 Irrigation Wells (2001)
This data set is a point coverage. It only contains those wells for which active irrigation is shown in the Green River Irrigated Lands Coverage of 2000. This entails all lands in the vicinity of Rock Springs and Baggs, Wyoming in the Green River Basin. The information was collected by Frank Carr of Water Rights Services, Inc. from the well permits and applications on file with the Wyoming State Engineer's Office. The points are approximately located by quarter quarter according to the SEO permit. The data structure for this data set is based on graph theory, in which a two-dimensional diagram is expressed as a set of spatial objects in a manner that explicitly expresses logical relationships. Applied to a map, this concept is used to encode the spatial relationships between the objects, including such concepts as adjacency and connectivity between objects. A topologically structured data file can support graphic applications, as well as computations and analyses involving the spatial objects and their spatial relationships.

 Average Annual Precipitation (1961-1990) (1998)
This ftp site contains vector and polygon coverages of average monthly and annual precipitation for the climatological period 1961-90. Parameter-elevation Regressions on Independent Slopes Model (PRISM) derived raster data is the underlying data set from which the polygons and vectors were created. PRISM is an analytical model that uses point data and a digital elevation model (DEM) to generate gridded estimates of annual, monthly and event-based climatic parameters. Detailed descriptions of the PRISM raster data can be found with the accompanying raster data sets. For further information, the online PRISM homepage can be found at .

 Hydologic Unit Code Boundaries, 4th Level (1994)
The Geographic Information Retrieval and Analysis System (GIRAS) was developed in the mid 70s to put into digital form a number of data layers which were of interest to the USGS. One of these data layers was the Hydrologic Units. The map is based on the Hydrologic Unit Maps published by the U.S. Geological Survey Office of Water Data Coordination, together with the list descriptions and name of region, subregion, accounting units, and cataloging unit. The hydrologic units are encoded with an eight- digit number that indicates the hydrologic region (first two digits), hydrologic subregion (second two digits), accounting unit (third two digits), and cataloging unit (fourth two digits). The data produced by GIRAS was originally collected at a scale of 1:250,000. This data set is a modification for Wyoming of the original United States HUC data produced by the USGS. The primary modifications made in this data set by the Wyoming Water Resources Center include 1) removal of hydrologic units that do not drain witi Wyoming and 2) modification of the hydrologic unit boundaries to better encompass streams and lakes represented in the 1:100,000 scale Digital Line Graph (DLG) of surficial hydrography. The HUC boundaries have not been "clipped" to the Wyoming border, in order to maintain the natural boundaries of the units. This metadata has also been altered from original USGS metadata to be more specific for Wyoming.

 Irrigated Land (2000)
This data set is a polygon coverage. It only contains irrigated acreage in the Green River, Little Snake, and Great Divide basin within Wyoming. The initial interpretation of irrigated lands due to the works of man was taken from 1982 and 1983 aerial infra-red photos. The interpretation was then revised with 1999infra-red satellite photography. Upon completion of digitizing these areas, StateEngineer personnel provided comments for proposed alterations to the delineation. The data structure for this data set is based on graph theory, in which a two-dimensional diagram is expressed as a set of spatial objects in a manner that explicitly expresses logical relationships. Applied to a map, this concept is used to encode the spatial relationships between the objects, including such concepts as adjacency and connectivity between objects. A topologically structured data file can support graphic applications,as well as computations and analyses involving the spatial objects and their spatialrelationships. Irrigated lands and sub-irrigated lands are differentiated.

 Hydrography 100k (1996)
Hydrographic features for Wyoming at 1:100,000-scale, including perennial and intermittent designations and Strahler stream order attributes for streams. Does not include man-made ditches, canals and aqueducts. The data was originally produced by USGS, a Digital Line Graph (DLG) product, though this product was enhanced (edgematched, some linework and attributes corrected, stream order attribute added). A subset of this dataset is also available for distribution, including only major streams (order 4 to 7) and major lakes and reservoirs. In order to reduce the size of this subset, the line segments were dissolved to remove unncessary segments. Both datasets are available in Arc export file and shapefile format for download (see Onlink_Linkage) Statewide and tiled data: there is one export file, which when imported into ARC/INFO, will contain one coverage with both polygon (lakes, reservoirs) and line (streams) topology and two feature attribute files (.PAT and .AAT) along with three additional attribute filecontaining descriptive information. In shapefile format, there will be two shapefiles (polygons and lines separated), with all attribute files in Dbase format.
