This dataset represents ease of access to bottomland areas for vegetation treatments. Access may be by road, 4x4 near road, hike in by field crews or requiring overnight camping or raft access. Access is considered for each side of the river separately.

This data set shows the extent of the Colorado River Conservation Planning project bottomland area as delineated by topography and vegetation, The bottomland area is subdivided into 1 km polygons measured from the upstream project boundary. Reach breaks were determined by large topographic shifts and/or tributary junctions by John Dohrenwend. Please see the project report for more details.

Welcome to the Colorado River Conservation Planning Project The Colorado River project area extends from the Utah/Colorado border to the upper limit of Lake Powell, covering 146 river miles and nearly 20,000 acres of river bottomland. The project area includes habitats for many different wildlife and fish species and human interactions. Data presented here have been developed in cooperation with land managers, resource experts and restoration professionals for use in restoration and conservation planning. On this site you will find: A detailed report (see link on this page) that summarizes data sources, methods, ecology of the study area, assessment results, and recommendations for restoration approaches; Downloadable...
This is a model showing general habitat diversity, including both the structural and cover type diversity. See Open File Report, Rasmussen and Shafroth, Colorado River Conservation Planning for geoprocessing details.

The Negro Bill reach extends for 5 km from just upstream of the mouth of Negro Bill Canyon (Bkm 124) to the US 191 highway bridge on the northeast edge of Moab Valley (Bkm 129). This moderately sinuous reach (average sinuosity - 1.3) flows within a deep (90 to275 m deep), narrow (245 to 460 m wide) asymmetric canyon that cuts across very gently dipping strata (mostly sandstones) of the Kayenta and Navajo Formations. This reach marks the upstream limit of a continuous series of very low gradient reaches that extends downstream for almost 116 river kilometers to the upstream limit of Cataract Canyon. The average gradient of this reach is about 0.03%. Shrubs are the most prevalent cover type in this reach with...
Final model for bat feeding plus all model component layers. For more detailed information, please visit this project's ScienceBase landing page at https://doi.org/10.5066/P927I36K, or the final report for this project at https://www.coloradomesa.edu/water-center/documents/rasmussen_shaftroth_2016_watercenter_cmu.pdf.
This dataset represents the relative average amount of non-woody cover within 2 ha) of bottomland along the Colorado River from the Colorado state line (San Juan and Grand Counties, Utah) to the southern Canyonlands NP boundary, as of September 2010. Traditional image interpretation cues were used to develop the polygons, such as shape, size, pattern, tone, texture, color, and shadow, from high resolution, true color, aerial imagery (0.3m resolution), acquired for the project. Additional, public available aerial photos (NAIP, 2011) were used to cross-reference cover classes. As with any digital layer, this layer is a representation of what is actually occurring on the ground. Errors are inherent in any interpretation...

This dataset represents the variety (unique structural classes: water, bare, herbaceous, short shrubs, medium shrubs, short trees, tall trees) within 1 ha of bottomland areas. Traditional image interpretation cues were used to develop the polygons, such as shape, size, pattern, tone, texture, color, and shadow, from high resolution, true color, aerial imagery (0.3m resolution), acquired for the project. Additional, public available aerial photos (NAIP, 2011) were used to cross-reference cover classes. As with any digital layer, this layer is a representation of what is actually occurring on the ground. Errors are inherent in any interpretation of ground qualities. Due to the "snapshot" nature of the aerial photos,...

This map shows the channel boundary (2011) of the Colorado River mainstem between the Utah Colorado border and the upper pool of Lake Powell, Utah (146 miles). The channel boundary was mapped from public available NAIP imagery flown on June 28, 2011, when the river flow was 886 m3/s at the Cisco gage. The channel is subdivided into channel types: fast water (main channel, secondary channel), and still water types (backwater, isolated pool and tributary channel).

The upper Meander Canyon reach extends for 12 km from Bkm 78 near the south end of Pyramid Butte to Bkm 90 at the mouth of Shafer Canyon. This meandering canyon trends generally east-west across broadly-folded, sub-horizontal strata of the Honaker Trail Fm and Cutler Fm (locally capped by the arkosic facies of the Cutler Fm). The canyon is generally symmetric in cross-profile, 520 to 915 m wide and 75 to 150 m deep. The average gradient along this reach and throughout Meander Canyon from Pyramid Butte to Cataract Canyon is approximately 0.02%. This gradient is the lowest defined by this project. Shrubs dominate the vegetative cover in this reach: tamarisk (22%), willow (10%), native xeric shrubs (7%), and desert...
