MuleDeerConcentrationArea is an ESRI SDE Feature Classshowing that part
of the overall range where higher quality habitat supports significantly
higher densities than surrounding areas. These areas are typically
occupied year round and are not necessarily associated with a specific
season. Includes rough break country, riparian areas, small drainages,
and large areas of irrigated cropland.
This information was derived from field personnel. A variety of data
capture techniques were used including drawing on mylar overlays at
1:50,000 scale USGS county mapsheets and implementation of the
SmartBoard Interactive Whiteboard using stand-up, real-time digitizing
at various scales (Cowardin, M., M. Flenner. March 2003. Maximizing
Mapping Resources. GeoWorld 16(3):32-35).
Dataset was acquired from a third party distributor who obtained it from CDOW in January 2011. The authoritative data source is available on ArcGIS.com (http://www.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=e10b0db0167a4dde909357b5c13354f1) and will be updated from that location.
