Spatial Data

GIS-based catalog

Geodatabase

To support identification of the existing conditions present on any site for which the LMP may be used, a GIS-based catalog was developed. This geodatabase represents the accumulation and organization of the most site-specific geospatial characterization tools that are publicly available within the LMP.

The strategic goal of this geodatabase is to provide forest resource professionals with a geospatial tool that presents tabular data helpful in developing forest management goals and recommendations using the best available science.

Category	Layer Source Name	Description	Link
Historical Structures	Historical Structure Locations in Alabama	This dataset contains historic structure locations and attributes in Alabama.	View Layer Source Location
Cemeteries	Cemetery Sites Alabama	This dataset contains point data for named cemeteries derived from the National Map GNIS. The current file is not a complete listing of all cemeteries in Alabama, and only represents those named cemeteries that are mapped at 1:24000 scale by the USGS. It should be noted that this only represents a portion of the actual number of cemeteries in the state of Alabama, and it should not be considered a completed product.	View Layer Source Location
Hydrologic	USFWS National Wetlands Inventory	This data set represents the extent, approximate location, and type of wetlands. These data delineate the areal extent of wetlands and surface waters as defined by Cowardin et al. (1979). Once you click on the Wetlands Mapper, zoom in close to the property location to see hydrologic information.	View Layer Source Location
Critical Habitat	U.S. FWS Threatened & Endangered Species Active Critical Habitat Report	This data set represents ECOS Data Services/ ESA Species Critical Habitat Boundaries for threatened and endangered species. Critical Habitat is a specific geographic area(s) that contains features essential for the conservation of a threatened or endangered species, and that may require special management and protection. Critical habitat may include an area that is not currently occupied by the species, but that will be needed for its recovery.	View Layer Source Location
