Common Resource Areas
>The purpose of the National Coordinated Common Resource Area (CRA) geographic database is to provide a logical index and ready access to guidance documents for Section III of the electronic Field Office Technical Guide (eFOTG). The digital CRA map will provide map-based World Wide Web access to eFOTG and CRA specific guidance documents, conservation plans, and resource management systems, making this information easily accessible to NRCS clients, partners, and technical service providers. The CRA geographic database is an archived product. The CRAs published here are based on sources that have been updated several times since the original CRA publication was directed in a 2003 NRCS National Bulletin. These data sources include the Soil Survey Geographic Database and Major Land Resource Areas publication. The CRA database continues to be available to ensure work organized based on CRA spatial extent can maintain consistency.
