This dataset shows where largescale tree canopy damage was delineated in aerial surveys in 2019. Only forests in northern and central Minnesota were surveyed in 2019. Forests in...

Mathematically generated grid representing USGS 7 1/2 Minute Quadrangle Map outlines. Quadrangle names and standard identifiers are included with the data set.

This raster dataset is a detailed (1-acre minimum), hierarchically organized vegetation cover map produced by computer classification of combined two-season pairs of early-1990s...

These maps represent annual canopy cover from 1973-2018 for the state of Minnesota. This is an update to the original posting in February 2019 with improved maps for 2013-2015,...

This is a mathematically generated grid in which each polygon represents one quarter of a standard USGS 7 1/2 minute quadrangle. The result is a 3 3/4 minute quadrangle layer...

This layer shows waterbodies that have been treated for fish removal (i.e., "reclaimed") by DNR Fisheries. Some waterbodies have had multiple treatments (i.e., reclamation...

This Minnesota NLCD layer is derived from the full NLCD dataset. The national raster is clipped and projected to UTM Zone 15N. The 2019 NLCD used updated methodology and...

This dataset estimates the pollution sensitivity of near-surface materials from the transmission time of water through 3 feet of soil and 7 feet of surficial geology, to a depth...

This is a collection of 5 raster datasets and an ecoregions boundary file that were used to compile the report available here:...

This dataset estimates the water-table elevation from three primary sources: depth to water table in saturated soils from Natural Resources Conservation Service data (which are...

The Minnesota Groundwater Provinces map summarizes aquifer and groundwater resource differences at the regional level. Some parts of the state have several groundwater resources...

This layer shows the 10 large lakes involved in the Minnesota DNR Fisheries Large Lake Program. These lakes have surface areas greater than 15,000 acres and are some of the...

This data delineates the areas in the Mississippi River Corridor Critical Area (MRCCA) that have been identified as having a high potential for increased environmental quality...
