These layers show the relative abundance of native, non-native and tree cover types as mapped for the Colorado River Conservation Planning Project. Relative abundance (Dominant, Common, Mapped by Sparse and Not Mapped) is determined by the listing of cover types per patch.

Two models of fire risk are presented here. One shows risk of natural fire based on abundance of tamarisk and native trees only. The other shows risk of all fire, which includes abundance of tamarisk and native trees, but also proximity of human ignition sources (roads and campgrounds). Associated layers of the river channel at low flow and bottomland boundaries are included for reference.

This dataset represents the prevalence of trees as mapped along the Colorado River bottomland from the Colorado state line (San Juan and Grand Counties, Utah) to the southern Canyonlands NP boundary, as of September 2010. This mapping was conducted as part of the Colorado River Conservation Planning Project, a joint effort between the National Park Service, The Nature Conservancy, US Geological Survey, Bureau of Land Management, and Utah Forestry Fire and State Lands.

This map shows stillness of water near bank vegetation within 15 m of 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: main channel, secondary channel, backwater, isolated pool and tributary channel.
This short, alluvial reach (5 km) flows between McGraw Bottom (to the northwest, Bkm 183) and Hotel Bottom (to the SE). Hotel Bottom (Bkm 178) is a low fluvial terrace veneered by gently sloping alluvial fan deposits. McGraw Bottom is, for the most part, an active floodplain formed by deposition of fine-grained sediments at mouths of Cisco Wash and Sagers Wash. These two southeast-flowing washes drain an extensive area to the north and east that is underlain primarily by mudstones and claystones, and to a lesser extent, by fine grained sandstones of the Mancos Shale. Along this reach, the valley of the Colorado is straight, broad and shallow. The valley is underlain by the Mancos Shale (to the northwest) and...
