This map is from the 1954 Preliminary appraisal report for the Great Salt Marsh National Wildlife Refuge, known today as Quivira National Wildlife Refuge, in Stafford and Reno counties, Kansas. This map shows ownership and cover type of the proposed refuge. The original map was georeferenced against Stafford County NAIP (2012) imagery. Fifteen points were used in the georeferencing process, and large landmarks such as intersections were used a reference points. It represents the refuge landuse and ownership 3 years prior to the establishment of Quivira National Wildlife Refuge. This image allows a great look back in time to interpret habitat types and land use patterns. Pixel resolution of this image is 3 meters. This image and map should be used for resource-level interpretation only. This reference contains a PDF of the preliminary appraisal landuse map, and a georeferenced map.

Bathymetric data were collected using a boat-mounted Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS), a type of differential global positioning system, echo depth-sounding equipment, and computer software. Data were exported into a geographic information system and converted into a point layer. These data points were used to create a triangulated irregular network (TIN) from which 2-foot contours were created. The contours were then clipped with a manually digitized outline of the reservoir shoreline and edited for errors. The resulting data was used for mapping purposes and for calculating area and volume statistics.

These data were created as part of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Office for Coastal Management's efforts to create an online mapping viewer called the Sea Level Rise and Coastal Flooding Impacts Viewer. It depicts potential sea level rise and its associated impacts on the nation's coastal areas. The purpose of the mapping viewer is to provide coastal managers and scientists with a preliminary look at sea level rise (slr) and coastal flooding impacts. The viewer is a screening-level tool that uses nationally consistent data sets and analyses. Data and maps provided can be used at several scales to help gauge trends and prioritize actions for different scenarios. The Sea Level Rise and Coastal Flooding Impacts Viewer may be accessed at: http://www.coast.noaa.gov/slr This metadata record describes the digital elevation model (DEM), which is a part of a series of DEMs produced for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Office for Coastal Management's Sea Level Rise and Coastal Flooding Impacts Viewer described above. This DEM includes the best available data known to exist at the time of DEM creation that met project specifications, for mainland Virginia, this includes portions of the following counties: Alexandria, Arlington, Charles City, Chesapeake, Essex, Fairfax, Falls Church, Franklin City, Fredericksburg City, Gloucester, Hampton, Isle of Wight, James City, King and Queen, King George, King William, Lancaster, Mathews, Middlesex, New Kent, Newport News, Norfolk, Northumberland, Poquoson City, Portsmouth, Prince George, Prince William, Richmond, Southampton, Stafford, Suffolk, Surry, Sussex, Virginia Beach, Westmoreland, Williamsburg, and York. This DEM also includes the District of Columbia. The DEM is derived from the following lidar: 1.
