Publishing and Archiving

The statewide dataset is updated semi-annually to incorporate newly mapped project areas and published to the GIS Data List. The dataset is available for download via the GIS Data List, delivered via a web map service, and delivered in the Montana Natural Heritage Program MapViewer.

A copy of the dataset is submitted to the Montana State Library archive at the end of each calendar year if the dataset was re-published since the last submission to the archive.
