Geospatial data for the Vegetation Mapping Inventory Project of Russell Cave 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.
Large scale final map products were created within ArcMap and designed to show both the orthophoto coverage and the vegetation maps. For the vegetation maps, colors were assigned and the polygons labeled with the dominant vegetation and modifier and, where present, the second vegetation and modifier. For the orthophoto maps, the photos were simply plotted at the same scale and area coverage as the vegetation maps. Additional planimetric map data included roads, trails, hydrology, boundaries and a UTM coordinate grid. Legends are designed to provide full definitions of the vegetation and buffer classes and modifiers, as well as information about the park, map projection, data sources and authorship (Figure 19). All maps are projected to the Universal Transverse Mercator Coordinate System, North American Datum of 1984, in the local zone for the specific park.
