California Parcel Fragmentation

While working at GreenInfo Network we developed the WordPress website and maps illustrating the parcel fragmentation of land ownership in California. As one of the first projects of its kind, the California Parcel Fragmentation website sought to help interested parties understand the change from a native landscape to the fragmented ownership of today and the challenges that fragmentation presents. The degree of fragmentation of the private, rural land parcels is a critical factor for the future of ranching and farming, habitat conservation, fire prevention, delivery of services, water quality and much more. Deep zoom technology was used to enable users access to detail not visible on a printed map.
