• forest91  FOREST91 represents the overall habitat values for 91 priority trust species of the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, within forested cover types, in the U.S. portion of the Gulf of Maine watershed. Habitats for each species were mapped and ranked from actual sightings or by developing habitat suitability models reflecting environmental requirements for each species. Scores for each species were then added to derive the sum of scores for all species combined. The value for each cell reflects both the number of species using each cell and the relative habitat suitability for those species.

• gomlc7  GOMLC7 provides land cover data from five interpretations of Landsat data and wetland cover. Photo-interpretations were combined to yield a 31-class raster (grid) digital dataset, "GOMLC7", for the Gulf of Maine watershed. Themes of higher resolution or data quality were overlaid on more generic or older data to produce a product having best available interpretation for each cover class. This is projected as UTM zone 19, NAD83, dimensions in meters, and has a 30m cell size. For more information about the USFW Gulf of Maine Program and a CD of data from the Gulf of Maine Watershed Habitat Analysis plus supplemental information about GOMLC7 see: http://gulfofmaine.fws.gov/ and http://r5gomp.fws.gov/gom/habitatstudy/metadata/Landcover_Data_Methods.htm - Download this layer
  
  
• grass91  GRASS91 represents the overall habitat values, within grassland, shrub, and bare ground cover types for 91 priority trust species of the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, in the U.S. portion of the Gulf of Maine watershed. Habitats for each species were mapped and ranked from actual sightings or by developing habitat suitability models reflecting environmental requirements for each species. Scores for each species were then added to derive the sum of scores for all species combined. The value for each cell reflects both the number of species using each cell and the relative habitat suitability for those species.

• mecnslnd  MECNSLND contains conservation lands ownership boundaries at 1:24,000 scale for Maine land in federal, state, and non-profit ownership with easements. State, county, town, and coast boundary data were obtained from MEGIS town boundary dataset METWP24. 1:24,000 US Geological Survey (USGS) digital line graph data was used for hydrography and transportation features. Where state, county, and town boundaries were coincident with property boundaries, the coincident features were taken from METWP24. Where hydrography, roads, railroads and power-lines were coincident with property boundaries, the coincident features were taken from 1:24,000 digital line graph data. The ownership lines do not represent legal boundaries nor are the ownership lines a survey. MECNSLND is an inventory. Original mapping and text on this theme, produced in 1989 and updated in 1993 by R.D. Kelly Jr., Maine State Planning Office (MESPO). MESPO contacted agencies and organizations to obtain locations of conservation and public lands, and prepared hard copy maps. Mapping was based on USGS 1:250,000 quadrangles and was originally published in digital form by the Maine Office of GIS as MEPUB250. The Maine Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research Unit, University of Maine at Orono, digitized the maps, built the attribute database and subsequently, compiled the data at 1:100,000 scale with standard USGS quadrangles as a base to produce MEPUB100. MEPUB100 was used as a basemap for the development of MECNSLND. - Download this layer
