landcover map for Sitka National Historical Park

Published by National Park Service | Department of the Interior | Metadata Last Checked: January 25, 2026 | Last Modified: 2013-01-01T00:00:00Z
The landcover map presented here was manually digitized on current aerial photography in a GIS environment and field checked by vegetation survey. The landcover classes identified represent both natural and cultural vegetation and successional stages ranging from barren ground to old growth forest. Accompanying descriptions provide information on vegetation and site characteristics of each class and propose a placement within the National Vegetation Classification. The baseline information provided here can be used to assess the status, condition and trend of natural resources within the Park and because the landcover classes identified are common to the greater Alexander Archipelago ecoregion, this classification may inform vegetation work beyond the boundaries of Sitka NHP
