Susquehanna County Forest Buffer Summary35 . Width

Created by: Chesapeake Conservancy, February 2019

Data Descrip onThe buffer analysis is based on two Geospa al Informa on Systems (GIS) datasets created by ChesapeakeConservancy and partners. The enhanced flow path water network dataset was derived from 2006 &2008 PAMAP Statewide digital eleva on models (DEMs), developed from Lidar data. Channel headswere assigned where upslope drainage accumula on reached 60 acres. Flow paths were widenedbased on US Geological Survey regional curves and enhanced with high-resolu on land cover. Thehigh-resolu on land cover dataset was derived from 2013 Na onal Agriculture Inventory Programimagery. Both datasets have a spa al resolu on of 1 meter. Pixels from the high-resolu on land coverdataset within 35 . and 100 . distances of the enhanced flow path water network were considered inthe buffer analysis. For more informa on and to download datasets, go to www.ChesapeakeConservancy.org and search for “data downloader.”
