The USFWS National Wetland Inventory did map all of Colorado in the 1970s and 1980s, in the early years of the program. However, all the early maps were produced as mylar overlays of U.S. Geological Survey topographic maps. The only way to obtain NWI mapping was to purchase the data as a hard-copy paper map, one topographic quadrangle at a time. CNHP started working on wetland mapping in 2007, when less than 15% of the state had digital data available. Since 2007, CNHP focused on converting scanned NWI images into digital data for huge areas of the state, and we have produced updated photo-interpretation of wetland mapping in several areas. As of 2015, we now have statewide digital coverage of NWI mapping for all of Colorado. CNHP has been able to accomplish this by partnering with numerous agencies such as Colorado Parks and Wildlife, the Environmental Protection Agency, the Bureau of Land Management, the U.S. Forest Service, the Transportation Research Board, the Southern Rockies Landscape Conservation Cooperative and several local governments.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cnhp.colostate.edu\/cwic\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2022\/09\/WetlandMapping_ImgYr_wQuads.png\" alt=\"Status map of wetland mapping by image year.\" height=\"1800\" width=\"2100\" title=\"WetlandMapping_ImgYr_wQuads\" \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tStatus map of wetland mapping by image year.\nFor information, contact \n<a href=\"mailto:joanna.lemly@ColoState.EDU?subject=Wetlands Mapper\">\nJoanna Lemly<\/a>. \n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wetlands Mapper The Colorado Wetland Inventory Mapping Tool displays several different datasets depicting the location and classification of [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"parent":28,"menu_order":1,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","footnotes":""},"class_list":{"0":"post-127","1":"page","2":"type-page","3":"status-publish","5":"entry","6":"override"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/cnhp.colostate.edu\/cwic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/127","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/cnhp.colostate.edu\/cwic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/cnhp.colostate.edu\/cwic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cnhp.colostate.edu\/cwic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cnhp.colostate.edu\/cwic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=127"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/cnhp.colostate.edu\/cwic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/127\/revisions"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cnhp.colostate.edu\/cwic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/28"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/cnhp.colostate.edu\/cwic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=127"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
