Nevada Department of Water Resources State Crop Inventories for Newark, Little Smoky, and Steptoe Valleys 2000, 2002, and 2005
Description
This layer is geographically based on Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and
U.S. General Land Office Geographic Coordinate Data Base (GCDB)
1:24,000-scale Land survey Information System Data Base (LSIS) data for the
states of Nevada and Utah sourced from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS)
Digital Line Graph (DLG) dataset. Tabular data is derived from the Nevada
Division of Water Resources (NDWR) Crop Inventory Data. NDWR inventories
irrigated acreage for Newark and Steptoe Valleys on an annual basis. Estimates
of irrigated acreage are developed from observations made during field work
performed primarily during the August through December time period and are
reported annually in a series of crop inventories. The Newark Valley inventory
includes irrigation in the northern part of Little Smoky Valley. NDWR crop
inventories identify and define irrigated acreage by township, range, section,
quarter section, and quarter-quarter section. Only NDWR crop inventories for
2000, 2002, and 2005 are stored in the geodatabase.
