Coverage
California (Forest Service Region 5): 11 CALVEG mapping sections (Central Coast, Central Valley, Great Basin, North Coast East/Mid/West, North Interior, North Sierra, South Coast, South Interior, South Sierra), about 657,000 polygons in total, plus a CALVEG zone/tile index layer. Section vintages differ: EDW files date from 2018 to 2021, and source imagery spans roughly 1998-2015. Mapping scale is 1:24,000 to 1:100,000. Sections cover all land ownerships, not only National Forest System land. Some sections are partial zones, for example the northeastern part of Zone 6 for Central Coast.

Polygons are typed with the CALVEG system and crosswalked to the California Wildlife Habitat Relationship (CWHR) classes, with life form, cover type, tree size and canopy cover. Each section ships as its own file geodatabase (14-528 MB). One map service serves all sections plus the zone index.
