W., S. T. Knick, M. A. Schroeder, and S. J. Stiver. 2004. Conservation assessment of Greater Sage-grouse and sagebrush habitats. Western Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies. Unpublished Report. Cheyenne, Wyoming. Online_Linkage: http:\\sagemap.wr.usgs.gov Description: Abstract: Major roads in northern North America as determined by the U.S. National Atlas (edcftp.cr.usgs.gov) and The National Atlas of Canada (geogratis.cgdi.gc.ca). National data layers were re-attributed and merged to create a seemless major road layer for North America. Purpose: Originally created for the Sage Grouse Rangewide Conservation Assessment but useful for any large-scale evaluation of major roads and highways.
