NRCS Common Resource Areas (CRA), version 1.2. A Common Resource Area is defined as a geographical area where resource concerns, problems, or treatment needs are similar. It is considered a subdivision of an existing Major Land Resource Area (MLRA) map delineation or polygon. Landscape conditions, soil, climate, human considerations, and other natural resource information are used to determine the geographic boundaries of a CRA. Features have been conflated with land cover attributes pertinent to the MRB/GHI e.g. cropland, forest, prairie, etc.

The Greater Sage Grouse Focal Area represents an area of interest pertaining to the greater sage grouse under the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) Working Lands for Wildlife (WLFW) Wildlife Habitat Incentive Program (WHIP).Working Lands for Wildlife is a partnership between NRCS and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) to use agency technical expertise and financial assistance from the Wildlife Habitat Incentive Program to combat the decline of seven specific wildlife species whose decline can be reversed and will benefit other species with similar habitat needs. The WLFW project will target species whose decline can be reversed and will benefit other species...

Predicted greater prairie chicken habitat - Iowa Wildlife Action Plan (2007). Landscape suitability was mapped by applying a model developed for Northwest Minnesota to the 2001 National Land Cover Data for Iowa. Logistic regression was used to compare landscape characteristics between booming grounds and random sites. The model is based on the assumption that areas classified as hayland are equivalent to grassland habitat. In addition to providing information about the Greater Prairie-Chicken, this map is included as a representation of the location of mid-grass habitat in amounts significant enough to support grassland species more generally. Model developed by USFWS.

Grassland priority conservation areas (GPCAs) within North America's Central Grasslands identified by the Commission for Environmental Cooperation of North America. GPCAs are defined as areas of tri-national importance due to their ecological significance and threatened nature, which are in need of international cooperation for their successful conservation.

Designated Topeka Shiner Critical Habitat - Iowa Wildlife Action Plan (2007). This habitat is essential for the conservation of the Topeka Shiner and may require special management and protection. All indicated areas designated as critical habitat are occupied by the species or are short segments that provide critical links between habitats.
Boundary of Mississippi River Basin derived by dissolving WBD HU-4, July 2012 version.

This shapefile was created by the Ohio Department of Natural Resources Division of Forestry. It identifies priority forest landscapes for Ohio's 2010 Statewide Forest Resource Assessment and Strategy (FRAS 2010). Priority forest landscapes are large forest blocks that have a high concentration of priority forest areas as identified in FRAS 2010. The priority forest landscapes may be used for strategic planning, competitive grants, stakeholder collaboration, and conservation marketing.This shapefile identifies priority forest landscapes developed for Ohio's 2010 Statewide Forest Resource Assessment and Strategy. The priority forest landscapes represent areas with high concentrations of priority forest areas that...

The purpose of this map is to provide a georeferenced characterization of vegetation in the early stages of Euro-American settlement. One of the research uses for the surveys nationally is for presettlement vegetation. This data can be used to analyze presettlement vegetation patterns for the purpose of determining natural community potential, productivity indexes, and patterns of natural disturbance. The area of the original plat maps were townships; use of the data at a larger scale would not be appropriate.In Illinois, the surveys began in 1804 and were largely completed by 1843. The surveyors moved across the state laying out a rectangular grid system, known as the Public Land Survey System (PLS or PLSS). They...
