Map created by UVLSRPC, Dec 2013.Data sources: Data distributed by Complex Systems ResearchCenter (CSRC), University of New Hampshire (UNH) via NHGRANIT. Data updated/corrected by Cornish ConservationCommission, 2012. Roads from the NH Department ofTransportation, Bureau of Planning and Community Assistance,2012. Conserved lands from CSRC, UNH, 1:24,000 scale, 2012,with updates, 2013. Water features from NH Hydrography Dataset,2006. Town boundary from CSRC, UNH, 1992. See inset maps fordata sources associated with component layers of the cooccurrenceanalysis.Disclaimer: Digital data in NH GRANIT represent the efforts of thecontributing agencies to record information from the cited sourcematerials. Complex Systems Research Center (CSRC), undercontract to the Office of Energy and Planning (OEP), and inconsultation with cooperating agencies, maintains a continuingprogram to identify and correct errors in these data. OEP, CSRC,and the cooperating agencies make no claim as to the validity orreliability or to any implied uses of these data.

Components of the Co-occurrence AnalysisWater Resources- Aquifers mapped by US Geological Survey

Agricultural Resources-Prime and state agricultural soils mapped by Grafton County Soil Survey

Tier 1 and 2 Wildlife Habitat- by NH Fish and Game, 2010 Wildlife Action Plan

Large Parcels

Agricultural LandAll areas are prime farmlandFarmland of statewide importance

Highest Ranked Habitat in New HampshireHighest Ranked Habitat in Biological Region

A co-occurrence analysis shows wheremultiple natural resources are found at thesame location.Each of the five natural resource componentwere virtually "stacked" one on top of theother using the computer mapping softwareArcGIS. Where the features in all fourcomponent maps overlapped, the co-occurrence analysis shows a value of "four."Where the features in only three of the fourcomponent maps overlapped, the analysisshows a value of "three" and so on.This is one tool of many to use in evaluatingnatural resources values on a town-widebasis. The analysis provides generalinformation for town-wide conservationplanning and land management, which maybe followed up by site-specific studies.
