Geospatial data for the Vegetation Mapping Inventory Project of Wilsons Creek 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.
Classification was based on 50 quantitative field plots, which were placed across WICR in a stratified random manner based on qualitative field observation points, consideration of biophysical setting, and viewing of air photos. Mapping was based on a combination of image object generation and heads-up digitization of air photos on-screen. Accuracy assessment points obtained during 2012 verified that the map is 81.3% accurate across all classes.
GIS Database 2011 - 2012:
Wilson’s Creek National Battlefield = 1,975 acres (799 hectares)
Base Imagery used for mapping (acquired by MoRAP):
2007-2009, Greene County, MO, leaf-off, true color, 2 ft 2009, Greene County, MO, leaf-on, Color
Infrared, 1 m 2009, Greene County, MO, leaf-on, true color, 1 m
Additional Imagery acquired and viewed by MoRAP: 1941 Panchromatic Aerial Photo
1936 Panchromatic Aerial Photo
Minimum Mapping Unit = 0.5 hectares (ha) Total Size = 379 Polygons
Average Polygon Size = 5.21 acres (2.1 ha) Overall Thematic Accuracy = 81.3%
Project Completion Date: 11/2012
