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

Published by National Park Service | Department of the Interior | Metadata Last Checked: January 25, 2026 | Last Modified: 2009-01-01T00:00:00Z
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. Polygons were assigned map class number and name. The vegetation community polygons and other related and supporting data were then incorporated into a geodatabase format. The data recorded on the field forms were subsequently entered into the PLOTS database and reviewed for data entry errors by Kansas Natural Heritage Inventory staff. The results were imported from the database into a GIS layer where they were visually compared in two stages to the vegetation map coverage.
