The Simple Map Viewer is for viewing one natural resource theme at a time such as farmland soils, wetland soils, protected open space, natural diversity data base areas, and water quality classifications. Select the map theme to display and optionally overlay it on aerial photography or elevation. The simple map viewer includes links to CT ECO Data Guides and Resource Guides that explain each map theme. Map themes in the simple map viewer closely correspond with the maps available in the Map Catalog.
The Advanced Map Viewer is an interactive map viewer that provides more tools than the Simple Map Viewer as well as the possibility to combine many different data layers.

To better understand how Connecticut’s coastal area marshes and roads may respond to sea level rise (SLR), Sea Level Affecting Marshes Model (SLAMM) was applied to Connecticut’s shoreline by Warren Pinnacle Consulting, Inc. This viewer displays the model’s results for Connecticut’s 21 largest marshes and all coastal area roads. For marshes, SLAMM was run two hundred times using alternative model inputs for key model parameters, including various SLR scenarios, to produce probability based results of likely future marsh conditions. For roads, the model uses a single SLR scenario of about 4.2 feet by 2100 from the base year of 2002.
