Imagery data for the Vegetation Mapping Inventory Project of Hovenweep National Monument
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.
Vegetation and land use were interpreted to the most detailed level possible using high-resolution, 1:12,000-scale color aerial photography that had been digitally scanned and orthorectified. Most of the interpretation was based on site visit information, because virtually every part of the Monument is accessible on foot. Polygons representing vegetation or land use map classes were delineated on the stereo photographs and transferred to a spatial database. Because the individual Monument parcels are so small, the standard minimum mapping unit of 0.5 ha was discarded and polygons were delineated to approximately 0.1 ha (0.3 acres).
