Hydrographic and Impairment Statistics Database: INPE

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).

Memorials, Monuments, Fountains, and Water Features in the District of Columbia

Memorials, monuments, fountains, and water features in National Parks in the District of Columbia. This was originally developed to meet specific needs for "Making the District of Columbia Safe and Beautiful" Executive Order 14252 (EO 14252).  

Related to the fountains and water features data, fountains and water features not under the purview of the NPS have since been filtered out. Points have been added beyond specific requests related to EO 14252 in order to make the dataset more comprehensive. While efforts have been made to make this a comprehensive listing, the GIS specialist that developed this dataset may have missed features.

Geospatial data for the Vegetation Mapping Inventory Project of Fort Davis 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.

The vegetation map for Fort Davis NHS was developed using a combined strategy of automated digital image classification and direct analog image interpretation of aerial photography and satellite imagery. Initially, the aerial photography and satellite imagery were processed and entered into a geographic information system (GIS) along with ancillary spatial layers. A working map legend of ecologically based vegetation map units was developed using the vegetation classification described in Chapter 2 as the foundation. The intent was to develop map units that targeted the plant-association level wherever possible within the constraints of image quality, information content, and resolution. With the provisional legend and ground-control points provided by the field-plot data (the same data used to develop the vegetation classification), a combination of hands-on manual digitizing on a screen (heads-up screen digitizing) of polygons based on image interpretation and supervised image classifications was conducted. The outcome was a vegetation map composed of a suite of map units defined by plant associations and represented by sets of mapped polygons with similar spectral and site characteristics

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 total of 39 classes of land cover were mapped on Fire Island and the William Floyd Estate (Table 6.). These are comprised of 24 types mapped to NVCS association, 1 complex of 2 NVCS alliances, and 14 non-NVCS classes (Figure 5a-d.). Four associations were identified on Fire Island and the William Floyd Estate but do not appear on the map due to their rarity, small relative size, and/or difficulties in identifying them with aerial photography. These types were Oligohaline Marsh, Brackish Marsh, Salt Panne, and North Atlantic Upper Ocean Beach.

Geospatial data for the Vegetation Mapping Inventory Project of Florissant Fossil Beds 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.

For four of the map units – 3-SDF, 4-SDAF, 27-POHV, and 31-LBY – modeling using GIS principles was also employed. Modeling involves using environmental conditions of a map unit, such as elevation, slope, and aspect, which were determined by the field-collected ecological data. Data satisfying these conditions were obtained from ancillary data sources, such as USGS DEM data. These data were fed into a model that will result in locations (pixels) where all the desired conditions exist. For example, if a certain map unit was a shrubland that predominantly occurs above 8000 feet, on slopes of 3-10%, and on west-facing aspects, the correctly-constructed model will output only locations where this combination of conditions will be found. The resulting areas were then examined manually with the traditional photo interpretation process to confirm that they indeed could be accepted as that map unit. If photo interpretation determines that the areas were not acceptable, then they were changed to a more appropriate map unit.

Geospatial data for the Vegetation Mapping Inventory Project of Fort Necessity National Battlefield

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.

Following the vegetation data analysis, the formation-level vegetation map was further edited and refined to develop an association-level vegetation map. Using ArcView 3.2, polygon boundaries were revised onscreen based on the plot data and additional field observations. Each polygon was assigned one of eight vegetation association types based on plot data, field observations, aerial photography signatures, and topographic maps. An aerial photograph interpretation key for the vegetation associations was created. However, several associations could not be distinguished reliably by aerial photography signatures alone. Plot data, field observations, and topographic maps were relied upon in these circumstances to inform the polygon delineation and association name assignments. After the vegetation association map was completed, the thematic accuracy of this map was assessed.

Geospatial data for the Vegetation Mapping Inventory Project of Fort Union 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 vegetation map was developed through on-screen digitizing of available black and white digital ortho-photographs from 1984 and 1999. The photos were compiled into a GIS with a standard set of ancillary layers provided by the park service (boundaries, roads, facilities, etc.). Using the vegetation classification as the foundation for the map legend, map units were defined with respect to interpretable patterns in the photography, and with an eye to those patterns that would be most important in natural and cultural resources management within the park. The map included 19 map classes and covered a total of 278.13 ha.

Geospatial data for the Vegetation Mapping Inventory Project of Fort Larned 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.

GIS Database 2002-2005:
Project Size = 1,898 acres
Fort Larned National Historic Site (including the Rut Site) = 705 acres
16 Map Classes
11 Vegetated
5 Non-vegetated
Minimum Mapping Unit = ½ hectare is the program standard but this was modified at
FOLS to ¼ acre.
Total Size = 229 Polygons
Average Polygon Size = 8.3 acres
Overall Thematic Accuracy = 92%

To produce the digital map, a combination of 1:8,500-scale (0.75 meter pixels) color infrared digital ortho-imagery acquired on October 26, 2005 by the Kansas Applied Remote Sensing Program and 1:12,000-scale true color ortho-rectified imagery acquired in 2005 by the U.S. Department of Agriculture - Farm Service Agency’s Aerial Photography Field Office, and all of the GPS referenced ground data were used to interpret the complex patterns of vegetation and land-use. In the end, 16 map units (11 vegetated and 5 land-use) were developed and directly cross-walked or matched to corresponding plant associations and land-use classes. All of the interpreted and remotely sensed data were converted to Geographic Information System (GIS) databases using ArcGIS© software. Draft maps were printed, field tested, reviewed and revised. One hundred and six accuracy assessment (AA) data points were collected in 2006 by KNSHI and used to determine the map’s accuracy. After final revisions, the accuracy assessment revealed an overall thematic accuracy of 92%.
