The Vegetation Types of Texas
- Categorizes and maps existing vegetation (habitat) types statewide using organized ground-truthing procedures and recent technology involving Landsat (earth satellite) data and computer classification analyses.
- Vegetation/Cover Types of Texas 2000
- This vegetation/cover-type map of Texas is a result of efforts by the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department to delineate
and categorize existing vegetation and landcover types statewide using Landsat data (1972 to 1980), computer classification analysis, and systematic accuracy verification procedures. It represents information summarized from a mosaic of larger scale vegetation maps published by the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department. Map units are derived from the 1984 map The Vegetation Types of Texas published by the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department. Map shows 53 vegetation cover
types. - Water Integration and Dissemination (WIID) System
- Maps of wells in groundwater and brackish ground water, wells in submitted driller's reports, and a surface water data and mapping tool. WIID is a four-year program utilizing internet-based mapping technology to significantly improve internal and external access to water-related data.
