Great Smoky Mountains National Park Miller Vegetation Map

This is a vector polygon file showing the historic range forest types at Great Smoky Mountains National Park. The data was collected from a historic map drawn by Frank Miller, Assistant Forester, in 1938. The map was scanned using a Vidar color scanner and the digital images were brought into ArcMap. The map was originally divided into 4 separate panels, thus there were 4 separate image files. Each image was Georectified, Clipped and then the Mosaic tool was employed to create one large map image. Two feature classes, one a point feature class and the other a polyline feature class, were then created. The polyline class was used to digitize the boundary of each area of vegetation and a point containing the attributes of each area was placed within. After digitizing, the polyline layer was converted to a polygon feature class and the attribute table from the point layer was joined to the corresponding polygon within the feature class.

Imagery data for the Vegetation Mapping Inventory Project of Cape Lookout National Seashore

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 Southeast Coast Network contracted with Aero-Metric Inc., through the USGS Rolla, Missouri office to provide color-infrared aerial photographs. The aerial photographs were taken on 31 May 2009 at a scale of 1:12,000. The calibration focal length for the photos was 152.823 mm. Contact prints of the CIR imagery were created for use in the field, and diapositives of the CIR set were created for photo-interpretation.

Imagery data for the Vegetation Mapping Inventory Project of Tonto 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 ortho imagery used during mapping at Tonto NM was created from a set of nine color contact prints flown on April 28, 2004. The images were taken by D. Major of Cooper Aerial Surveys of Tucson. The final mosaicked image was created by IntraSearch Inc. Colorado, using 1-meter USGS DOQQ data and USGS 10-meter DEM data to produce a final orthorectified image output of 0.6-m resolution. The reported scale for all images is 1:10,000. All information on processing reported here was taken from the metadata associated with the color mosaicked image. Scanned images were orthorectified in PCI Geomatics OrthoEngine 7 (www.pcigeomatics.com) using a cubic convolution method, with approximately nine ground control points per scan. Accuracy was assessed by overlaying the image onto original DOQQ data in ArcView 3.3.

Geospatial data for the Vegetation Mapping Inventory Project of Tonto 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 digital aerial photos for Tonto NM were evaluated in ArcGIS (ESRI) to define and delimit distinct vegetation structural characteristics at what will hereafter be termed the “formation” level. Formations were defined by a combination of structural properties, including height, texture, color, and the relative percent cover of tree, shrub, and herbaceous vegetation. For Tonto NM, polygons (a closed line encompassing an area) were hand-digitized in ArcMap 9.0 (ESRI) around each visibly distinct formation across the entire park area, including a ~100-m buffer at the park boundary. Polygon lines were drawn such that homogeneity of visible characteristics was maximized within each polygon while minimizing the amount and size of structurally different inclusions of less than 0.5 hectares (1.24 ac) in size (Figure 2-2). Other spatial data were used to assist in this process, including digital elevation models (DEM) and contour lines. A minimum mapping unit of 0.5 hectares was observed, as set forth in the NVC standards. Distinct areas smaller than 0.5 hectares had to be included in an adjacent or enveloping polygon. All polygons were drawn such that adjacent polygon boundaries were shared, (i.e., there were no gaps between polygons) and complete coverage of the study area was achieved. The classification work led to the identification of 23 different vegetation types at the association level, attributed to 82 polygons.

Bering Land Bridge Lake Classification; Seward Peninsula, Alaska, 2012-2016

This study focuses on a 67 attribute lake cover classification scheme covering the Bering Land Bridge area of the Seward Peninsula, Alaska. The GIS dataset consists of 5170 lakes (which were extracted from a 5m resolution ifSAR/orthophoto image) and provides information on lake morphometry, hydrologic connectivity, surface area dynamics, surrounding terrestrial ecotypes, bedfast percentage, and other important conditions. The Seward Peninsula lake habitat study classification system provides lake specific information for a coastal peninsula area that will guide research and aid in the management of the natural environment.

Geospatial data for the Vegetation Mapping Inventory Project of North Cascades 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 Olympic National Park. The vegetation map is a geotiff raster, and at 67MB may be difficult to download. An ArcGIS file geodatabase contains plot data and lookup tables that relate map class units to mapping associations. The geodatabase includes a vegetation Feature dataset with the park boundary and project boundary used in the map.

The map development process was organized around the random forests machine learning algorithm. The modeling used 2,980 plots representing 151 vegetation associations and 46 map classes. Imagery from the National Agriculture Imagery Program and the Sentinel-2 and Landsat 8 satellites, airborne lidar bare earth and canopy height data, elevation data from the U.S. Geological Survey 3D Elevation Program, and climate normals from the PRISM Climate Group were used to develop a variety of predictor metrics. The predictors and the map class calls at each plot were input to a process in which each map class was modeled against every other map class in a factorial random forests scheme. We used plot-level modeling outcomes and species composition data to adjust the crosswalk between association and map class so that floristic consistency and model accuracy were jointly optimized across all classes. The map was produced by predicting the factorial models and selecting the overall best-performing class at each 3-meter pixel.

Archive LECL Lewis and Clark Trail Auto Route Feature Service

The Lewis and Clark National Historic Trail Auto Route is a system of over 6,100 miles of roads and highways bracketing each side of the Lewis and Clark National Historic Trail, which commemorates the 1804-1806 expedition of Lewis and Clark and the Corps of Discovery. A total of 11 Trail states are connected by the Auto Route (Illinois, Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa, South Dakota, North Dakota, Montana, Idaho, Washington, and Oregon), and each state designated the roads and highways that make up the Lewis and Clark Auto Route. The Auto Route provides the primary way in which visitors experience the Lewis and Clark National Historic Trail and travel to Trail destinations.As of 2017, this data set represents the official National Park Service centerline of the Lewis and Clark National Historic Trail Auto Route. The spatial data was created by the National Park Service and is derived from layers developed by the Wyoming Geographic Information Science Center as part of the 2009-2010 Lewis and Clark National Historic Trail Auto Route Inventory and Assessment.

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 SECN contracted with Aero-Metric Inc., through the USGS Rolla, Missouri office to provide color infrared aerial photographs. Airborne GPS data were provided by Aero-Metric, Inc, as were ground check point data. The project was
referenced to the North American Datum of 1983/2007 (NAD83/07), Universal Transverse Mercator Zone 17 horizontally and to the North American Vertical Datum of 1988 vertically. The aerial photographs were taken on 31 May 2009 at a scale of 1:12,000. Color infrared imagery was chosen because healthy green vegetation is a very strong reflector of infrared radiation and appears bright red in color infrared imagery, which helps tremendously in vegetation mapping efforts.
