GrSageGrouseBroodArea is an ESRI SDE Feature Class showing areas
supporting sage grouse broods. This generally includes wet areas such
as meadows, springs, ponds and streams which all function as important
brood rearing sites. To be mapped in some areas as a 200m buffer zone
around the edges of such wet sites.
This information was derived from field personnel. A variety of data
capture techniques were used including drawing on mylar overlays at
1:50,000 scale USGS county mapsheets and implementation of the
SmartBoard Interactive Whiteboard using stand-up, real-time digitizing
at various scales (Cowardin, M., M. Flenner. March 2003. Maximizing
Mapping Resources. GeoWorld 16(3):32-35).
Dataset was acquired from a third party distributor who obtained it from CDOW in January 2011. The authoritative data source is available on ArcGIS.com (http://www.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=75734173c73b485daa1aa90a069e56f2) and will be updated from that location.
