The following MRLC datasets are published as map services. These map services are available as Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) Web Map Services (WMS). To utilize these services via your GIS application, copy the URL of your chosen service from the lists below (right click > copy link address).
Using the MRLC OGC Services
The following links provide tutorials on how to add the MRLC WMS layers to the QGIS and ArcMap clients.

MRLC OGC Services
RCMAP products can be found on RCMAP and EAG ArcGIS Online or by searching “RCMAP” in ArcPro software.
RCMAP-Exotic Annual Grass products can be found on RCMAP and EAG ArcGIS Online or by searching “RCMAP Exotic Annual Grass” in ArcPro software.
Date ranges for input imagery used to create each week of RCMAP-EAG estimates and display dates are slightly different. Estimates are created and released for weeks 10-38 each year 2016 to present.
The weekly image composites used to create EAG products start on January 1st each year (e.g. Week 1 starts on 1/1 and ends on 1/7). The result is less than a full (7 day) week for the last week of the year. Also, January 1 occurs on different days of the week each year. To display the products in a time series on the MRLC Rangelands Viewer all weeks must be 7 days. Weekly start and end dates have been adjusted in name only to start on Mondays and end on Sundays for viewing and graphing.
If you're viewing the data using ArcGIS Online or streaming data from the MRLC Rangelands Viewer using MRLC OGC Services, the data in the table linked below will allow you to configure the services so the products display correctly. The dates in this table are also used for the graphs. In both cases, the dates differ from the actual date ranges used to create EAG products.
