Description:

Abstract:

The sage grouse distribution winter use Geographical

Information System (GIS) layer was created as part of the

Nevada Sage Grouse Conservation Plan. The winter use map

layer is part of a composite view of yearlong range

developed by the Nevada Division of Wildlife Biologists

using a combination of historical data, seasonal

observational data, telemetry data, and professional

assessments. Other map layers

include nesting and early brood rearing habitat and summer

use distributions.

Purpose:

The sage grouse winter use distribution GIS layer is a

subset of the

yearlong sage grouse range and will be distributed

statewide among federal, state, local, and tribal units to

aid the development of appropriate sage grouse management strategies.

SupplementalInformation:

Winter use areas are primarily determined by the amount of

snow. Sagebrush must be exposed at least 10 to 12 inches

above snow level in order to provide the requisite food and

cover for wintering sage grouse. If snow covers the

sagebrush, the birds will move to areas where sagebrush is exposed.

DATAQUALITYINFORMATION

AttributeAccuracy:

AttributeAccuracyReport:

All attributes established in the creation process were

verified by displaying the polygons from both the database

and the spatial coverage.

LogicalConsistencyReport:

The data were rendered logically consistent, by using the

\"clean\" and \"build\" commands in ArcInfo.

CompletenessReport:

Distributions might change according to variations in sage

grouse population/range.

PositionalAccuracy:

HorizontalPositionalAccuracy:

HorizontalPositionalAccuracyReport:

The data were created by delineating distributions on USGS

30 X 60 minute quadrangle 1:100,000 scale metric

topographic maps. Horizontal Positional Accuracy was tested

by visual comparison of hard copy check plots against

source materials and verifying the location of the data on

screen relative to other data layers in the geographic area.

VerticalPositionalAccuracy:

VerticalPositionalAccuracyReport:

The data were created by delineating distributions on USGS

30 X 60 minute quadrangle 1:100,000 scale metric

topographic maps. Vertical Positional Accuracy was tested

by visual comparison of hard copy check plots against

source materials and verifying the location of the data on

screen relative to other data layers in the geographic area.

Vector data representing seasonal sage grouse distributions.

ProcessStep:

ProcessDescription:

The data were \"heads-up\" digitized from vector data drawn

on 1:100,000 scale 30X60 minute quadrangle metric

topographic maps. The

shapefile was used to create a printed map, which was

edited by NV Division of Wildlife regional biologists.

Changes and corrections were made to the shapefile which

was then converted to an Arc/Info coverage.
