MuleDeerResidentPopulationArea is an ESRI SDE Feature Class showing an
area that provides year-round range for a population of mule deer. The
resident mule deer use all of the area all year; it cannot be subdivided
into seasonal ranges although it may be included within the overall
range of the larger population.
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.
