Aerial Information Systems, Inc. (AIS) was contracted by the Western Riverside County Regional Conservation Authority to perform an update to their original 2005 Western Riverside Vegetation Map. The project was funded through a Local Assistance Grant from the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW). The original vegetation layer was created in 2005 using a baseline image dataset created from 2000/01 Emerge imagery flown in early spring. The original map has been used to monitor and evaluate the habitat in the Western Riverside County Multi-species Habitat Conservation Plan (MSHCP). An update to the original map was needed to address changes in vegetation makeup that have occurred in the intervening years due to widespread and multiple burns in the mapping area, urban expansion, and broadly occurring vegetation succession.The update conforms to the standards set by the National Vegetation Classification System (NVCS) published in 2008 by the Federal Geographic Data Committee. (FGDC-STD-005-2008, Vegetation Subcommittee, Federal Geographic Data Committee, February 2008) The update also adheres to the vegetation types as represented in the 2008-second edition of the Manual of California Vegetation (MCV2). Extensive ground based field data both within and nearby the western Riverside County mapping area has been acquired since the completion of the project in 2005. This additional data has resulted in the reclassification of several vegetation types that are addressed in the updated vegetation map. The mapping area covers 1,017,364 acres of the original 1.2 million acres mapped in the 2005 study. The new study covers portions of the Upper Santa Ana River Valley, Perris Plain, and the foothills of the San Jacinto and Santa Ana Mountains but excludes US Forest Service land. The final geodatabase includes an updated 2012 vegetation map. Vegetative and cartographic comparisons between the newly created 2012 image-based map and the original vegetation map produced in 2005 are described in this report.The Update mapping was performed using baseline digital imagery created in 2012 by the US Department of Agriculture '' Farm Service Agency''s National Agricultural Imagery Program (NAIP). Vegetation units were mapped using the National Vegetation Classification System (NVCS) to the Alliance and Association level as depicted in the MCV2. Approximately 55 percent of the study area is classified to vegetated or naturally occurring sparsely vegetated types; the remaining 45 percent is unvegetated, with over a third (36 percent) in urban development and an additional 9 percent in agriculture. The major tasks for the Update project consisted of updating the original mapping classification to conform to the changes and refinements to the MCV2 classification, updating the existing vegetation map to 2012 conditions, retroactively correcting the 2005 vegetation interpretations, creating the final report and project metadata, and producing the final vegetation geodatabase. After completion of the original 2005 vegetation map, CDFW crosswalked the original mapping units to the NVCS hierarchical names as defined in the Manual of California Vegetation (MCV).The original crosswalk was revised during the Update effort to reflect changes in the original MCV classification as depicted in the second edition (MCV2). Changes were minor and did not result in a significant effort in the updating process. The updating process in many steps is similar to the creation of the original vegetation map. First, photo interpreters review the study area for terrain, environmental features, and probable vegetation types present. Questionable photo signatures on the new baseline imagery (2012 NAIP) were compared to the original 2000/01 Emerge imagery. Photo signatures for a given vegetation polygon were correlated between the two image datasets. Production level updates to the linework and labeling commenced following the correlation of the two baseline image datasets and the subsequent refinement of photo interpretation criteria and biogeographical descriptions of the types. Existing datasets depicting topography, fire history, climate and past vegetation gathering efforts aided photo interpreters in their delineations and floristic assignments during the updating effort. The production updating effort took approximately 11 months.

Established in 1982, Government Code Section 65570 mandates FMMP to report biennially on even numbered years, the conversion of farmland and grazing land, and to provide maps and data to local government and the public. The Important Farmland survey area is based on Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) modern soil surveys covering most non-governmental lands in California; 51 counties are fully or partially surveyed during the 2018 map update. Soil surveys specific to National Forests or other government land units are not surveyed. Beginning in 2002, SSURGO digital soil information was incorporated into the Riverside County Important Farmland data and the 2016 data began to incorporate the new NRCS Gridded Soil Survey (gSSURGO). Data subsequent to 2002 may have acreage and soil line differences due to incorporation of newer NRCS-SSURGO or gSSURGO editions.Prior to the availability of SSURGO or gSSURGO, soil information was hand-transferred from the paper soil surveys. Older versions of the data have not been modified. The land use minimum mapping unit of ten acres has not changed, but digital soil units of less than one acre occur in the gSSURGO-enhanced Important Farmland data. The data between 2002 and 2014 incorporates SSURGO and the interaction of land use and soil components resulted in units of less than ten acres for categories such as Other Land. The 2016 data incorporates gSSURGO and will no longer merge resulting polygons less than one acre for any map category for that and future updates. For more information on gSSURGO, contact the USDA-Natural Resources Conservation Service: https://www.nrcs.usda.govUSDA NRCS soil surveys CA638 (San Diego Area); CA678 (Orange County and Western Part of Riverside County); CA679 (Western Riverside Area); CA680 (Coachella Valley Area); CA681 (Palo Verde Area); AZ656 (Colorado River Indian Reservation, Parts of AZ and CA).Riverside County initial mapping year - 1984.USDA NRCS soil survey CA638 (San Diego Area) was added to the survey area in 2008.Geodetic Model: 1984 to 2012 - North American Datum of 1927; 2014 to 2018 - North American Datum of 1983.2018 county boundaries: California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection, Fire and Resource Assessment Program (FRAP) 2018 version (cnty 18_2) of California Counties GIS data. https://frap.fire.ca.gov2018 Imagery source: USDA Farm Service Agency - National Agricultural Imagery Program (NAIP); Summer 2018; True color; 1 meter resolution. https://www.fsa.usda.govGoogle Incorporated; Various dates; True color; Google Maps and Streetview. https://www.google.com/maps

Geologic Map of the Elsinore 7.5? Quadrangle, Riverside County, California ontains a digital geologic map database of the Elsinore 7.5 - quadrangle, Riverside County, California that includes:

1. ARC/INFO (Environmental Systems Research Institute, http://www.esri.com) version 7.2.1 coverages of the various elements of the geologic map.

2. A Postscript file to plot the geologic map on a topographic base, and containing a Correlation of Map Units diagram (CMU), a Description of Map Units (DMU), and an index map.

3. Portable Document Format (.pdf) files of:

a. This Readme; includes in Appendix I, data contained in els_met.txt

b. The same graphic as plotted in 2 above. Test plots have not produced precise 1:24,000-scale map sheets. Adobe Acrobat page size setting influences map scale.

The Correlation of Map Units and Description of Map Units is in the editorial format of USGS Geologic Investigations Series (I-series) maps but has not been edited to comply with I-map standards. Within the geologic map data package, map units are identified by standard geologic map criteria such as formation-name, age, and lithology. Where known, grain size is indicated on the map by a subscripted letter or letters following the unit symbols as follows: lg, large boulders; b, boulder; g, gravel; a, arenaceous; s, silt; c, clay; e.g. Qyfa is a predominantly young alluvial fan deposit that is arenaceous. Multiple letters are used for more specific identification or for mixed units, e.g., Qfysa is a silty sand. In some cases, mixed units are indicated by a compound symbol; e.g., Qyf2sc. Even though this is an Open-File Report and includes the standard USGS Open-File disclaimer, the report closely adheres to the stratigraphic nomenclature of the U.S. Geological Survey. Descriptions of units can be obtained by viewing or plotting the .pdf file (3b above) or plotting the postscript file (2 above).

[Summary provided by the USGS.]

The data set for the Corona South 7.5' quadrangle was prepared under the U.S. Geological Survey Southern California Areal Mapping Project (SCAMP) as part of an ongoing effort to develop a regional geologic framework of southern California, and to utilize a Geographic Information System (GIS) format to create regional digital geologic databases. These regional databases are being developed as contributions to the National Geologic Map Database of the National Cooperative Geologic Mapping Program of the USGS.

This data set maps and describes the geology of the Corona South 7.5' quadrangle, Riverside and Orange Counties, California. Created using Environmental Systems Research Institute's ARC/INFO software, the data base consists of the following items: (1) a map coverage containing geologic contacts and units, (2) a coverage containing structural data, (3) a coverage containing geologic unit annotation and leaders, and (4) attribute tables for geologic units (polygons), contacts (arcs), and site-specific data (points). In addition, the data set includes the following graphic and text products: (1) a postscript graphic plot-file containing the geologic map, topography, cultural data, a Correlation of Map Units (CMU) diagram, a Description of Map Units (DMU), and a key for point and line symbols, and (2) PDF files of the Readme (including the metadata file as an appendix), and the graphic produced by the Postscript plot file.

The Corona South quadrangle is located near the northern end of the Peninsular Ranges Province. Diagonally crossing the quadrangle is the northern end of the Elsinore Fault zone, a major active right-lateral strike-slip fault zone of the San Andreas Fault system. East of the fault zone is the Perris block and to the west the Santa Ana Mountains block. Basement in the Perris block part of the quadrangle is almost entirely Cretaceous volcanic rocks and granitic rocks of the Cretaceous Peninsular Ranges batholith. Three small exposures of very low metamorphic grade siliceous rocks correlated on the basis of lithology with Mesozoic age rocks are located near the eastern edge of the quadrangle. Exposures of batholithic rocks is restricted to mostly granodiorite of the Cajalco pluton that underlies extensive areas to the east and north. There are limited amounts of undifferentiated granitic rock and one small body of gabbro. The most extensive basement rocks are volcanic shallow intrusives and extrusives of the Estelle Mountain volcanics. The volcanics, predominantly latite and rhyolite, are quarried as a source of crushed rock.

West of the Elsinore Fault zone is a thick section of Bedford Canyon Formation of Jurassic age. This unit consists of incipiently metamorphosed marine sedimentary rocks consisting of argillite, slate, graywacke, impure quartzite, and small pods of limestone. Bedding and other primary sedimentary structures are commonly preserved and tight folds are common. Incipiently developed transposed layering, S1, is locally well developed. Included within the siliceous rocks are small outcrops of fossiliferous limestone than contain a fauna indicating the limestone formed in a so-called black smoker environment. Unconformably overlying and intruding the Bedford Canyon Formation is the Santiago Peak Volcanics of Cretaceous age. These volcanics consist of basaltic andesite, andesite, dacite, rhyolite, breccia and volcanoclastic rocks. Much of the unit has been hydrothermally altered; the alteration was contemporaneous with the volcanism. A minor occurrence of serpentine and associated silica-carbonate rock occurs in association with the volcanics.

Sedimentary rocks of late Cretaceous and Paleogene age and a few Neogene age rocks occur within the Elsinore Fault zone. Marine sandstone of the middle Miocene Topanga Formation occurs within the fault zone southeast of Corona. Underlying the Topanga Formation is the nonmarine undivided Sespe and Vaqueros Formation that are predominantly sandstone. Sandstone, siltstone, and conglomerate of the marine and nonmarine Paleocene Silverado Formation extends essentially along the entire length of the fault zone in the quadrangle. Clay beds in the Silverado Formation have been an important source of clay. In the northwest corner of the quadrangle is a thick, faulted, sedimentary section that ranges in age from Cretaceous to early Pliocene-Miocene.

Emanating from the Santa Ana Mountains is an extensive alluvial fan complex that underlies Corona and the surrounding valleys. This fan complex includes both Pleistocene and Holocene age deposits.

The Elsinore Fault zone at the base of the Santa Ana Mountains splays in the northwestern part of the quadrangle; beyond the quadrangle boundary the name Elsinore Fault is generally not used. The southern splay takes a more western trend and to the west of the quadrangle is termed the Whittier Fault, a major active fault. The eastern splay continues on strike along the east side of the Chino (Puente) Hills north of the quadrangle where it is termed the Chino Fault. The Chino Fault appears to have very limited displacement.

The geologic map data base contains original U.S. Geological Survey data generated by detailed field observation recorded on 1:24,000 scale aerial photographs. The map was created by transferring lines from the aerial photographs to a 1:24,000 scale topographic base. The map was digitized and lines, points, and polygons were subsequently edited using standard ARC/INFO commands. Digitizing and editing artifacts significant enough to display at a scale of 1:24,000 were corrected. Within the database, geologic contacts are represented as lines (arcs), geologic units are polygons, and site-specific data as points. Polygon, arc, and point attribute tables (.pat, .aat, and .pat, respectively) uniquely identify each geologic datum.

CDFW BIOS GIS Dataset, Contact: Lynn Sweet, Description: This map is one in a series of vegetation maps produced by the University of California, Riverside Center for Conservation Biology (UCR CCB) for the Coachella Valley Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan. UCR CCB created a fine-scale vegetation map of the Dos Palmas Conservation Area (Reserve Management Unit 4 under the Plan) that covers approximately 25,800 acres in the Coachella Valley of Riverside County, California.

Government Code 51175-89 directs the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE) to identify areas of very high fire hazard severity zones within Local Responsibility Areas (LRA). Mapping of the areas, referred to as Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones (VHFHSZ), is based on data and models of, potential fuels over a 30-50 year time horizon and their associated expected fire behavior, and expected burn probabilities to quantify the likelihood and nature of vegetation fire exposure (including firebrands) to buildings. Details on the project and specific modeling methodology can be found at http://frap.cdf.ca.gov/projects/hazard/methods.html. Local Responsibility Area VHFHSZ maps were initially developed in the mid-1990s and are now being updated based on improved science, mapping techniques, and data. This specific geographic information system dataset depicts final CAL FIRE recommendations for Very High FHSZs within the local jurisdiction. The process of finalizing these boundaries involved an extensive local review process, the details of which are available at http://frap.cdf.ca.gov/projects/hazard/btnet/ (click on "Continue as guest without logging in"). Local government has 120 days to designate, by ordinance, very high fire hazard severity zones within its jurisdiction after receiving the recommendation. Local government can add additional VHFHSZs. There is no requirement for local government to report their final action to CAL FIRE when the recommended zones are adopted. Consequently, users are directed to the appropriate local entity (county, city, fire department, or Fire Protection District) to determine the status of the local fire hazard severity zone ordinance. To display the areas of VHFHSZ recommended by CAL FIRE, simply display on the attribute HAZ_CLASS, as that has been filtered to represent only areas in the Very High Class, and only for areas that are in Local Responsibility Area (LRA) status.
