Invasive carp mainstem habitat layers in the Lower Missouri, Middle Mississippi, Upper Mississippi, and Illinois rivers, compiled and modified by University of Missouri and U.S. Geological Survey, 2024 (ver. 2.0, June 2026)

This dataset consists of categorical mainstem habitat layers from the Lower Missouri, Middle Mississippi, Upper Mississippi, and Illinois rivers compiled or developed from imagery and topo bathymetric data to quantify the mainstem riverine habitat available to bighead carp, black carp, grass carp, or silver carp. Layers consist of engineered control structures, categorical habitats at an estimated bank-full river stage (1-2% discharge), and a raster depth layer (excluding the Lower Missouri).
