<idAbs>GrSageGrouseLekSites is an ESRI SDE Feature Class showing those areas known to be used by sage grouse within the last 10 years from the date of mapping. "Use" is defined as 1) radio telemetry locations, 2) confirmed observations of birds or sign by reliable sources, 3) documented use reported in unpublished reports or publications (mapped by field biologists). Mapped as a buffer zone of 1.0 miles around all lek points (Active, Inactive), except 'Unknown' in the feature class GrSageGrouseLeks. This information was derived from field personnel. A variety of data capture techniques were used including drawing on mylar overlays at 1:50,000 scale USGS county mapsheets and implementation of the SmartBoard Interactive Whiteboard using stand-up, real-time digitizing at various scales (Cowardin, M., M. Flenner. March 2003. Maximizing Mapping Resources. GeoWorld 16(3):32-35).</idAbs>
