Imagery data for the Vegetation Mapping Inventory Project of Tallgrass Prairie National Preserve

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 mapping component was initiated by photo interpretation and digitization of 4-band 2005 IKONOS imagery for the vegetation and land use classes determined through the field visit and expert knowledge of project team members. The heads-up digitization was performed at a display scale of 1:1500 to 1:2000. The digitization, evaluation, and modifications comprised an iterative and collaborative process involving the GIS analysts and the rest of the team. Preliminary maps were checked, corrected, and rechecked for boundary delineations. These image sources included 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006 (3-band, Red, Green, Blue), and 2008 (4-band, Red, Green, Blue, Near Infrared) USDA FSA NAIP, 2002 and 1991 USGS DOQQs, and 1938 panchromatic imagery. Two additional 4-band (Red, Green, Blue, Near Infrared) IKONOS scenes were acquired in June and September of 2008 specifically for this project. These IKONOS image acquisitions targeted specific phenological windows that were generally not covered by other imagery.

Wilderness Boundary - Rocky Mountain National Park

This dataset depicts those areas of Rocky Mountain National Park that were designated as wilderness pursuant to Public Law 111-11, Title I, Subtitle N., dated March 30, 2009. This dataset also depicts the portion of Indian Peaks Wilderness that was transferred to Rocky Mountain National Park pursuant to Public Law 96-560, Title I, Sec. 111, dated December 22, 1980. This dataset was used to create the maps entitled: * 'Rocky Mountain National Park Wilderness', numbered 121-101,335A and dated Jan. 2010; * 'Rocky Mountain National Park East Shore Trail Alignment', numbered 121-101,337A and dated Jan. 2010. This dataset was used to create the maps within the document entitled: * 'Rocky Mountain National Park Wilderness Boundary Descriptions', numbered 121-101,336A, and dated Jan. 2010. Pursuant to Public Law No: 111-11, two maps and a detailed boundary description document were prepared for the Secretary of the Interior, for his inspection and approval, and for submission to the Committee of Energy and Natural Resources of the Senate and the Committee on Natural Resources of the House of Representatives. The finalized map and wilderness boundary descriptions were prepared 'as soon as practicable' after P.L. 111-11 was published. The detailed descriptions of the wilderness boundary underwent a thorough in-Park review to check for language consistency and clarity before being submitted to the Secretary. This finalized GIS dataset and the detailed descriptions of the wilderness boundary were made available as public domain data after being submitted to the Secretary and the aforementioned Congressional Committees in April 2010. This dataset depicts that approximately 95% of Rocky Mountain National Park has been designated as wilderness. The legislation stated that "approximately 249,339 acres of land in the Park, as generally depicted on the map" were designated as wilderness. After the final configuration of the East Shore Trail Alignment was established, this finalized dataset depicts 249,125 acres designated as wilderness in 2009. Rocky Mountain National Park Wilderness: 249,125 acres Existing Indian Peaks Wilderness within RMNP: 2,960 acres --------------------------- TOTAL Wilderness within RMNP: 252,085 acres Percent of RMNP that is Wilderness: 94.8% The official and legal TOTAL acreage figure for Rocky Mountain National Park is 265,828.41 acres. This has been determined by summing up all the legal descriptions of all the parcels that make up Rocky Mountain National Park. This figure varies slightly (less than one half of one percent) from the figure calculated for this data by the GIS software. Use the official acreage of 265,828.41 acres in any documents referencing the size of Rocky Mountain National Park.

Imagery data for the Vegetation Mapping Inventory Project of Minidoka National Historic Site

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.

Since HAFO and MIIN represent small and accessible sites, no new imagery or aerial photography were acquired; existing sources of imagery were evaluated and two NAIP products were selected to be used as base maps. The NAIP products selected were the 2004 and 2006 images. The 2004 products had 1-meter resolution and were acquired at 1:12,000-scale, which is adequate for vegetation mapping purposes. The 2006 product had 2-meter resolution and was acquired in true-color infrared format. The 2006 imagery was more recent than the 2004 and although it had a coarser resolution, it did highlight recent changes to the landscape including fires, new roads, tree removals, etc.
After obtaining both imagery sets, the 2006 imagery was color balanced in Imagine Software to remove some of the edge-matching issues and sharpen the image. The 2004 imagery was also color balanced, but edge-matching was unnecessary. The resulting image from the 2006 imagery was mosaicked and clipped to the extent of the project boundary.
