This project assembled 42 GIS coverages as a baseline for landsape design work as well as for projecting urbanization patterns at 2020 and 2050 using a Land Transformation Model. The coverage are below. The technical report, Red Lake River Corridor Land Use Change Projections (.pdf, 220Kb), detailing landscape projections is also available.
You will need WinZip or conperable software to
open and extract (unpack) these files. When you have installed Winzip, right click on the on
icon
below and select 'save target as' (or 'save link as'). Save the file to a specific
location on your local machine. Locate and open the file (double click). This will
then open a WinZip browser listing the Red lake River GIS coverage files. To use the files,
click 'Extract' in the top bar and extract the files to a specific location. You may then proceed to
open the files in a GIS. You can download a free GIS called OpenEV (OpenEV is
a library, and reference application for viewing and analysing raster and vector
geospatial data) at http://openev.sourceforge.net/.
