US Fish & Wildlife Service National Wetlands Inventory — the most comprehensive map of wetlands and deepwater habitats across the United States. 38,065,251 features across all 50 states + DC, classified using the Cowardin system.
https://data.source.coop/giswqs/nwi/wetlands/https://s3-west.nrp-nautilus.io/public-wetlands/nwi/stac-collection.jsonThe PMTiles source-layer name is nwi-v2 (preserved from the per-state build):
ATTRIBUTE follows the
Cowardin classification system:
System / Subsystem / Class / Subclass / Water Regime / Modifier encoded as a compact
string (e.g. L1UBHh = Lacustrine / Limnetic / Unconsolidated Bottom / Permanently
Flooded / Diked-Impounded). The 8 WETLAND_TYPE values above are coarser rollups of
the Cowardin codes provided by USFWS.
In the hex asset, one row = one (feature, h10-cell) pair, so any attribute that
represents a per-feature total (ACRES, Shape_Length, Shape_Area) is repeated
on every cell that feature covers. Naive SUM(ACRES) on hex data over-counts
proportional to feature size. To compute totals:
COUNT(DISTINCT h10) * cell_area_at_resolution_10SELECT SUM(ACRES) FROM (SELECT DISTINCT _cng_fid, ACRES FROM hex)Per-feature filters/groupings (e.g. WHERE WETLAND_TYPE = 'Lake') are safe;
the dedup matters only when you aggregate a per-feature numeric column.
