Imagery data for the Vegetation Mapping Inventory Project of Jewel Cave National Monument
1997. Imagery data for the Vegetation Mapping Inventory Project of Jewel Cave 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. The vegetation map was developed by photographic interpretation of 1993, 1:16,000 scale color infrared photography. Two separate classification systems were used to develop the mapping units. Cultural, disturbed, or unsampled vegetation types used the Anderson Level II classification system. All other vegetation within the mapping boundary used map units derived from the NVCS. A total of 7 Anderson Level II classes and 12 NVCS classes were used. The NVCS classes were combined to form 5 vegetation mapping classes.
