Contained here are KMZ, JSON, WKT (etc) files useful for Berkeleymapper, Reservemapper, and other biodiversity data applications such as Arctos, with the support of the Berkeley Natural History Museums.

All data hosted here is understood to be publicly available.

What is loaded currently:

Directory Name owner/agency source remarks
json bnhm digitized reserve boundaries. unsure of source The files in this directory are used in the ReserveMapper and named using + symbols instead of spaces with a postfix of .geojson (e.g. Younger+Lagoon.geojson)
cpad local, state, and federal Downloaded CPAD layers Contained in the CPAD directory are local, state, and federal layers automatically harvested from CPAD and converted to geoJSON using scripts/runCpad.sh
?? USGS 7.5 min topoquads Downloaded from ArcGIS Online This layer presents the geographic extent of USGS 1:24,000 topographic maps (7.5- by 7.5-minute quadrangles) for the conterminous U.S. forty-eight states and District of Columbia. It provides quadrangle name, identification number, publication data, and map coverage by state for each quadrangle. This large-scale index grid is appropriate for display at more detailed scales.

What we're working on:

California Subregional Hydrological Units (HUC) NRCS (USDA) Available here at NRCS data Metadata: http://www.nrcs.usda.gov/Internet/FSE_DOCUMENTS/stelprdb1042207.pdf (subregional codes for California Province); Bezier smoothing applied to KMZ
Terrestrial ecoregions (biome level?) World Wildlife Fund Available here at WWF Assuming that Global Biomes will be useful; 15 biomes just for North America (versus 151 ecoregions at next resolution
