Imagery data for the Vegetation Mapping Inventory Project of Coronado National Memorial

2008. Imagery data for the Vegetation Mapping Inventory Project of Coronado National Memorial

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. All imagery (aerial photographs) for Coronado NMEM was acquired without cost from The National Map program. The imagery was originally acquired via the USGS High Resolution Orthoimagery project, for use in work related to border safety/border impacts. Images were flown in October 2008, and have a 0.30-meter resolution. The 15 tiles covering the park were obtained at no cost and then processed (mosaicked) by OALS for use in this project. Minimal processing was required, as the tiles were already georeferenced. The final image set was used to create printed field maps that crews used while conducting field assessments and on which they drew draft polygon boundaries.
