Sage Thrasher Range - CWHR B394 [ds1616]

Vector datasets of CWHR range maps are one component of California Wildlife Habitat Relationships (CWHR), a comprehensive information system and predictive model for California's wildlife. The CWHR System was developed to support habitat conservation and management, land use planning, impact assessment, education, and research involving terrestrial vertebrates in California. CWHR contains information on life history, management status, geographic distribution, and habitat relationships for wildlife species known to occur regularly in California. Range maps represent the maximum, current geographic extent of each species within California. They were originally delineated at a scale of 1:5,000,000 by species-level experts and have gradually been revised at a scale of 1:1,000,000. For more information about CWHR, visit the CWHR webpage ([https://www.wildlife.ca.gov/Data/CWHR]). The webpage provides links to download CWHR data and user documents such as a look up table of available range maps including species code, species name, and range map revision history; a full set of CWHR GIS data; .pdf files of each range map or species life history accounts; and a User Guide.

Vegetation Grasslands - Alameda and Contra Costa County [ds3205]

At the request of the East Bay Regional Parks District (EBPRD), Nomad Ecology (Nomad), Benson Bio Consulting (Shelly Benson), and Tukman Geospatial (project manager Brittany Burnett) conducted a fine-scale grassland vegetation mapping project on 11,000 acres of grasslands and low-cover shrublands in 16 parks owned and managed by East Bay Regional Parks District (EBRPD) in Alameda and Contra Costa counties. This project used field vegetation sampling and mapping to produce a fine-scale vegetation map (alliance and association level) to identify the composition and location of these native grassland vegetation types, so mapped polygons do not correspond with any imagery base. Areas mapped in the enhanced lifeform map as anything except upland herbaceous or non-native herbaceous were excluded from the matrix. These matrix polygons were incorporated into the final grassland map and flagged "Yes” in the field “Matrix Flag.”. The methods used for this vegetation sampling and mapping project are consistent with the Manual of California Vegetation and followed protocols established by CDFW VegCAMP and CNPS. This map was made in 2023. This fine scale grassland map represents native grasslands and low-cover shrublands throughout select East Bay Regional Parks District (EBRPD) lands – a 74-class grassland map with 2,805 polygons. The mapping was conducted in the spring-summer of 2023 and 2024. The map also includes a non-native matrix covering areas not mapped as native grasslands or low-cover shrublands. After field work concluded, field staff conducted a thorough quality assurance process, which involved checking for polygons under the 1/5-acre minimum mapping unit (MMU), overlapping polygons, and accurate data attribution. Spatial data for this project is also available on pacificvegmap.org. The report for this project is available here: [https://nrm.dfg.ca.gov/FileHandler.ashx?DocumentID=239500]
Vegetation - Mojave Desert National Preserve [ds3128]

This study presents a comprehensive vegetation mapping inventory project undertaken in Mojave National Preserve (MOJA) and Castle Mountains National Monument (CAMO), two areas within the National Park Service’s Mojave Desert Network (MOJN). Covering a combined area of over 1.6 million acres along the California-Nevada border, these sites encompass diverse desert ecosystems, including valleys, washes, sand dunes, volcanic formations, and Joshua tree forests. The project, initiated in 2010 by the National Park Service’s Vegetation Mapping Inventory (VMI), aimed to document and classify the plant communities in these areas. The project unfolded over six phases between 2011 and 2021, starting with a review of existing vegetation data and the development of a comprehensive work plan. In collaboration with the California Native Plant Society (CNPS) and the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV), field data were collected from 630 plots and observation points, supplemented by 588 samples from previous studies. The data were used to classify 67 plant alliances and two landform types, ultimately identifying 136 plant associations within MOJA and CAMO. The vegetation map for the project, covering the entire 1.6-million-acre area, was created using a hybrid mapping approach that combined manual and automated techniques. The map was based on 2018 National Agriculture Imagery Program (NAIP) basemap data and was validated through ground-based verification efforts. The accuracy of the final vegetation map was assessed at 91%, with a Kappa value of 92%, indicating a high level of reliability. The minimum mapping unit is 1.2 acres (0.5 hectares). The final products of this project include a spatial geodatabase, digital field photos, metadata, a classification report, and a field key to the vegetation alliances. These resources provide a valuable tool for ongoing research and conservation efforts in these ecologically significant areas. More information can be found in the project report, which is bundled with the vegetation map published for BIOS here: https://filelib.wildlife.ca.gov/Public/BDB/GIS/BIOS/Public_Datasets/3100_3199/ds3128.zip

Safety Roadside Rest Areas

Caltrans provides Safety Roadside Rest Areas as a part of the State Highway System pursuant to Streets and Highways Code, Sections 218-226.5. Safety Roadside Rest Areas provide opportunities for travelers to safely stop, stretch, take a nap, use the restroom, get water, check maps, place telephone calls, switch drivers, check vehicles and loads, and exercise pets. Rest areas reduce drowsy and distracted driving and provide a safe and convenient alternative to unsafe parking along the roadside. This dataset provides the detail rest area information collected from Right of Way and the Statewide Rest Areas List from Division of Maintenance. The data was last updated on 08-15-2023. Verification Source: CT Public Facilities Inventory List. In some cases, rest areas are closed temporarily for maintenance, the facility web links will help to check the current status of the rest areas.

Vegetation - Pickel Meadows Wildlife Area [ds3197]

The California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) created a fine-scale vegetation map of the Pickel Meadows meadow complex and adjacent uplands. CDFW conducted field reconnaissance assistance for this project, as well as accuracy assessment (AA) field data collection. CDFW’s Vegetation Classification and Mapping Program (VegCAMP) provided in-kind service to allocate and score the AA. The mapping study area consists of approximately 2,169 acres of Mono County. Work was performed on the project between 2021 and 2025. Field samples were collected between June 21 and June 25, 2021. The primary purpose of the project was to further CDFW’s goal of developing fine-scale digital vegetation maps as part of the California Biodiversity Initiative Roadmap of 2018. CDFW's VegCAMP developed the floristic vegetation classification used for the project based on existing vegetation types described in the Manual of California Vegetation Online (CNPS 2021) and the classification for the Modoc ecoregion (Boul et al. 2021). The floristic classification follows protocols compliant with the Federal Geographic Data Committee (FGDC) and National Vegetation Classification Standards (NVCS). The vegetation classification and mapping report with the vegetation key can be downloaded here: https://nrm.dfg.ca.gov/FileHandler.ashx?DocumentID=237989. The vegetation map was produced applying heads-up digitizing techniques using a 2018 base of one-meter National Agricultural Imagery Program (NAIP) imagery (true-color and color infrared), in conjunction with ancillary data and imagery sources. Map polygons are assessed for Vegetation Type, Percent Cover, Exotics, Development Disturbance, and other attributes. The minimum mapping unit (MMU) is 1 acre, with the exception of wetland and riparian types, which have an MMU of ½ acre. Field reconnaissance and accuracy assessment enhanced map quality. There was a total of 33 mapping classes. The overall Fuzzy Accuracy Assessment rating for the final vegetation map,at the Alliance and Group levels, is XXXX percent. Overall users' map accuracy was 89.3% and overall producers' accuracy was 89.6%.
