LEGEND

REGIONALUndeveloped Block Sizes

The colored areas of this map represent undeveloped areas that are defined by a 500 foot buffer around all improved roads identified by the Maine Department of Transportation and all developed areas identified in the 1993 Statewide GAP Land Cover Analysis. Blocks > 100 acres are labeled with their size in acres. The areas marked in transparent grey hatching represent a 500' buffer on newly available road data collected for the E911 program. Because E911 data does not identify which roads are improved, it is not clear which of these roads fragment large habitat blocks. Therefore, this data was not used in the Undeveloped Habitat Blocks analysis. However, local knowledge of the condition of these roads should be used to more accurately identify Undeveloped Habitat Blocks.Within the Undeveloped Habitat Blocks, the general landuse/landcover is shown. The general landuse/landcover categories are described in the legend below.

Landuse/Landcover (General Categories)AGRICULTURAL LANDSLandcover types where human intervention maintains an open landscape dominated by grasses, row crops, or blueberry bushes.WETLANDSTransitional landcover types between open water and uplands. The U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service defines wetlands in terms of a landscape unit that must have at least one of the 3 following characteristics: (1) supports predominantly hydrophytes (wetland plants); (2) substrate is predominantly undrained, hydric (wet) soils; (3) if the substrate is non-soil, it is saturated or covered with water during at least part of the growing season.FOREST LANDSLands dominated by forests with tree crown closure of >10% and capable of producing trees suitable for harvesting. Includes areas that have been harvested recently (clearcuts, light-partial, or heavy-partial cuts), are in various states of regeneration (early or late), and mature forests.OTHERExposed rock/talus, alpine tundraUNORGANIZED TOWNSHIPSData on improved roads is less available for unorganized towns.E911 ROADS (with 500-ft. buffer)
