President William Jefferson Clinton Birthplace Home National Historic Site Tract and Boundary Data

These ESRI shape files are of National Park Service tract and boundary data that was created by the Land Resources Division. Tracts are numbered and created by the regional cartographic staff at the Land Resources Program Centers and are associated to the Land Status Maps. This data should be used to display properties that NPS owns and properties that NPS may have some type of interest such as scenic easements or right of ways.

NCCN Prairie Vegetation Monitoring at San Juan Island National Historical Park Geospatial Dataset, 2007-2017

This geospatial dataset contains North Coast and Cascades Network (NCCN) prairie vegetation monitoring spatial data collected during 2007-2017 at in San Juan Island National Historical Park (SAJH).

The protocol, publications, and all other associated links can be found in the project reference NCCN Monitoring Prairie Vegetation: https://irma.nps.gov/DataStore/Reference/Profile/2193720

Geodatabase feature classes include the original Generalized Random Tessellation Stratified (GRTS) transects, modified active transects selected from the GRTS feature class, and annual segments with associated vegetation data 2007-2009, 2012-2015, and 2017.

The goal of the NCCN prairie monitoring program is to detect and describe changes in the extent and quality of prairie communities in San Juan Island National Historical Park (SAJH). SAJH protects some of the last remaining prairies in Washington state. Over 60% of the American Camp unit is dominated by grasslands that have persisted since the end of the Pleistocene. In 2007, the National Park Service initiated monitoring to document status and trends in cover and ecological condition of vegetation communities using repeatable, rapid assessment of physiognomic class and vegetation quality along line-intercept belt transects. 

Transect-based sampling was designed to address a hierarchy of monitoring questions linked to management objectives, including the maintenance of broad landscape structure (e.g., forest versus herbaceous) associated with the cultural landscape and the continued ecological integrity of plant communities. While physiognomic cover is similar today to the historic time period (36% forest:61% non-forest), the ecological condition of grasslands or prairies is threatened by persistent, introduced grasses and exotic shrubs. Monitoring objectives included: 1) detect change in the extent of physiognomic cover types, 2) detect change in the proportion of areas dominated by exotic plant species, 3) detect change in the quality of herbaceous cover types, and 4) detect changes in composition and diversity of herbaceous cover types.  Monitoring was implemented at the American Camp unit of SAJH, since 90% of all prairies are located within this section of the park.

Hydrographic and Impairment Statistics Database: NPS-WSR Niobrara Wild and Scenic River

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).

Imagery data for the Vegetation Mapping Inventory Project of Appalachian National Scenic Trail

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.

Imagery can also be downloaded at: https://earthexplorer.usgs.gov

The rectified, full-resolution orthoimages used to map vegetation for the Appalachian National Scenic Trail are now available through the USGS Earth Explorer imagery portal. They are housed under the "Data Set" tab, "Aerial Imagery" data, "High Resolution Orthoimagery" checkbox. If you have a specific site in mind you can search a geographic area, otherwise you may search for them in the "Dataset Name" field under the "Additional Criteria" tab using "appalachian_trail_appa"

Digital 4-band—true-color and color-infrared—aerial imagery was acquired in the months of October during 3 years (2009–11) for the APPA vegetation mapping project using a plane-mounted digital camera. This set of imagery became the primary source for image interpretation and mapping. The aerial imagery was collected at a pixel resolution of 30.48 centimeters (centimeter measurement calculated from a standard 12-inch measurement). The goal of fall-dated imagery, particularly with the color infrared bands, was to capture peak leaf-phenology change of hardwood trees; thus, aiding mappers in viewing distinctions among various hardwood-forest types.

With the AT corridor being nearly 3,525 kilometers in length, the aerial imagery mission was flown in segments over 3 years to capture peak-leaf phenology, after leaf color change but prior to leaf fall. Priority was given to peak-leaf phenology in the higher elevations to ensure that all forest species were in leaf-on status for viewing on computers to successfully complete fieldwork and mapping.

Imagery data for the Vegetation Mapping Inventory Project of Horseshoe Bend National Military Park

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 University of Georgia Center for Geospatial Research agreed to analyze existing leaf-on color infrared (CIR) aerial photography to develop photointerpretation keys. Color infrared (CIR) aerial photographs of the park at 1:12,000 scale were acquired by Aero-Metric, Inc. on May 1, 2011. These photos were scanned and converted to digital orthophotographs at 0.3-meter (1 ft) resolution before being delivered to the NPS. Digital orthophotographs and hardcopy photographs in both film transparency and paper print formats were provided to UGA-CGR. A total of 12 photos in two flight lines were required to cover Horseshoe Bend NMP.
