This is a MD iMAP hosted service. Find more information at http://imap.maryland.gov. The statewide vector file shows buffered areas that primarily contain habitat for rare - threatened - and endangered species and rare natural community types. It was created over USGS 7.5 minute topographic quadrangle maps and it generally includes - but does not specifically delineate - such regulated areas as Natural Heritage Areas - Wetlands of Special State Concern - Colonial Waterbird Colonies - and Habitat Protection Areas. Version 1 also included Waterfowl Concentration and Staging Areas - but these areas have not been included in subsequent versions. The file is best displayed by the Group"" attribute.Feature Service Link:https://mdgeodata.md.gov/imap/rest/services/Biota/MD_LivingResources/FeatureServer ADDITIONAL LICENSE TERMS: The Spatial Data and the information therein (collectively the ""Data"") is provided "as is" without warranty of any kind either expressed implied or statutory.
