TwitterBelow is a quick rundown of the tools available in the web map! The first new thing you may notice is the ability to search from in the splash window that appears. This hopefully reduces the number of clicks people will need to get to their information. There's the same search bar in the upper left once you click out of the splash screen. The Query tool has existed in this form on the sub-maps, but now it is here with all the layers. I want to highlight "Search by Legal Description" as a nifty way to find parcels associated with a specific subdivision. I also want to highlight the "find tax parcels/addresses within specified distance" queries. Those let you select every tax parcel or address within a feature you draw (a point, line, or polygon). This is good for finding what properties within a distance need to be notified of something. That can then be exported as an Excel table (csv). This can also help you identify whether something falls within certain setbacks. The Basemaps is the same as it was before. I haven't gotten the Virginia Geographic Information Network imagery from 2017 and 2021 to successfully appear here, but you can find that in the map layers at the bottom. We have a lot of data layers! I currently have the default as every group expanded out, so you can scroll and see all the layers, but you can go through and click to collapse any groups you don't want expanded. Okay, the select tool is super cool, and lets you really dive into some fun GIS attribute querying! As an example, you can select all the FEMA Flood Zones that are AO, then select all the tax parcels that are affected by (intersect) those AO zones! These results can also be exported into an Excel table. A great deal of GIS analysis is possible just using Select by Attributes and Select by Location, so this tool really ramps up the power of the web map so it can do some of what the desktop GIS software can do! Continuing our tour of the tools, we come to the coordinates tool. This one also existed already in the sub-maps, but is now with all the layers. Unfortunately, the tool is a little annoying, and won't retain my defaults. You have to click the little plus sign target thing, then you can click on the map to get the coordinates. The coordinate system defaults to WGS 1984 Web Mercator (the same thing Google Maps uses), but much of our data uses NAD 1983 State Plane Virginia South, so you can click the dropdown arrow to the right to select either one. Exciting news related to this: in 2026 they are releasing the new coordinate system on which they've been working! It should make the data in GIS more closely align with features in reality, but you will not need to change any of the ways you interact with the data. The next tool is the Elevation Profile tool. It's very nifty! You can draw a profile to see how the elevation changes, and as you move your cursor along the graph, it shows where along your transect you are! It helps explain some of the floodplain and sea level rise boundaries. You know the measure tool well, but this one retains the defaults in feet and acres, which is very exciting! No more having to change the units every time you want to measure (unless you want other than feet and acres). The draw tool is our penultimate stop on the tour! It is largely the same as what existed on the old public web map, so I shan't delve into it here. When you draw a feature now though, it appears in the layers tab (until you close the map), which can let you toggle the drawing on and off to work with what is beneath it. It can help as you plan in where you might want to put new constructions. The print tool is also largely the same, but I've been finding the tool in this new Experience Builder format is less buggy than the one in the retired Web App Builder that made the old Public Web Map.

TwitterThis is a collection of all GPS- and computer-generated geospatial data specific to the Alpine Treeline Warming Experiment (ATWE), located on Niwot Ridge, Colorado, USA. The experiment ran between 2008 and 2016, and consisted of three sites spread across an elevation gradient. Geospatial data for all three experimental sites and cone/seed collection locations are included in this package. ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– Geospatial files include cone collection, experimental site, seed trap, and other GPS location/terrain data. File types include ESRI shapefiles, ESRI grid files or Arc/Info binary grids, TIFFs (.tif), and keyhole markup language (.kml) files. Trimble-imported data include plain text files (.txt), Trimble COR (CorelDRAW) files, and Trimble SSF (Standard Storage Format) files. Microsoft Excel (.xlsx) and comma-separated values (.csv) files corresponding to the attribute tables of many files within this package are also included. A complete list of files can be found in this document in the “Data File Organization” section in the included Data User's Guide. Maps are also included in this data package for reference and use. These maps are separated into two categories, 2021 maps and legacy maps, which were made in 2010. Each 2021 map has one copy in portable network graphics (.png) format, and the other in .pdf format. All legacy maps are in .pdf format. .png image files can be opened with any compatible programs, such as Preview (Mac OS) and Photos (Windows). All GIS files were imported into geopackages (.gpkg) using QGIS, and double-checked for compatibility and data/attribute integrity using ESRI ArcGIS Pro. Note that files packaged within geopackages will open in ArcGIS Pro with “main.” preceding each file name, and an extra column named “geom” defining geometry type in the attribute table. The contents of each geospatial file remain intact, unless otherwise stated in “niwot_geospatial_data_list_07012021.pdf/.xlsx”. This list of files can be found as an .xlsx and a .pdf in this archive. As an open-source file format, files within gpkgs (TIFF, shapefiles, ESRI grid or “Arc/Info Binary”) can be read using both QGIS and ArcGIS Pro, and any other geospatial softwares. Text and .csv files can be read using TextEdit/Notepad/any simple text-editing software; .csv’s can also be opened using Microsoft Excel and R. .kml files can be opened using Google Maps or Google Earth, and Trimble files are most compatible with Trimble’s GPS Pathfinder Office software. .xlsx files can be opened using Microsoft Excel. PDFs can be opened using Adobe Acrobat Reader, and any other compatible programs. A selection of original shapefiles within this archive were generated using ArcMap with associated FGDC-standardized metadata (xml file format). We are including these original files because they contain metadata only accessible using ESRI programs at this time, and so that the relationship between shapefiles and xml files is maintained. Individual xml files can be opened (without a GIS-specific program) using TextEdit or Notepad. Since ESRI’s compatibility with FGDC metadata has changed since the generation of these files, many shapefiles will require upgrading to be compatible with ESRI’s latest versions of geospatial software. These details are also noted in the “niwot_geospatial_data_list_07012021” file.

TwitterDESCRIPTION OF ORIGINAL PARCELS DATASET HOSTED BY NJ OGIS: The statewide composite of parcels (cadastral) data for New Jersey is made available here in Web Mercator projection (3857.) It was developed during the Parcels Normalization Project in 2008-2014 by the NJ Office of Information Technology, Office of GIS (NJOGIS). The normalized parcels data are compatible with the New Jersey Department of Treasury MOD-IV system currently used by Tax Assessors and selected attributes from that system have been joined with the parcels in this dataset. Please see the NJGIN parcel dataset page for additional resources, including a downloadable zip file of the statewide data: https://njgin.nj.gov/njgin/edata/parcels/index.html#!/This composite of parcels data serves as one of New Jersey's framework GIS data sets. Stewardship and maintenance of the data will continue to be the purview of county and municipal governments, but the statewide composite will be maintained by NJOGIS.Parcel attributes were normalized to a standard structure, specified in the NJ GIS Parcel Mapping Standard, to store parcel information and provide a PIN (parcel identification number) field that can be used to match records with suitably-processed property tax data. The standard is available for viewing and download at https://njgin.state.nj.us/oit/gis/NJ_NJGINExplorer/docs/NJGIS_ParcelMappingStandardv3.2.pdf. The PIN also can be constructed from attributes available in the MOD-IV Tax List Search table (see below).This dataset includes a large number of additional attributes from matched MOD-IV records; however, not all MOD-IV records match to a parcel, for reasons explained elsewhere in this metadata record. The statewide property tax table, including all MOD-IV records, is available as a separate download "MOD-IV Tax List Search Plus Database of New Jersey." Users who need only the parcel boundaries with limited attributes may obtain those from a separate download "Parcels Composite of New Jersey ". Also available separately are countywide parcels and tables of property ownership and tax information extracted from the NJ Division of Taxation database.The polygons delineated in this dataset do not represent legal boundaries and should not be used to provide a legal determination of land ownership. Parcels are not survey data and should not be used as such. Please note that these parcel datasets are not intended for use as tax maps. They are intended to provide reasonable representations of parcel boundaries for planning and other purposes. Please see Data Quality / Process Steps for details about updates to this composite since its first publication.

TwitterThe National Hydrography Dataset (NHD) is a feature-based database that interconnects and uniquely identifies the stream segments or reaches that make up the nation's surface water drainage system. NHD data was originally developed at 1:100,000-scale and exists at that scale for the whole country. This high-resolution NHD, generally developed at 1:24,000/1:12,000 scale, adds detail to the original 1:100,000-scale NHD. (Data for Alaska, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands was developed at high-resolution, not 1:100,000 scale.) Local resolution NHD is being developed where partners and data exist. The NHD contains reach codes for networked features, flow direction, names, and centerline representations for areal water bodies. Reaches are also defined on waterbodies and the approximate shorelines of the Great Lakes, the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans and the Gulf of Mexico. The NHD also incorporates the National Spatial Data Infrastructure framework criteria established by the Federal Geographic Data Committee.Selecting Only Major Rivers in the NHD using ArcMapfrom the USGS National Hydrography Dataset Newsletter, Vol. 13, No. 8, June 2014, by Jeff Simley, USGSThe NHD contains a lot of information, but for some applications, particularly those at small scales, it needs to be generalized. One approach is to show only “major rivers” in the NHD. A quick technique to show only the named rivers can easily be done by selecting NHDFlowline GNIS_NAME > ‘0’. See: ftp://nhdftp.usgs.gov/Hydro_Images/BlueRiver_Named_Rivers.jpgTo be even more restrictive, major rivers can be defined as only “double-line” or polygonal rivers, which appear in NHDArea. This is more complicated, and takes a few minutes, but works well. This approach finds the Artifical Path of those polygonal rivers:1. Find the polygonal rivers: Select by Attributes NHDArea where FType = 460 - Stream/River.2. Now it is necessary to find the NHDFlowline Artificial Paths of those rivers. Artificial Paths are linked to the polygon they are inside of using the field WBArea_Permanent_Identier. Create the link by doing a relate between NHDFlowline (key WBArea_Permanent_Identifier) and NHDArea (key Permanent_Identifier)3. Invoke the relationship and select the corresponding NHDFlowlines.4. For clarity, turn off the NHDArea selected features (the polygonal rivers).5. Now the candidate artificial paths are selected, but there are two problems: One is that the rivers running through lakes are not selected (which they should be), and two, the “stubs”of the tributary artificial paths have been selected (which are not wanted). 6. Next order of business is to eliminate the minor stubs with no name. Select from selection by Attributes NHDFlowline GNIS_Name > ‘0’. Now only stubs that are named remain. 7. Some of the remaining candidate artificial paths are wanted (the major rivers) and some are not (the named stubs). The named stubs can be eliminated by virtue of the fact that there are very few of them (normally one record per name) and those with low counts can be eliminated.8. Open the NHDFlowline attribute table. Some records are selected (the remaining candidate list) and some are not (all other flowlines making up “minor rivers”). Summarize the number of records under the field GNIS_Name and write this out as Sum_Output.dbf which you then add to ArcMap.9. Now the goal is to find the names of the major rivers. These will be rivers with a record count greater than 1. The extraneous non-named stubs have already been eliminated, which helps reduce the load. The next steps will select only records with significant counts, that is, the major rivers. This will allow deselecting the remaining NHDFlowlines and in the process eliminate the named stubs.10. It is necessary to relate Sum_Output (key GNIS_Name) with NHDFlowline (key GNIS_Name) to make it possible to use the GNIS_NAME’s to select the major rivers in NHDFlowline.11. Open the Sum_Output table. Note the field Count_GNIS_Name which will be used to count records. This will eliminate named stubs, leaving just the major rivers selected. Create a New Selection, Cnt_GNIS_N > 1. Leave the table open. Note major rivers are selected.Invoke the relationship to select the major rivers. In ArcMap all “major rivers” have been selected, even rivers through lakes. See ftp://nhdftp.usgs.gov/Hydro_Images/Blue_River_Selected.jpg12. Select only those features with "River" in the GNIS Name.

TwitterThe Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) produces Flood Insurance Rate maps and identifies Special Flood Hazard Areas as part of the National Flood Insurance Program's floodplain management. Special Flood Hazard Areas have regulations that include the mandatory purchase of flood insurance for holders of federally regulated mortgages. In addition, this layer can help planners and firms avoid areas of flood risk and also avoid additional cost to carry insurance for certain planned activities. Dataset SummaryPhenomenon Mapped: Flood Hazard AreasGeographic Extent: Contiguous United States, Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, Guam, US Virgin Islands, Northern Mariana Islands and American Samoa.Projection: Web Mercator Auxiliary SphereData Coordinate System: USA Contiguous Albers Equal Area Conic USGS version (contiguous US, Puerto Rico, US Virgin Islands), WGS 1984 Albers (Alaska), Hawaii Albers Equal Area Conic (Hawaii), Western Pacific Albers Equal Area Conic (Guam, Northern Mariana Islands, and American Samoa)Cell Sizes: 10 meters (default), 30 meters, and 90 metersUnits: NoneSource Type: ThematicPixel Type: Unsigned integerSource: Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA)Update Frequency: AnnualPublication Date: May 7, 2025 This layer is derived from the May 7, 2025 version Flood Insurance Rate Map feature class S_FLD_HAZ_AR. The vector data were then flagged with an index of 94 classes, representing a unique combination of values displayed by three renderers. (In three resolutions the three renderers make nine processing templates.) Repair Geometry was run on the set of features, then the features were rasterized using the 94 class index at a resolutions of 10, 30, and 90 meters, using the Polygon to Raster tool and the "MAXIMUM_COMBINED_AREA" option. Not every part of the United States is covered by flood rate maps. This layer compiles all the flood insurance maps available at the time of publication. To make analysis easier, areas that were NOT mapped by FEMA for flood insurance rates no longer are served as NODATA but are filled in with a value of 250, representing any unmapped areas which appear in the US Census boundary of the USA states and territories. The attribute table corresponding to value 250 will indicate that the area was not mapped.What can you do with this layer?This layer is suitable for both visualization and analysis across the ArcGIS system. This layer can be combined with your data and other layers from the ArcGIS Living Atlas of the World in ArcGIS Online and ArcGIS Pro to create powerful web maps that can be used alone or in a story map or other application. Because this layer is part of the ArcGIS Living Atlas of the World it is easy to add to your map:In ArcGIS Online, you can add this layer to a map by selecting Add then Browse Living Atlas Layers. A window will open. Type "flood hazard areas" in the search box and browse to the layer. Select the layer then click Add to Map.In ArcGIS Pro, open a map and select Add Data from the Map Tab. Select Data at the top of the drop down menu. The Add Data dialog box will open on the left side of the box, expand Portal if necessary, then select Living Atlas. Type "flood hazard areas" in the search box, browse to the layer then click OK. In ArcGIS Pro you can use the built-in raster functions to create custom extracts of the data. Imagery layers provide fast, powerful inputs to geoprocessing tools, models, or Python scripts in Pro. The ArcGIS Living Atlas of the World provides an easy way to explore many other beautiful and authoritative maps on hundreds of topics like this one. Processing TemplatesCartographic Renderer - The default. These are meaningful classes grouped by FEMA which group its own Flood Zone Type and Subtype fields. This renderer uses FEMA's own cartographic interpretations of its flood zone and zone subtype fields to help you identify and assess risk. Flood Zone Type Renderer - Specifically renders FEMA FLD_ZONE (flood zone) attribute, which distinguishes the original, broadest categories of flood zones. This renderer displays high level categories of flood zones, and is less nuanced than the Cartographic Renderer. For example, a fld_zone value of X can either have moderate or low risk depending on location. This renderer will simply render fld_zone X as its own color without identifying "500 year" flood zones within that category.Flood Insurance Requirement Renderer - Shows Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA) true-false status. This may be helpful if you want to show just the places where flood insurance is required. A value of True means flood insurance is mandatory in a majority of the area covered by each 10m pixel. Each of these three renderers have templates at three different raster resolutions depending on your analysis needs. To include the layer in web maps to serve maps and queries, the 10 meter renderers are the preferred option. These are served with overviews and render at all resolutions. However, when doing analysis of larger areas, we now offer two coarser resolutions of 30 and 90 meters in processing templates for added convenience and time savings.Data DictionaryMaking a copy of your area of interest using copyraster in arcgis pro will copy the layer's attribute table to your network alongside the local output raster.

TwitterOverview:This document describes the 2021 accessibility data released by the Accessibility Observatory at the University of Minnesota. The data are included in the National Accessibility Evaluation Project for 2021, and this information can be accessed for each state in the U.S. at https://access.umn.edu/research/america. The following sections describe the format, naming, and content of the data files.Data Formats: The data files are provided in a Geopackage format. Geopackage (.gpkg) files are an open-source, geospatial filetype that can contain multiple layers of data in a single file, and can be opened with most GIS software, including both ArcGIS and QGIS.Within this zipfile, there are six geopackage files (.gpkg) structured as follows. Each of them contains the blocks shapes layer, results at the block level for all LEHD variables (jobs and workers), with a layer of results for each travel time (5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, 60 minutes). {MPO ID}_tr_2021_0700-0859-avg.gpkg = Average Transit Access Departing Every Minute 7am-9am{MPO ID}_au_2021_08.gpkg = Average Auto Access Departing 8am{MPO ID}_bi_2021_1200_lts1.gpkg = Average Bike Access on LTS1 Network{MPO ID}_bi_2021_1200_lts2.gpkg = Average Bike Access on LTS2 Network{MPO ID}_bi_2021_1200_lts3.gpkg = Average Bike Access on LTS3 Network{MPO ID}_bi_2021_1200_lts4.gpkg = Average Bike Access on LTS4 NetworkFor mapping and geospatial analysis, the blocks shape layer within each geopackage can be joined to the blockid of the access attribute data. Opening and Using Geopackages in ArcGIS:Unzip the zip archiveUse the "Add Data" function in Arc to select the .gpkg fileSelect which layer(s) are needed — always select "main.blocks" as this layer contains the Census block shapes; select any other attribute data layers as well.There are three types of layers in the geopackage file — the "main.blocks" layer is the spatial features layer, and all other layers are either numerical attribute data tables, or the "fieldname_descriptions" metadata layer. The numerical attribute layers are named with the following format:[mode]_[threshold]_minutes[mode] is a two-character code indicating the transport mode used[threshold] is an integer indicating the travel time threshold used for this data layerTo use the data spatially, perform a join between the "main.blocks" layer and the desired numerical data layer, using either the numerical "id" fields, or 15-digit "blockid" fields as join fields.

TwitterWetlands are areas where water is present at or near the surface of the soil during at least part of the year. Wetlands provide habitat for many species of plants and animals that are adapted to living in wet habitats. Wetlands form characteristic soils, absorb pollutants and excess nutrients from aquatic systems, help buffer the effects of high flows, and recharge groundwater. Data on the distribution and type of wetland play an important role in land use planning and several federal and state laws require that wetlands be considered during the planning process.The National Wetlands Inventory (NWI) was designed to assist land managers in wetland conservation efforts. The NWI is managed by the US Fish and Wildlife Service.Dataset SummaryPhenomenon Mapped: WetlandsCoordinate System: Web Mercator Auxiliary SphereExtent: 50 United States plus Puerto Rico, the US Virgin Islands and the Northern Mariana IslandsVisible Scale: The data is visible at scales from 1:144,000 to 1:1,000Resolution/Tolerance: 0.0001 meters/0.001 metersNumber of Features: 34,954,623 diced, after applying a 50,000 vertex limit to an original set of 34,950,653 featuresFeature Limit: 10,000Source: U.S. Fish and Wildlife ServicePublication Date: September 29, 2020ArcGIS Server URL: https://landscape11.arcgis.com/arcgis/This layer was created from the September 29, 2020 version of the NWI.

TwitterSoil map units are the basic geographic unit of the Soil Survey Geographic Database (SSURGO). The SSURGO dataset is a compilation of soils information collected over the last century by the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS). Map units delineate the extent of different soils. Data for each map unit contains descriptions of the soil’s components, productivity, unique properties, and suitability interpretations.Each soil type has a unique combination of physical, chemical, nutrient and moisture properties. Soil type has ramifications for engineering and construction activities, natural hazards such as landslides, agricultural productivity, the distribution of native plant and animal life and hydrologic and other physical processes. Soil types in the context of climate and terrain can be used as a general indicator of engineering constraints, agriculture suitability, biological productivity and the natural distribution of plants and animals. Data from the gSSURGO databasewas used to create this layer.

TwitterThis data has been clipped from the USA Critical Habitat layer on ArcGIS Living Atlas of the World. It is intended for Esri tutorial purposes only and may not reflect the current state of critical habitat. Use the USA Critical Habitat layer for authoritative data.In the United States, species in danger of extinction are protected by the Endangered Species Act. As part of these protections, the US Fish and Wildlife Service can designate critical habitat. Activities that are carried out, authorized, or funded by the federal government that are likely to adversely modify or destroy critical habitat are generally prohibited by the Endangered Species Act.Because the Endangered Species Act prohibits federal actions that degrade critical habitat, limitations may be placed on land management and other projects. Proposed federal actions that may adversely modify or destroy critical habitat require that the agency or private entity proposing the action consult with the appropriate regulatory agency (US Fish and Wildlife Service or the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration).The consultation and permitting process often relies heavily on GIS to organize, analyze, and display key information. This layer provides the information necessary to begin a landscape assessment of the distribution of critical habitat.Dataset SummaryPhenomenon Mapped: Critical Habitat for Threatened and Endangered species. Coordinate System: Web Mercator Auxiliary SphereExtent: 50 United States plus Puerto Rico, the US Virgin Islands, Guam, and the Northern Mariana IslandsVisible Scale: The data is visible at all scales but draws best at scales larger than 1: 2,000,000Source: U.S. Fish and Wildlife ServicePublication Date: June 14, 2019This layer displays critical habitat data (June 14, 2019) from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS). The service contains 2 layers, lines and polygons, which correspond to the two shape files included in the original data. The source data for this layer are available here. Esri modified the attributes of these data to facilitate their use. A Species Type field was added and populated denoting the taxonomic group of each species and a field was added to link to the USFWS species profile for each species. The scientific and common name fields were edited to standardize capitalization and remove special characters. Several fields that did not contain data were removed. Attributes included in this layer are: Common NameScientific NameSpecies TypeSpecies CodePopulation CodeCritical Habitat Status - Final or ProposedFederal Register Publication Citation - The pop-ups for this field are pre-configured to link to the Federal Register search page for this value.Federal Register Publication DateListing Status - Threatened, Endangered, Proposed Threatened, or Proposed EndangeredLink to USFWS Species ProfileWhat can you do with this layer? This layer is suitable for both visualization and analysis. It can be used in ArcGIS Online in web maps and applications and can be used in ArcGIS Desktop.The feature service is symbolized on the status of the critical habitat for each species. In ArcGIS Online you can change symbology.The data can also be filtered. For example selecting common name as the field and northern spotted owl as the value in the filter will return a map displaying only northern spotted owl critical habitat.The data can be exported to a file geodatabase, a shape file or other format and downloaded using the Export Data button on the top right of the description page.This 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.

TwitterThe National Hydrography Dataset (NHD) is a feature-based database that interconnects and uniquely identifies the stream segments or reaches that make up the nation's surface water drainage system. NHD data was originally developed at 1:100,000-scale and exists at that scale for the whole country. This high-resolution NHD, generally developed at 1:24,000/1:12,000 scale, adds detail to the original 1:100,000-scale NHD. (Data for Alaska, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands was developed at high-resolution, not 1:100,000 scale.) Local resolution NHD is being developed where partners and data exist. The NHD contains reach codes for networked features, flow direction, names, and centerline representations for areal water bodies. Reaches are also defined on waterbodies and the approximate shorelines of the Great Lakes, the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans and the Gulf of Mexico. The NHD also incorporates the National Spatial Data Infrastructure framework criteria established by the Federal Geographic Data Committee.Selecting Only Major Rivers and Creeks in the NHD using ArcMapfrom the USGS National Hydrography Dataset Newsletter, Vol. 13, No. 8, June 2014, by Jeff Simley, USGSThe NHD contains a lot of information, but for some applications, particularly those at small scales, it needs to be generalized. One approach is to show only “major rivers” in the NHD. A quick technique to show only the named rivers can easily be done by selecting NHDFlowline GNIS_NAME > ‘0’. See: ftp://nhdftp.usgs.gov/Hydro_Images/BlueRiver_Named_Rivers.jpgTo be even more restrictive, major rivers can be defined as only “double-line” or polygonal rivers, which appear in NHDArea. This is more complicated, and takes a few minutes, but works well. This approach finds the Artifical Path of those polygonal rivers:1. Find the polygonal rivers: Select by Attributes NHDArea where FType = 460 - Stream/River.2. Now it is necessary to find the NHDFlowline Artificial Paths of those rivers. Artificial Paths are linked to the polygon they are inside of using the field WBArea_Permanent_Identier. Create the link by doing a relate between NHDFlowline (key WBArea_Permanent_Identifier) and NHDArea (key Permanent_Identifier)3. Invoke the relationship and select the corresponding NHDFlowlines.4. For clarity, turn off the NHDArea selected features (the polygonal rivers).5. Now the candidate artificial paths are selected, but there are two problems: One is that the rivers running through lakes are not selected (which they should be), and two, the “stubs”of the tributary artificial paths have been selected (which are not wanted). 6. Next order of business is to eliminate the minor stubs with no name. Select from selection by Attributes NHDFlowline GNIS_Name > ‘0’. Now only stubs that are named remain. 7. Some of the remaining candidate artificial paths are wanted (the major rivers) and some are not (the named stubs). The named stubs can be eliminated by virtue of the fact that there are very few of them (normally one record per name) and those with low counts can be eliminated.8. Open the NHDFlowline attribute table. Some records are selected (the remaining candidate list) and some are not (all other flowlines making up “minor rivers”). Summarize the number of records under the field GNIS_Name and write this out as Sum_Output.dbf which you then add to ArcMap.9. Now the goal is to find the names of the major rivers. These will be rivers with a record count greater than 1. The extraneous non-named stubs have already been eliminated, which helps reduce the load. The next steps will select only records with significant counts, that is, the major rivers. This will allow deselecting the remaining NHDFlowlines and in the process eliminate the named stubs.10. It is necessary to relate Sum_Output (key GNIS_Name) with NHDFlowline (key GNIS_Name) to make it possible to use the GNIS_NAME’s to select the major rivers in NHDFlowline.11. Open the Sum_Output table. Note the field Count_GNIS_Name which will be used to count records. This will eliminate named stubs, leaving just the major rivers selected. Create a New Selection, Cnt_GNIS_N > 1. Leave the table open. Note major rivers are selected.Invoke the relationship to select the major rivers. In ArcMap all “major rivers” have been selected, even rivers through lakes. See ftp://nhdftp.usgs.gov/Hydro_Images/Blue_River_Selected.jpg

TwitterNOTE: This layer is a subset of the corresponding seasonal range layer for this species. All of the same metadata is used for this subset. The citation title is modified to replace "Seasonal" with "Crucial" and only the following seasonal ranges are included: anything with a "crucial" (CRU) designation in the RANGE attribute field (Select By Attributes... > "RANGE" LIKE '%CRU%').This data set represents the 2012 white-tailed deer seasonal range boundaries for Wyoming. Seasonal range delineations depict lands that are important in each season for certain biological processes within a herd unit. Seasonal range boundaries are based on long-term observation data, specific research projects, and professional judgement. Ranges are digitized at a scale of 1:100,000 using USGS 1:100,000 DRGs as a backdrop for heads up digitizing, and are revised as needed by the Wyoming Game and Fish Department. Current seasonal range definitions are based on a 1990 document drafted by the Wyoming Chapter of The Wildlife Society in cooperation with the Wyoming Game and Fish Department and federal land agencies.

TwitterThis dynamic World Elevation Terrain layer returns float values representing ground heights in meters and compiles multi-resolution data from many authoritative data providers from across the globe. Heights are orthometric (sea level = 0), and water bodies that are above sea level have approximated nominal water heights.Height units: MetersUpdate Frequency: QuarterlyCoverage: World/GlobalData Sources: This layer is compiled from a variety of best available sources from several data providers. To see the coverage and extents of various datasets comprising this service in an interactive map, see World Elevation Coverage Map.What can you do with this layer?Use for Visualization: This layer is generally not optimal for direct visualization. By default, 32 bit floating point values are returned, resulting in higher bandwidth requirements. Therefore, usage should be limited to applications requiring elevation data values. Alternatively, client applications can select from numerous additional functions, applied on the server, that return rendered data. For visualizations such as multi-directional hillshade, hillshade, elevation tinted hillshade, and slope, consider using the appropriate server-side function defined on this service.Use for Analysis: Yes. This layer provides data as floating point elevation values suitable for use in analysis. There is a limit of 5000 rows x 5000 columns.Note: This layer combine data from different sources and resamples the data dynamically to the requested projection, extent and pixel size. For analyses using ArcGIS Desktop, it is recommended to filter a dataset, specify the projection, extent and cell size using the Make Image Server Layer geoprocessing tool. The extent is factor of cell size and rows/columns limit. e.g. if cell size is 10 m, the extent for analysis would be less than 50,000 m x 50,000 m.Server Functions: This layer has server functions defined for the following elevation derivatives. In ArcGIS Pro, server function can be invoked from Layer Properties - Processing Templates.
Slope Degrees Slope Percent Aspect Ellipsoidal height Hillshade Multi-Directional Hillshade Dark Multi-Directional Hillshade Elevation Tinted Hillshade Slope Map Aspect Map Mosaic Method: This image service uses a default mosaic method of "By Attribute”, using Field 'Best' and target of 0. Each of the rasters has been attributed with ‘Best’ field value that is generally a function of the pixel size such that higher resolution datasets are displayed at higher priority. Other mosaic methods can be set, but care should be taken as the order of the rasters may change. Where required, queries can also be set to display only specific datasets such as only NED or the lock raster mosaic rule used to lock to a specific dataset.Accuracy: Accuracy will vary as a function of location and data source. Please refer to the metadata available in the layer, and follow the links to the original sources for further details. An estimate of CE90 and LE90 are included as attributes, where available.This layer allows query, identify, and export image requests. The layer is restricted to a 5,000 x 5,000 pixel limit in a single request.This layer is part of a larger collection of elevation layers that you can use to perform a variety of mapping analysis tasks.

TwitterThe National Hydrography Dataset Plus (NHDplus) maps the lakes, ponds, streams, rivers and other surface waters of the United States. Created by the US EPA Office of Water and the US Geological Survey, the NHDPlus provides mean annual and monthly flow estimates for rivers and streams. Additional attributes provide connections between features facilitating complicated analyses. For more information on the NHDPlus dataset see the NHDPlus v2 User Guide.Dataset SummaryPhenomenon Mapped: Surface waters and related features of the United States and associated territories not including Alaska.Geographic Extent: The United States not including Alaska, Puerto Rico, Guam, US Virgin Islands, Marshall Islands, Northern Marianas Islands, Palau, Federated States of Micronesia, and American SamoaProjection: Web Mercator Auxiliary Sphere Visible Scale: Visible at all scales but layer draws best at scales larger than 1:1,000,000Source: EPA and USGSUpdate Frequency: There is new new data since this 2019 version, so no updates planned in the futurePublication Date: March 13, 2019Prior to publication, the NHDPlus network and non-network flowline feature classes were combined into a single flowline layer. Similarly, the NHDPlus Area and Waterbody feature classes were merged under a single schema.Attribute fields were added to the flowline and waterbody layers to simplify symbology and enhance the layer's pop-ups. Fields added include Pop-up Title, Pop-up Subtitle, On or Off Network (flowlines only), Esri Symbology (waterbodies only), and Feature Code Description. All other attributes are from the original NHDPlus dataset. No data values -9999 and -9998 were converted to Null values for many of the flowline fields.What can you do with this 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. 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.Apply filters. For example you can set a filter to show larger streams and rivers using the mean annual flow attribute or the stream order attribute. Change the layer’s style and symbologyAdd labels and set their propertiesCustomize the pop-upUse as an input to the ArcGIS Online analysis tools. This layer works well as a reference layer with the trace downstream and watershed tools. The buffer tool can be used to draw protective boundaries around streams and the extract data tool can be used to create copies of portions of the data.ArcGIS ProAdd this layer to a 2d or 3d map. Use as an input to geoprocessing. For example, copy features allows you to select then export portions of the data to a new feature class. 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 ArcGIS 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.Questions?Please leave a comment below if you have a question about this layer, and we will get back to you as soon as possible.
