Potential Wetland Areas This EnviroAtlas map depicts potential wetland areas in the U.S. which are defined, in this case, as areas that naturally accumulate water and contain some proportion of poorly- or very poorly-drained soils. This dataset was produced by combining digital elevation and soil drainage information.        
Potentially Restorable Wetlands On Agricultural Land This EnviroAtlas map depicts potentially restorable wetlands on agricultural land in the U.S. which are defined, in this case, as agricultural areas that naturally accumulate water and contain some proportion of poorly- or very poorly-drained soils. This dataset was produced by combining land cover, digital elevation, and soil drainage information.        
Rare Ecosystems This map for rare ecosystems in the conterminous U.S. delineates the Relative Rarity Metric developed by the EPA. The metric is based on current extent, spatial pattern type, and relative uniqueness. Metric values range from 0 to 100 with higher values indicating greater relative ecosystem rarity.        
State/County/Census Block Groups Boundaries used for EnviroAtlas data processing (communities and HUC (12 Digit) Subwatershed) and other reference boundary data (i.e., states).
