Oregon Mule Deer South Wallowas Migration Corridors

South Wallowas mule deer winter ranges are dispersed across areas of low elevation near the Idaho border. During spring, mule deer wintering north of Powder River and Pyles Canyon migrate to Catherine Creek and the Wallowa Mountains within the Wallowa-Whitman National Forest. Interstate 84 creates a complete barrier to southern movement for the South Wallowas herd. Mule deer wintering in areas near Interstate 84, Lawrence Creek, and Manning Creek are largely residents with only two migratory mule deer traveling to Little Lookout Mountain and Thief Valley Reservoir. Other mule deer reside along Snake River, which forms the Idaho border. One mule deer crosses Snake River south of the Powder River headwaters, migrating 24.46 mi (39.36 km) to Weiser River north of Cambridge, Idaho. Their winter range primarily consists of sagebrush communities and Columbia Basin grassland, while summer ranges contain big sagebrush with spruce, quaking aspen, and mixed-conifer forests. Mule deer tend to avoid the lowest elevation areas near Lower Powder Valley and Richland and Durkee, Oregon, instead preferring to winter at an average elevation of 3,435 ft (1,047 m), with average summer range elevations of 5,185 ft (1,580 m). The South Wallowas herd transverses the Keating WMU, which was included in the 2015 Oregon Mule Deer Initiative (ODFW, 2020). Since then, ODFW has removed 159 acres (64 ha) of western juniper, reseeded 203 acres (82 ha) for native shrubs and grasses, and thinned 265 acres (107 ha) of timber stands. The impact these habitat improvements had on population number was reduced when in 2017, January snow depth exceeded 30 in (76 cm) in mule deer winter ranges and average overwinter fawn survival dropped to 24 percent, although fawn survival has since returned to 77 percent in 2018–2021 (ODFW, 2021).
These mapping layers show the location of the migration corridors for mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus) in the South Wallowas population in Oregon. They were developed from 64 migration sequences collected from a sample size of 27 animals comprising GPS locations collected every 5−13 hours.

Annual Ranges of Mule Deer in the Rainbow Valley Herd in Arizona

The Rainbow Valley mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus) reside in the expansive Sonoran Desert flat between the Sierra Estrella Mountains and the North Maricopa Mountains. The herd, which numbered 1,500 in 2017, is managed for hunting within Game Management Units (GMU) 39 and 40. The movements depicted in this report represent annual range for 3 mule deer which are part of a much larger research project along the Interstate 11 (I-11) Proposed Corridor Alternative. The research is being conducted by the Arizona Game and Fish Department (AZGFD), with funding from the U.S. Department of the Interior through Secretarial Order 3362. Although the Rainbow Valley mule deer are not migratory in the traditional sense, their annual patterns show substantial 15-20 mile movements throughout this desert valley. These movements are likely occurring in response to seasonally variable food and water sources. AZGFD recognizes the potential for future research and conservation opportunities across the landscapes traversed by the entire I-11 study area. For example, understanding mule deer movement pathways will be essential in the effort to avoid, minimize, and mitigate impacts of I-11 if it is constructed. AZGFD is a Cooperating Agency for Arizona Department of Transportation’s (ADOT) tiered impact study for I-11 and has been working to understand the potential impacts that the proposed I-11 highway would have on wildlife, if constructed. The timelines associated with ongoing movement studies and road design will allow AZGFD to analyze current data, and provide ADOT with robust input on corridor routes to aid in the design of specific mitigation measures and improvements for wildlife connectivity. 
These data provide the location of annual ranges for mule deer from the Rainbow Valley Herd in Arizona. They were developed from 6 annual sequences collected from a sample size of 3 animals comprising GPS locations collected every 3 hours.

Watershed Potential to Contribute Phosphorus from Geologic Materials to Receiving Streams, Conterminous United States

This spatial data layer is a cell-based Raster model characterizing the contribution of phosphorus (P) 
to streams from weathering and erosion of surficial geologic materials for the conterminous United 
States, and has been created as part of the SPARROW (Spatially Referenced Regressions on 
Watershed Attributes) water-quality model implementation. SPARROW provides estimates of total 
nitrogen and phosphorus load in surface waters from point and non-point sources. This data set 
represents only potential for P contributions, and does not include N. The characterization of 
contribution of P from geologic materials will help separate the effects of natural or background 
sources from anthropogenic sources of P, such as from municipal wastewater or agricultural 
practices. The potential of a watershed to contribute P from naturally occurring geologic materials 
in the watershed to the adjacent receiving stream is characterized using geochemical data from 
bed-sediment samples (USGS National Geochemical Survey, National Uranium Resource 
Evaluation (NURE), Smith 1979) collected from first-order streams in relatively undisturbed watersheds.  
Bed sediment samples were collected from 1975 through 1980. The bed-sediment phosphorus 
concentrations (BSPconc) in this data set represent BSPconc in the absence of anthropogenic 
sources and therefore spatial variation in BSPconc can be used to indicate spatial variation in the 
potential to contribute naturally occurring P from the geologic materials in the watershed to the 
stream. A continuous mapped distribution of BSPconc in headwater streams for the conterminous 
U.S. was prepared by summarizing BSPconc from 50,740 bed-sediment samples by geologic unit 
using regional-scale geologic map units (GMU's). The GMU's delineate areas with similar 
lithochemistry based on geologic age as well as ecoregion units. GMU’s were created by 
combining surficial geology (Hunt, Charles D., 1979) with Level IV Ecoregion units (U.S. Environmental 
Protection Agency 2011). This data set represents the mean BSPconc value for each GMU. The 
spatial pattern of BSPconc in headwater streams is offered as a data layer, representing best 
available information at the regional scale, with the caveat that its performance as a surrogate for 
contribution of P from watershed geologic materials to in-stream levels of P is weakened by not 
accounting for variability across headwater streams in the rates of net deposition and processing 
of P in the streambed.

Nutrients, Escherichia coli, and microbial source tracking markers in surface-water and known-source samples collected in Salado Creek and its watershed near Salado, Texas, 2018

Concerns exist that the degradation of water quality in Salado Creek near Salado, Texas could adversely affect recreational uses and harm salamander populations that live in and near springs that discharge into the stream. Salado is part of the rapidly growing Killeen-Temple-Fort Hood area; land-use changes in the Salado Creek watershed could adversely affect water quality in Salado Creek. Streamflow in Salado Creek is generally derived from the Salado Springs complex during low-flow conditions (dry weather) and from the springs and surface runoff during high-flow conditions (wet weather). A better understanding of the types of waste (human, animal, or both) that may be entering the stream and springs is needed to properly manage fecal-waste input. Water-quality samples were collected from four sites in Salado Creek near Salado over a variety of hydrologic conditions between May and September 2018. The samples were analyzed for nutrients, bacteria, and microbial source tracking markers. Known-source samples were collected from a wastewater plant, septic tanks, and animal droppings in the watershed. The known-source samples were analyzed for bacteria and microbial source tracking markers to characterize the types of waste in the watershed and compare them to the water-quality samples. Salado transitioned from on-site sewage facilities (septic tanks) to a municipal wastewater treatment system in some areas between 2014 and 2019. These results may help water resource managers assess the effects of the wastewater treatment system and other land-use changes in the area on water quality in Salado Creek and the Salado Springs complex.

New Mexico Mule Deer Crow Mesa/2C Corridors

The Crow Mesa Mule Deer Study was initiated in 2019 to identify the seasonal movement and distribution patterns of mule deer in the eastern half of Game Management Unit (GMU) 2C. This GPS study builds on nearby studies of mule deer and elk conducted by the Bureau of Land Management, the Southern Ute Tribe, the Jicarilla Apache Nation, and the New Mexico Department of Fish and Game. 
Migration corridors extended 20 to 75 miles from the winter ranges in GMU 2C to various summer ranges northeast to the Carson National Forest near Chama, and southeast to the San Pedro Parks Wilderness in the Santa Fe National Forest. The Crow Mesa herd relies largely on winter ranges administered by the Bureau of Land Management, where approximately 70% of the population remains year-round (Sawyer 2021). The other 30% migrate through, and summer on an assortment of private, tribal, and U.S. Forest Service lands. Notably, all mule deer migration corridors crossed Jicarilla Apache Nation immediately east of this herd’s winter range. Key management challenges with this deer herd include fence barriers, highway crossings, and habitat loss and human disturbance associated with energy development.
These mapping layers show the location of the migration corridors for mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus) in the Crow Mesa/2C population in New Mexico. They were developed from 40 migration sequences collected from a sample size of 12 animals comprising GPS locations collected every 2-8 hours.

0.2-second spectral response acceleration (5% of critical damping) with a 1% probability of exceedance in 1 year

A one-year seismic hazard forecast for the Central and Eastern United States, based on induced and natural  earthquakes, has been produced by the U.S. Geological Survey.  The model assumes that earthquake rates calculated from several different time windows will remain relatively stationary and can be used to forecast earthquake hazard and damage intensity for the year 2018. This assessment is the first step in developing an operational earthquake forecast for the CEUS, and the analysis could be revised with updated seismicity and model parameters. Consensus input models consider alternative earthquake catalog durations, smoothing parameters, maximum magnitudes, and ground motion estimates, and represent uncertainties in earthquake occurrence and diversity of opinion in the science community.  Near some areas of active induced earthquakes, hazard is higher than in the 2014 USGS National Seismic Hazard Model (NSHM) by more than a factor of 3; the 2014 NSHM did not consider induced earthquakes. In some areas, previously observed induced earthquakes have stopped, so the seismic hazard reverts back to the 2014 NSHM.
This data set represents the results of calculations of hazard curves for a grid of points with a spacing of 0.05 degrees in latitude and longitude.  This particular data set is for horizontal spectral response acceleration for 0.2-second period with a 1 percent probability of exceedance in 1 year.  The data are for the Central and Eastern United States and are based on the one-year model.

Migration corridors of mule deer in the South Tuscarora Mountains, Nevada

Mule deer in the South Tuscarora herd are part of the larger “Area 6” deer population that reside in the  southern and eastern portion of this big game Management  Area (MA 6). The winter range for this sub population is located along the western slopes of the Tuscarora Mountains and the Dunphy Hills. The spring migration route for this deer herd traverses north along the toe slopes of the Tuscarora Mountains on the east side and narrows to approximately 600 meters at one pinch point near the Carlin -Pete Mine area. The migration route generally spans about 30 miles to the northeast to higher elevations in the northern Tuscarora Mountains. Important stopover areas include Richmond Mountain, Jack and Little Jack Creeks, and Coyote Creek drainages on the east side of the Tuscarora Mountains.  Challenges to this deer herd include constrictions in the migration corridor due to large scale gold mining operations, as well as compromised winter ranges in the Dunphy Hills that have experienced multiple wildfires over the past decade. Interstate traffic also poses a challenge to some deer that continue to migrate south and experience a high rate of mortality and a complex network of fences along the I-80 corridor.
These data provide the location of migration corridors for mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus) in the South Tuscarora Mountains, Nevada. They were developed from Brownian bridge movement models (Sawyer et al. 2009) using  63 migration sequences collected from a sample size of  31 animals comprising GPS locations collected every 1-25 hours.
