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. The mapping component was initiated by photo interpretation and digitization of 3-band 2001 color infrared (CIR) IKONOS imagery for the vegetation and land use classes determined through the field visit and expert knowledge of project team members. The heads-up digitization was performed at a display scale of 1:1000 to 1:1500. The digitization, evaluation, and modifications were iterative and collaborative processes involving the GIS analysts and the rest of the team. Preliminary maps were checked, corrected, and rechecked for boundary delineations. Final edits were made using the 2009 NAIP imagery, which captured the changes made along the eastern end of the property with the construction of the visitor’s center.
