Major advancements in geographic information systems (GIS) and remote sensing techniques since 1989 have enabled a more comprehensive overview. Environmental Systems Research Institute (ESRI) ArcGIS 9.3 was the software utilized to display and analyze data and to design maps. Primary data sources for this document include the following: Utah Automated Geographic Reference Center (AGRC), the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), Utah Division of Wildlife Resources (UDWR), the United States Geological Survey (USGS) National Map Seamless Server, the United States
Department of Agriculture (USDA) Geospatial Data Gateway, Prism Climate Data, Daymet Climate Data, USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) STATSGO2 soil database, Federal Wildland Fire Occurrence Dataset, and USGS LANDFIRE (Landscape Fire and Resource Management Planning Tools Project). Each map provided within the document is accompanied with the relevant data sources.
