Geospatial data for the Vegetation Mapping Inventory Project of Capulin Volcano National Monument

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.

The development of map units (map classes) and construction of a map legend is an iterative process that integrates the ecological vegetation classification units (plant associations, groups, etc.) described above with their spatial distribution as determined by the quality of the remote sensing imagery and on-the-ground reconnaissance work. Following NPS guidelines, the desired target is the development of map units that correspond to the plant-association level of the national classification, but this is contingent on being able to discern differences in the available imagery at that level using various remote techniques. Once a final supervised classification was completed, the resulting 45 classes were recoded into one of the 23 map units that best represented them. The image polygons developed from the object-oriented classification were imported as a feature dataset polygon layer in ESRI ArcGIS (v. 9.3), the file quality controlled, and topology built. The image polygons were then overlaid onto the recoded classification and the majority map unit was assigned as that polygon’s map unit.

Glacier Bay, Alaska murrelet survey raw observations (KM_C) for survey year 2014

During GLBA field surveys, observation data are directly recorded into an ArcGIS file geodatabase through a custom application that runs on laptops and later iPads. Data collected include murrelet bird group observations, their relation to line transects, covariates, tracklogs, and GPS points made on survey transects.

These are stored in their original raw form after the field survey and are never edited.  Once quality control processes are completed a separate corrected version is produced as deliverable KM_D.

Geospatial data for the Vegetation Mapping Inventory Project of Canyonlands National 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.

Vegetation and land use were interpreted to as detailed a level possible from high-resolution, 9” x 9” stereo pairs of 1:12,000-scale true color aerial photography. Polygons representing vegetation or land use map classes were delineated directly on-screen through heads-up digitizing using ArcGIS editing tools and transferred to a spatial database. The project used the program standard minimum mapping unit of 0.5 ha with few exceptions.

Fifty-four map classes represented by 31,497 polygons were developed for CANY. A total of 30,329 polygons represent 41 natural or semi-natural vegetation map classes covering 94.8% of the mapping project area. One map class was documented as point locations only. Twelve additional land use/land cover and geologic map classes describe 1,168 polygons (3.7% of polygons and 5.2% of the area). Average polygon size across all map classes is 9.9 ha (24.4 acres). Lands within CANY make up 135,204 ha (334,096 acres) or 79.2% of the total project area. Blackbrush Shrubland had the highest number of polygons (3600) polygons covering 9.4% of the mapping area. The Potholed and Jointed Sandstone Woodland Complex is the most common map class, delineated on 30,495 ha (75,354 acres) or 17.9% of the project area.

Geospatial data for the Vegetation Mapping Inventory Project of Cape Cod National Seashore

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 map showing the locations of vegetation map classes in the park was created, following the USGS/NPS Vegetation Mapping Program protocols (TNC and ESRI 1994a,b,c). A dichotomous field key was developed for these vegetation map classes to assist with field recognition and classification. The vegetation map covers 10,833 ha (26,769 ac) of Cape Cod National Seashore. The most abundant forest vegetation association is Pitch Pine - Oak Forest, which covers 1,756 ha (4,339 ac).

UPDE Corridor Segments

Spatial data contained herein represent scenic and recreational designations of the administrative boundary of the Upper Delaware Scenic & Recreational River (UPDE) as defined in the 1986 Upper Delaware Scenic & Recreational River Management Plan.  The data are intended for general GIS analysis, display, planning, and reference purposes only. 

The spatial data contained herein are a digital representation of the scenic and recreational designations of the Upper Delaware Scenic & Recreational River's administrative boundary. These digital data were derived from the official version of the boundary and designations as represented in hard-copy form in the 1986 Upper Delaware Scenic & Recreational River Management Plan, as approved in the 1987 Record of Decision. The plan boundary, which was established to meet the resource protection requirements set forth in the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act and in the Special Statutory Provisions for the Upper Delaware, was delineated so as to encompass "lands from which runoff drains directly into the river and tributary drainages upstream to the first prominent topographic feature" (River Management Plan, 1986). The authoritative area of the boundary as given in the 1986 River Management Plan is 55,574.5 acres. At present, the National Park Service owns approximately 31 acres within the boundary, and the remaining land is mostly privately owned, with some state and local government holdings.

The boundary and scenic and recreational designations were digitized based on the eight pages of maps from the River Management Plan georeferenced to 7.5 minute quadrangle topo maps from the USGS Historical Topographic Map Collection.

Geospatial data for the Vegetation Mapping Inventory Project of Carl Sandburg Home 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.

In 2002, we returned to Carl Sandburg Home NHS to follow-up on the first three goals and to cooperate with the University of Georgia Center for Remote Sensing and Mapping Science on their project to map all vegetation communities in the park. We supplied the University of Georgia team with all plot data already collected and a dichotomous key to the communities of the park and walked throughout the park to help them identify unique mapping units. Since photointerpreters rely heavily on canopy and understory species composition and disturbance and ecologists rely just as heavily on the shrub and herb layer to classify types, the mapping units and the vegetation classification units do not always match up perfectly. The last step will be to work with the mappers to produce mapping units that match up well with the ecological units of the National Vegetation Classification.

Geospatial data for the Vegetation Mapping Inventory Project of Carlsbad Caverns National 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.

The vegetation map was developed using a strategy that combined and automated digital image classification of satellite imagery with direct analog image interpretation. Two sets of satellite imagery were used for mapping: SpaceImaging’s IKONOS and Landsat Enhanced Thematic Mapper+ (ETM+). IKONOS was the primary imagery used because of its high-resolution 1 m panchromatic (Pan— a black and white panchromatic band) and 4 m Multi-Spectral (MS—three visible and one infrared band) data. Variations in plant reflection and absorption due to biochemical composition will vary within and among bands and generate distinct spectral “signatures” for various elements of interest). In this case, the signature of each picture element (pixel) in the image provides a quantitative measure of reflectance at specific wavelengths that can then be statistically analyzed to generate a vegetation map of spectrally similar vegetation communities. In addition, the high resolution of both the Pan and MS imagery enabled the visual differentiation of trees and shrubs from one another along with various physical features that allow the enhancement of the statistically generated map during the interpretation phase
