LECL Lewis and Clark NHT High Potential Historic Sites

This data set represents the official National Park Service layer of High Potential Historic Sites along the Lewis and Clark National Historic Trail. As of 2024, this feature class represents historic sites with interpretive potential related to Lewis and Clark and the Corps of Discovery which have been identified as having at least one of the following criteria: scenic quality, freedom from intrusion, sense of place, and/or historic remnants. Data in this format can be used on digital online maps or downloaded and used within desktop applications. Please see the access and user constraints below for more information.

The Lewis and Clark National Historic Trail is approximately 4,900 miles long, extending from the Ohio River in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania to the mouth of the Columbia River in Oregon, following both the outbound and inbound routes of the Lewis and Clark Expedition. The trail connects 16 states (Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky, Illinois, Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa, South Dakota, North Dakota, Montana, Idaho, Washington, and Oregon) and was established by Congress in 1978 as part of the national trails system (NTS) as one of four original national historic trails. This trail commemorates the 1803-1806 expedition of Lewis and Clark and the Corps of Discovery, which explored the Louisiana Territory and beyond. This epic journey contributed to significant scientific knowledge and profound political, social, economic, cultural, and environmental changes to the lands and the peoples of the North American continent.

Flight 93 National Memorial Vegetation and Land Cover Geospatial Information

In collaboration with the National Park Service, the Western Pennsylvania Conservancy (WPC) completed the Natural Resource Condition Assessment (NRCA) for Flight 93 National Memorial (FLNI). The purpose of the NRCA is to provide park leaders and resource managers with information on resource conditions to support near-term planning and management, long-term strategic planning, and effective science communication to decision-makers and the public. This record contains the geospatial land cover data as an ArcGIS geodatabase, mxd map document, layer file and metadata. In addition, this record contains a WORD document describing the source of other geospatial data contained in the associated FLNI Natural Resource Condition Assessment Report (NRR 2020/2059).

EAARL Coastal Topography–Fire Island National Seashore, New York, Post-Nor'Ida, 2009

A digital elevation model (DEM) of a portion of the Fire Island National Seashore in New York, post-Nor'Ida (November 2009 nor'easter), was produced from remotely sensed, geographically referenced elevation measurements cooperatively by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and the National Park Service (NPS). Elevation measurements were collected over the area using the Experimental Advanced Airborne Research Lidar (EAARL), a pulsed laser ranging system mounted onboard an aircraft to measure ground elevation, vegetation canopy, and coastal topography. The system uses high-frequency laser beams directed at the Earth's surface through an opening in the bottom of the aircraft's fuselage. The laser system records the time difference between emission of the laser beam and the reception of the reflected laser signal in the aircraft. The plane travels over the target area at approximately 50 meters per second at an elevation of approximately 300 meters, resulting in a laser swath of approximately 240 meters with an average point spacing of 2-3 meters. The EAARL, developed originally by NASA at Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia, measures ground elevation with a vertical resolution of +/-15 centimeters. A sampling rate of 3 kilohertz or higher results in an extremely dense spatial elevation dataset. Over 100 kilometers of coastline can be surveyed easily within a 3- to 4-hour mission. When subsequent elevation maps for an area are analyzed, they provide a useful tool to make management decisions regarding land development.

LECL Lewis and Clark NHT Historic Campsites (Bergantino)

This dataset represents approximate locations where Lewis and Clark and the Corps of Discovery camped during their 1803-1806 outbound and return journeys. This layer was created using information develped by Robert Bergantino, Research Associate Professor at the Montana Bureau of Mines and Geology.

The Lewis and Clark National Historic Trail is approximately 4,900 miles long, extending from the Ohio River in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania to the mouth of the Columbia River in Oregon, following both the outbound and inbound routes of the Lewis and Clark Expedition.

Great Smoky Mountains National Park Equestrian Facilities

The Equestrian Facilities Location database contains information about physical and cultural geographic features of all types with Great Smoky Mountains National Park, current and historical, but not including roads and highways. The database holds the Federally recognized name of each feature and defines the feature location by state, county, USGS topographic map, and geographic coordinates. Other attributes include feature designations, feature classification, historical and descriptive information, and for some categories the geometric boundaries. To display the broad collection of Points of Interest within the park footprint. These data borrow from the GNIS names schema, yet are heavily modified to allow for the display of points of interest within the park of interest to the public. These data are authoritative data published by the National Park Service.

Vegetation Disturbance Database

This dataset is a compilation of forest damage mapped by surveys on forested areas in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. At this time, the National Aerial Survey Data Standards require only mortality and defoliation data be collected and reported. However, park staff collect data on other types of damage and therefore, this has been designed to accommodate these data. Due to the nature of GIS surveying, there may be areas within the delineated polygons that are unaffected. For example, an area with a patchy mosaic of forest insect activity may be recorded as one larger polygon by the observer. During surveys, only fading trees (those with yellow, brown, or red foliage) or those with some defoliation are mapped. Older dead trees which have lost their foliage or have dull colored foliage are not typically mapped for two primary reasons: 1) it is harder to see older dead trees that may have lost their needles and 2) it prevents recording trees that were mapped in a prior year's survey. Overview surveys are a 'snap shot' in time and therefore may not be timed to accurately capture the true extent or severity of a particular disturbance activity. Specially designed surveys with modified flight patterns and timing may be conducted to more accurately delineate the extent and severity of a particular disturbance agent. Special surveys are conducted when resources are available to address situations of sufficient economic, political or environmental importance.

    water quality data retrievals for the park from six of the United
    States Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) national
    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.
