About the Map

The map allows individuals to explore hotspots of conservation activity in Illinois using relevant data to reveal connections between factors including conservation programs, farm size, soil productivity and erodibility, outreach activities, diversity of crop rotations, etc. To use the map:

• Use the sliders on the left side of the map to identify counties that fall above or below the state average.
• View different base maps by selecting one of the options (above the map in the upper left corner) to see how additional landscape characteristics, such as corn rotation frequency, soil productivity index, highly erodible land, or average farm size, relate to the identified hotspots.
• Use the scroll-wheel on your mouse or use the “+” or “-“ icons in the lower right corner of the map to adjust magnification level.

Click on specific counties (outlined in black) to view detailed information about the county, conservation hotspots, and conservation incentive programs.
