Technical Report

This report summarizes the process used to come up with the maps including the experts consulted, datasets chosen, and mapping methodology employed.

Overlay Results Map

This map shows those areas that if kept intact will provide the greatest value in terms of maintaining water quality, storing water, and slowing runoff. The areas in red, orange, and yellow have the highest values in this respect.

Priority Sub-basins Map

This map takes the data from the overlay results and identifies which sub-basins within the watershed hold the greatest coverage of high priority areas (in this case areas red though yellow). This allows organizations or communities to focus on sub-basins of high priority.

Priority Map Book

The map book contains the same information as the overlay results but at a much higher resolution and with more detailed features to help orient users. The map book allows a user to zoom in and look at the landscape at the level of an individual quarter section.

Georeferenced Image for GIS

This high resolution georeferenced TIF along with TFW and LYR files should allow Arc GIS users to import the image of the overlay results and use it alongside other datasets as a tool to support organizational, project, or land-use planning.
