the relative greenness of an area and the comparison of a particular week's index to the average of that week historically. The values in the image are no longer linked to real data values, but are rather simply color coded for illustrative purposes. The dataset covers the year 2000 with some gaps.

Efficient quantification of a variety of environmental and geographic characteristics of the study unit requires a digital map of the study-unit boundary that may be processed, together with other digital thematic maps (such as geology or land use), in a geographic information system (GIS). Digital boundary data for the Yellowstone River Basin study unit are included in this data release. The boundary follows drainage divides that were identified chiefly using 1:100,000-scale (50 m accuracy) hypsography.; abstract: As part of the U.S. Geological Survey's National Water-Quality Assessment Program, an investigation of the Yellowstone River Basin study unit is being conducted to document status and trends in surface- and ground-water quality.

The data was unprojected via ArcMap for use on the Hub. The information came from Ken Rood and the Insurance Commission. For years the NDDOT would use ChartPak tape and tape the boundaries on our 11 X 17 County Base Maps. Deciding the need for a digital layer, the mapping section started to create the layer during the winter of 2006/2007. The section line layer was used to snap the Fire District Boundaries to. The layer was created in ArcMap and the names and fire district codes were given to us by the Insurance Commission. A geodatabase was created for the layer and topology rules were created to eliminate overlaps and slivers.
