Farmland Class
This layer classifies soils types by farmland importance. Important farmlands consist of prime farmland, unique farmland, and farmland of statewide or local importance. Within these classifications, limitations to farmland importance may be noted. See Prime Farmlands Definitions for further information.
Drought Intensity, U.S. Drought Monitor
This layer displays areas that experienced dry or drought conditions in the last seven days. Data are retrieved as shapefiles from the U.S. Drought Monitor and are updated on a weekly basis. The affected areas are represented by polygons, which are classified according to drought intensity. Using quantitative and objective indicators, as well as local…

Hydrography – Rivers & Streams
Hydrography depicts surface water, including rivers and streams, lakes and ponds, canals, coastlines, and many other water features. The Hydrography layer combines two data sets: the 2021 National Map Hydrographic Geodatabase (1:1,000,000 scale) for small to medium scales, and the 2016 National Hydrography Datataset (NHD) (1:24,000 scale) for large scale mapping. Hydrography is depicted in…
