Critical Habitats

<div><a href='https://cteco.uconn.edu/guides/Critical_Habitat.htm' target='_blank' rel='nofollow ugc noopener noreferrer'>See full Data Guide here.</a><br /></div>Connecticut Critical Habitats is a polygon feature-based layer with a resolution of +/- 10 meters that represents significant natural community types occurring in Connecticut. This layer is a subset of habitat-related vegetation associations, described in Connecticut's Natural Vegetation Classification, that were designated as key habitats for species of Greatest Conservation Need in the Comprehensive Wildlife Conservation Strategy. These habitats are known to host a number of rare species including highly specialized invertebrates with very specific habitat associations. Some key habitats are broken into subtypes based on natural variations in plant species dominance and/or vegetation structure. These differences are apparent in the subtype names. Connecticut Critical Habitats can serve to highlight ecologically significant areas and to target areas of species diversity.

This layer can be used to perform various spatial analyses that pertain to Critical Habitats, to aid in determining site management and conservation priorities, prioritizing field surveys, and to further document the distribution and abundance of State-listed and/or rare vertebrate and invertebrate species within the significant habitats. Use this layer appropriately with data maintaining similar resolution. Not intended for maps printed at a resolution greater or more detailed than 1:2000.

Quaternary Geology

<div><a href='https://www.cteco.uconn.edu/guides/Quaternary_Geology.htm' rel='nofollow ugc' target='_blank'>See full Data Guide here. </a><br /></div>Quaternary Geology Feature Set is 1:24,000-scale data that illustrates the geologic features formed in Connecticut during the Quaternary Period, which spans from 2.588 ± 0.005 million years ago to the present and includes the Pleistocene (glacial) and Holocene (postglacial) Epochs. The Quaternary Period has been a time of development of many details of the Connecticut landscape and all surficial deposits. At least twice in the last Pleistocene, continental ice sheets swept across Connecticut from the north. Their effects are of pervasive importance to present-day occupants of the land.

The Quaternary Geology information illustrates the geologic history and the distribution of depositional environments during the emplacement of unconsolidated glacial and postglacial surficial deposits and the landforms resulting from those events in Connecticut. These deposits range from a few feet to several hundred feet in thickness, overlie the bedrock surface and underlie the organic soil layer of Connecticut. Quaternary Geology is mapped without regard for any organic soil layer that may overly the deposit.

For additional documentation including a description of the unconsolidated glacial and postglacial surficial deposits shown on the map, refer to the CT ECO Complete Resource Guide for Quaternary Geology.

The Connecticut Quaternary Geology information was initially compiled at 1:24,000 scale (1 inch = 2,000 feet) then recompiled for a statewide 1:125,000-scale map, Quaternary Geology Map of Connecticut and Long Island Sound Basin (PDF, 56 Mb) Stone, J.R., Schafer, J.P., London, E.H. and Thompson, W.B., 1992, U.S. Geological Survey Special Map, 2 sheets, scale 1:125,000, and pamphlet, 71 p. A companion map, the Surficial Materials Map of Connecticut (PDF, 26 Mb) Stone, J.R., Schafer, J.P., London, E.H., DiGiacomo-Cohen, M.L., Lewis, R.L., and Thompson, W.B., 2005, U.S. Geological Survey Scientific Investigation Map 2784, 2 sheets, scale 1:125,000, emphasizes the surface and subsurface texture (grain-size distribution) of these materials. The quaternary geology and surficial material features portrayed on these two maps are very closely related; each contributes to the interpretation of the other.

Trail Access

DEEP Trails Set:

Trail Access Points are point features in the Statewide Trails Database that describe where trails are accessed at trail heads, state and municipal parks and forests, or other points of departure. Trail Points of Interest are point features in the Statewide Trails Database that describe where there are scenic overlooks, bridges, river crossings or other historic or geologic sites of interest along trails. These features are directly located along trails and do not describe amenities commonly found on park grounds such as parking areas, picnic areas, and restrooms. Trail Point of Interest features are optional. Trails are line features in the Statewide Trails Database that describe the location of single and multi-use trails, access trails, connector trails, and regional trails. These features may also describe bike routes along public roads and their relationship with connecting multi-use paved trails used for walking, running, inline-skating, and bicyling, for example. Trail features describe hiking trails, nature trails, bike routes, and Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) accessible trails such as certain walkways, boardwalks and stone dust surfaced trails. Individual trail features are described in terms of their surface type (unpaved, paved, unpaved road, paved road, etc.) and whether activities such as hiking, walking, running, inline skating, bicycling, mountain biking, motorbiking, all terraine vehicle use, snowmobiling, cross-country skiing, and horseback riding are permitted. Also indicates whether leashed or unleashed dogs are allowed. Roadway line features are optional features in the Statewide Trails Database used to place a trail system in context with nearby park roads or park entrance. They are very simple line features used to represent driveways, park roads, forest roads, and occasionally public roads on or along the public property where the trail system exists. Roadway line features are optional. They are not used for mapping bike routes. Trail line features are used for mapping bike routes.

1997 Municipal and Private Open Space

Municipal and Private Open Space Property contains parcels owned by municipalities, land trusts and other private entities throughout the state.  Generally, these parcels are open space and include schools, cemeteries, recreation, conservation and preservation land.  This layer can be used with the Federal Property and DEP Property layers for a more comprehensive understanding of open space and recreation land throughout the State of Connecticut.

This layer has not been updated since 1997 and may not be accurate.  For more accurate and current open space parcel data, please see the Protected Open Space and the Protected Open Space Phase 1 feature classes.  However, please note that the definition of Protected Open Space is not the same.  As a result, cemeteries, developed recreation facilities, and schools are not included in the more current Protected Open Space layers.

Connecticut Line

Connecticut State Line includes the line features of a layer named Connecticut. Connecticut is a 1:24,000-scale, polygon and line feature-based layer that depicts the geographic area encompassed by and the boundary for the State of Connecticut. The State of Connecticut is represented as one polygon feature surrounded by linear boundary features. The layer is based on information from USGS topographic quadrangle maps published between 1969 and 1984 and latitude and longitude coordinates that define the boundary between the states of Connecticut and New York in Long Island Sound. Feature length and geographic area are encoded for linear and polygon features, respectively. This layer was originally published in 1994.

Eelgrass Beds 2006 Points

Eelgrass Beds 2006 Set:

This data layer was created by the USFWS National Wetlands Inventory, Region 5. Delineations of 2006 eelgrass beds were completed on the eastern Connecticut shoreline to the Rhode Island border. Fisher Island, Plum Island, and the northern shore of Long Island, New York were also included in this work. Spring 2006 True Color aerial photography was taken at a scale of 1:20,000 and used for detemining location and delineation of eelgrass beds. Extensive field work was conducted by the USFWS Region 5 Southern Coastal Zone program in September, October and November, with 290 field sites. The 2006 photography was scanned and geo-rectified using 2004 ADS 1/2 meter true color imagery.

This dataset contains point data for eelgrass verification field work completed in 2006 by the US Fish & Wildlife Service. Field work was conducted during September, October and November of 2006. The resulting information was used extensivley in the creation of the accompanyng polygonal eelgrass dataset.
