NCCN LEWI Elk Ground Monitoring Sample Design Geodatabase

Geodatabase representing the sample design for the North Coast and Cascades Network (NCCN) elk monitoring project at Lewis and Clark National Historical Park (LEWI). 

The goal for the elk monitoring project is to detect changes in the magnitude and spatial patterns of elk use of landscapes at several spatial and temporal scales within, and adjacent to, the Fort Clastop unit of Lewis and Clark National Historical Park (LEWI). The geodatabase is the spatial representation of elk pellet survey plot locations and standard road driving routes, with tenth mile reference markers, used to conduct elk surveys.

Changes in elk relative use and the proportion of area occupied (PAO) by elk will be based on pellet group surveys conducted in the Fort Clatsop unit of LEWI. We will monitor trends in the relative use by elk in winter through the estimation of pellet group density as measured during late winter surveys each year. We will infer trends in elk viewing opportunities in selected areas adjacent to the Fort Clatsop unit by monitoring the rate at which elk are sighted in roadside surveys on specified routes. The road survey sighting rate is a direct index to the rate that park visitors driving the selected set of roads would be expected to see elk. By recording the seasonal patterns of elk herd sightings we will document trends in elk viewing opportunities for visitors during different seasons.

Geospatial data for the Vegetation Mapping Inventory Project of Fort Bowie National Historic Site

The files linked to this reference are the geospatial data created as part of the completion of the baseline vegetation inventory project for the NPS park unit. Current format is ArcGIS file geodatabase but older formats may exist as shapefiles.

Polygon boundary edits were transferred from the paper maps used in the field to the digital shapefiles each week using ArcMap GIS software. Field edits were also transferred to a set of master paper maps that did not go into the field; these will be archived along with the datasheets. The polygons were contained in a field geodatabase structure (.mdb), enabling topography rules and relationships to be established. The geodatabase was archived each week to ensure no loss of data and to allow for reversion or retrieval if needed. Strict nomenclature was enforced for polygons, and a unique name was assigned to each polygon. The names reflected the verified physiognomic formation type by a prefix of representative letters (W = Woodland, SS = shrub savanna, etc.) followed by a number. In the final map, there are 16 vegetation alliances or associations attributed to 74 polygons (Figure 2-3). For each, there is a oneto- one correlation between the alliance or association and map units (polygons). Table 2-3 shows each vegetation community type, the number of polygons attributed with that type, and the total area.

Hydrographic and Impairment Statistics Database: MLKM

Hydrographic and Impairment Statistics (HIS) is a National Park Service (NPS) Water Resources Division (WRD) project established to track certain goals created in response to the Government Performance and Results Act of 1993 (GPRA). One water resources management goal established by the Department of the Interior under GRPA requires NPS to track the percent of its managed surface waters that are meeting Clean Water Act (CWA) water quality standards. This goal requires an accurate inventory that spatially quantifies the surface water hydrography that each bureau manages and a procedure to determine and track which waterbodies are or are not meeting water quality standards as outlined by Section 303(d) of the CWA. This project helps meet this DOI GRPA goal by inventorying and monitoring in a geographic information system for the NPS: (1) CWA 303(d) quality impaired waters and causes; and (2) hydrographic statistics based on the United States Geological Survey (USGS) National Hydrography Dataset (NHD). Hydrographic and 303(d) impairment statistics were evaluated based on a combination of 1:24,000 (NHD) and finer scale data (frequently provided by state GIS layers).

Geospatial data for the Vegetation Mapping Inventory Project of Hopewell Culture National Historic Park

The files linked to this reference are the geospatial data created as part of the completion of the baseline vegetation inventory project for the NPS park unit. Current format is ArcGIS file geodatabase but older formats may exist as shapefiles.

A total of 1,287.9 acres (521.3 hectares) are within the sampled boundaries of HOCU. The standard minimum mapping unit for NPS vegetation inventory projects is defined as 0.5 hectare, although several mapped polygons were smaller for HOCU. Ruderal grasslands within the Orchardgrass-Timothy-Fescue species-Goldenrod species Herbaceous Vegetation type dominated the landscape of HOCU, comprising 587.8 acres (237.9 hectares), or 70.3% of the non-developed area. Ruderal woodland made up 135.8 acres (55.1 hectares), or an additional 16.2% of the undeveloped area. Restored tallgrass prairie and eastern North American Wet Meadow each made up less than 1% of the area, and the remaining types made up about 4% each. The Appalachian Sugar Maple-Chinkapin Oak Limestone Forest appeared most natural of all types mapped, and occupied 34.1 acres (13.8 hectares) in two patches separated by a narrow, open right of way. Developed land accounted for 441.5 acres (178.7 hectares), or 34.2% of the park. A total of 142 polygons were mapped, with an average area of 9.1 acres (3.68 hectares).

    databases: (1) Storage and Retrieval (STORET) water quality database
    management system; (2) River Reach File (RF3) Hydrography; (3)
    Industrial Facilities Discharges; (4) Drinking Water Supplies; (5)
    Water Gages; and (6) Water Impoundments.  The small-scale GIS data
    layers were used to prepare the maps included in the report that
    depict the locations of water quality monitoring stations,
    industrial discharges, drinking intakes, water gages, and water
    impoundments.  The data layers included in the maps (and this
    dataset) vary depending on availability, but generally include
    roads, hydrography, political boundaries, USGS 7.5' minute
    quadrangle outlines, hydrologic units, trails, and others as
    appropriate. The scales of each layer vary depending on data source
    but are generally 1:100,000.

Geologic Units - Rocky Mountain National Park

The Geologic Units and Contacts of Rocky Mountain National Park and Vicinity, Colorado data (ROMOGLG) consists of area (polygon) geologic units and the contacts/map boundary that defines those areas (polygons). The data was completed as a component of the Geologic Resources Evaluation (GRE), a co-operative program between the Natural Resources Information Division (NRID) Inventory and Monitoring Program (IM) and the Geologic Resources Division (GRD) of the National Park Service (NPS). The spatial data (coverage/theme) and some attribution was produced from an AUTOCAD v. 14 drawing file (.DWG file; ROMO-UTM.DWG, NAD27, UTM Zone 13N). The data was converted to an ArcInfo coverage. The coverage/theme (ROMOGLG) was attributed as per the NPS GIS-Geology Data Model. An indexed ArcInfo .E00 (export) coverage file and an ArcView 3.X .SHP theme were then also created. The coverage/theme extent includes all of Rocky Mountain National Park, defined by the November, 1 2000 boundary, as well as adjacent land. The coverage/theme is in NAD83, UTM Zone 13N 'projection'.

Amphibian Inventory for Ebey's Landing National Historical Reserve tabular data

Amphibian survey for Ebey's Landing National Historical Reserve, 2002-2003

Our primary goal was to meet the National Park Service Inventory and Monitoring program goal to better assess the status of amphibian species listed as “expected” in the parks and to verify the occurrence of 90% of these species. Our primary goal for EBLA was to search for the presence of expected amphibian species: Ensatina; western red-backed salamander; northern red-legged frog; Oregon spotted frog; American bullfrog; Pacific treefrog; western toad; northwestern salamander; long-toed salamander; and rough-skinned newt. Inventories of reptiles were not targeted during this project; however they were documented when encountered.

Nineteen aquatic and 15 terrestrial surveys were conducted in 2002 and 2003. A total area of 75,286 m2 was searched in 4,013 minutes, over 14 days. During the surveys, for each species encountered, information on species life stage and habitat, was documented.

Species names have been verified and updated as needed based on Crother (2008). Species absence is extremely difficult to determine and it is possible that some species recorded historically or occasionally but not detected during our survey efforts may still be present in the park. Additional surveys of targeted habitats and species should be conducted.

This project at Fort Vancouver National Historic Site (FOVA) and the greater Vancouver National Historic Reserve was part of a larger effort to document species presence at five North Coast and Cascades Network parks: Mount Rainier National Park, Ebey’s Landing National Historical Reserve (EBLA), Lewis and Clark National Historical Site (LEWI, formerly FOCL), FOVA, and San Juan Island National Historical Park (SAJH). Four parks (EBLA, FOCL, FOVA, and SAJH) had incomplete amphibian lists based on limited or undocumented data.
