Description:
BighornWaterSource is an ESRI SDE Feature Class showing Water sources known to be utilized by bighorn sheep in dry, water scarce areas. Up to a 1.6km radius should be described around a point source, and up to a 1.6km band be drawn along a river or stream. 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).
