LECL Lewis and Clark Expedition Historic Side Excursions

This dataset represents a subset of the side excursions recorded in the journals of Lewis and Clark and the Corps of Discovery during the 1804-1805 outbound journey of the Lewis and Clark Expedition along the Missouri River. These locations were determined by James D. Harlan of the University of Missouri-Columbia.

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.

Exotic Plant Infestation Locations within Glacier National Park, Montana (Dec 2023)

This data set shows locations of non-native ("exotic") plant infestations as points within Glacier National Park as of December 1, 2023. There are two feature datasets that contain field data from 2004" infestation site location and species present (at each infestation site).

These sites were field mapped using GPS and entered into the park's MS-Access exotic vegetation database, which describes infestations, treatments, and control efforts by site and is used as a population tracking/monitoring tool. Some populations in the Access database were discovered in the 1980s and continue to be tracked today. The data is displayed as point data, though populations may be discrete points, polygon areas, or linear (e.g. adjacent to roads). The data is also biased towards transportation corridors (roads, trails, floatable rivers) where exotic vegetation can be recorded in non-systematic (i.e. opportunistic) surveys. 

The GIS rendering of these data was created by: 1. export query from Access; 2. ArcGIS Pro display XY data; 3. convert XY table data to feature class; and 4. import feature class data to the geodatabase.

Imagery data for the Vegetation Mapping Inventory Project of Chiricahua National Monument

This reference contains the imagery data used in the completion of the baseline vegetation inventory project for the NPS park unit. Orthophotos, raw imagery, and scanned aerial photos are common files held here.

The Chiricahua National Monument vegetation mapping inventory imagery was captured by DigitalGlobe Inc.'s Quickbird satellite in April 2005 and orthorectified with ERDAS (Leica) OrthoBase software. It was used to create the initial draft polygons used during field data collection as well as to edit and refine polygons during later phases of the mapping process.

LECL Lewis and Clark NHT Water Trails

This dataset represents the water trails along the Lewis and Clark National Historic Trail. Lewis and Clark’s legendary expedition would not have been possible had they not been able to navigate some of North America’s most spectacular rivers. On their journey to the Pacific and back, they relied on waterways such as the Ohio, Missouri, the Yellowstone, the Snake, and the Columbia Rivers, the highways of the era. Today, the many water trails along the Lewis and Clark National Historic Trail are an exciting and iconic way for you to vicariously explore the region much as Lewis and Clark themselves would have. 

Water trail accessibility depends on the individual trail. Review the information available on each water trail website and contact the water trail manager with questions before embarking. 

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.

Water Monitoring Data - Geospatial Data - Cumulative Watersheds

GIS shapefiles of cumulative watersheds models based on NETN's long-term water quality monitoring stations. Holdings include step-by-step instructions on how they were produced. 

Cumulative watersheds are one of several physical characteristics compiled and entered into the NETN water database (NETN_H2O) and represent the geographic extent from which surface water may have traveled to reach the monitoring site. Periodicity, flood attenuation, chemical buffering capacity, nutrient load, contaminants, invasive species, and water volume are just a few of the metrics that can be better understood when viewed from a cumulative watershed context. 

 In addition to the watershed files, a Standard Operating Proceedure (SOP) documenting the geoprocessing steps required to calculate the area or region from which all surface water drains to NETN’s water quality monitoring sites (i.e. cumulative watershed) is also included. The process steps documented in this SOP were adapted from a University of Virginia Scholar’s Lab lecture assignment of unknown authorship titled “GIS Watershed Delineation Exercise”, circa 2012.
