Everglades Headwaters National Wildlife Refuge and Conservation Area: Geodesign Urbanization Layer

Published by U.S. Geological Survey | Department of the Interior | Metadata Last Checked: July 16, 2025 | Last Modified: 20180514
Geodesign Technologies conducted an initial assessment of the development likelihood and conservation priority for the Everglades Headwaters National Wildlife Refuge and Conservation Area study region in central Florida. Geodesign used two prior analyses as the basis for this assessment, both of which are at a statewide Florida scale. The University of Florida's CLIP3 (Critical Lands and Waters Identification Project 3.0; Oetting et. al 2014) was the basis for the biodiversity assessment, and their prior statewide scenario simulations (Vargas et al. 2014) were used as an indicator of likelihood of development under a suite of divergent statewide policies.
