Supplemental Material for: The Ideal Distribution of Farmers: Explaining the Euro-American Settlement of Utah

The data include three supplemental tables necessary to replicate the analyses performed in The Ideal Distribution of Farmers: Explaining the Euro-American Settlement of Utah. The data are too large to include in the published format. The table titled "Years_Occupied" contains seven columns, including the settlement name, the year, the population (linearly interpolated between census years), the Moisture Index value for the settlement, the probability of cultivation value (S), UTM Zone 12 NAD83 easting, and NAD83 northing. Settlements have a row from settlement date, through occupation, to abandonment (if abandoned before 1950). The data in this table allow for users to determine the average MI and S values of occupied habitats through time. The table titled "Settlement_Vals_UTMS" contains six columns, including settlement name, year settled, a Moisture Index value, a probability of cultivation (S) value, UTM Zone 12 NAD83 easting, and a NAD83 northing. Each row is a settlement used in our analyses. The data in this table allow users to see a complete list of settlements used, the year of settlement used, and each settlements location. The table titled "AnnualPop_AvgMISVals" contains four columns, including the year, state population, the average MI value of occupied habitats for that year, and the average S value of occupied habitats for that year. The data in this table allow users to compare population and average suitability values of occupied habitats through time.
