Imagery data for the Vegetation Mapping Inventory Project of Dinosaur National Monument

Published by National Park Service | Department of the Interior | Metadata Last Checked: January 25, 2026 | Last Modified: 2003-09-01T00:00:00Z
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. Most of the reconnaissance was conducted concurrently with the vegetation plot data collection in 2002 and 2003. Photointerpreters visited the monument several times to assign plant communities or complexes to distinct signatures on the orthophotographs. Understanding the environmental drivers influencing vegetation patterns and identifying what information could be extracted from the project imagery were other important products of the reconnaissance. Field notes were written directly on paper plots of the stereo photographs; these helped to guide the photo interpretation and mapping process.
