Major Land Resource Areas (MLRA) are a portion of the spatial
framework utilized by the Natural Resources Conservation Service in the
planning, design, implementation, and evaluation of natural resource management
activities. MLRA boundaries reflect nearly homogenous areas of landuse,
elevation, topography, climate, water resources, potential vegetation, and
soils.
If you need assistance in locating the MLRA, click on the MLRA Explorer link
below The MLRA Explorer is an interactive map-based application of USDA
Agriculture Handbook 296. With the tools in this application, you can:
(1) search for your MLRA by entering your State and County;
(2) search for LRRs and MLRAs using a variety of geographical
and textual queries.
