Survey grid (50 x 50 m) for conducting field-based invasive plant surveys on Minidoka National Wildlife Refuge
vector digital data
https://ecos.fws.gov/ServCat/Reference/Profile/XXXXXXXX
This geospatial dataset consists of a 50 x 50 m "fishnet" grid that overlays the Minidoka National Wildlife Refuge and is used for conducting field-based invasive plant surveys.
This dataset was created to facilitate field-based invasive plant surveys. Each grid-cell constitutes a possible survey area within which a field surveyor documents the presence/absence of a suite of target species. The grid layer is displayed on a mobile device (smartphone or tablet) allowing the surveyor to navigate to the grid cell and establishes the geospatial boundaries of each survey.
This geospatial dataset has no known date of expiration.

National Wildlife Refuge Boundary Layer
This geospatial dataset was used to establish the boundary of the refuge for which the grid was created
Export the boundary layer as a shapefile and add to ArcGIS Pro
National Wildlife Refuge Boundary Layer
20200522
Use the "Create Fishnet" tool (XTools Pro)to create a 50 x 50 m rectangular grid that spans the boundary of the refuge
20200522
Add the following fields to the grid layer created by the Fishnet tool
- Use the X and Y indexes to create a single field named XY_Index which serves as a unique Identifier
- Add a Grid_Name field and assign the name of the grid (e.g., "Minidoka_NWR_50x50m_2020") for all grid cells
- Add a text field named Surveyed and set to "No" for all grid cells
- Add a text field named XY_Coord and assign the X,Y coordinates (geographic) of the grid cell's centroid to this field

Survey grid (50 x 50 m) for Minidoka National Wildlife Refuge
Geospatial dataset consisting of a 50 x 50 m "fishnet" grid that overlays the Minidoka National Wildlife Refuge.
Producer Defined
FID
Internal feature number.
ESRI
Sequential unique whole numbers that are automatically generated.
Shape
Feature geometry.
ESRI
Coordinates defining the features.
Y_Index
This is an integer field that indicates the vertical position of a grid cell. Values of 0 are the farthest south. Values assigned by the Fishnet tool upon creation of the data layer.
Producer Defined
0

X_Index
This is an integer field that indicates the horizontal position of a grid cell. Values of 0 are the farthest west. Values assigned by the Fishnet tool upon creation of the data layer.
Producer Defined
0
10000
Grid_Name
Name of the grid which consists of the year the grid was created, the size of the grid, and the refuge or complex for which it was created (e.g., Minidoka_NWR_50x50m_2020). Note that the grid name should be the same for all features in this data set.
Producer Defined
Minidoka_NWR_50x50m_2020
Grid_ID
Unique ID of a grid cell (e.g., X100Y35). Note that both the grid name and grid id are necessary to unambiguously correlate the survey results to a geographic area. Note that this field was created from the X_Index and Y_Index fields.
Producer Defined

XY_Coord
This text field contains the latitude and longitude of the centroid of the grid cell separated by a comma (e.g., 42.6503575252863,-113.469748552465)
Producer Defined
N/A
SurveyedThis text field indicates whether a grid cell has been surveyed or not within some given time period (e.g., a year). After a grid cell has been surveyed, it is set to "yes" by the field surveyor. This field can be reset to "No" if needed to accommodate multiple years of surveys.Producer Defined
No
This grid cell has not been surveyed (default).
Producer defined
Yes
This grid cell has been surveyed.
Producer defined
GlobalID
This is a universally unique identifier (UUID) assigned to a record in the dataset when it is published to ArcGIS Online.
Producer Defined
N/A
This dataset consists of a single layer. Each record in the layer represents a single 50 x 50 m grid cell.
