  Description:
    Abstract:
      This GIS dataset represents the efforts to map mule deer habitat in North America. Habitat delineations were drawn on 1:250 K USGS quadrangles by regional experts and tablet digitized. Six classes of habitat were delineated and digitized as separate GIS datasets. This dataset represents OTHER IMPORTANT HABITAT (CLASS C). OTHER IMPORTANT HABITAT is defined as : Areas that are part of the overal 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. Examples include: rough break country, riparian areas, small drainiages and large areas of irrigated cropland, migration corridors, highway crossings, fawning areas, etc.
    Purpose:
      This dataset may be used by natural resource managers for planning and management accross large, state and regional landscapes.
