Abstract or Description

This is a map showing an overlay of Maine’s conserved lands and biophysical regions. This gives the viewer a sense of the amount of land conserved in each of Maine’s unique habitats. Rivers and lakes giver the viewer a sense of orientation, as do the surrounding lands, ocean and inset map.

Data was gathered from: http://www.maine.gov/megis/catalog/

Only larger lakes and rivers are labeled to provide label clarity and avoid an information overload. A hillshade layer gives the map texture. The conserved lands are shown with a semi-transparent white fill.
