This report documents the classification and mapping of vegetation at Appomattox Court House National Historical Park. Twenty map classes representing seventeen USNVC associations, two nonstandard, park-specific vegetation classes, and two Anderson Level II land-use categories were used to map the 705 ha (1,743 ac) park. Vegetation map classes were determined through extensive field reconnaissance, data collection, and analysis. Leaf-off aerial photography from 2000 served as the base map and field sampling was conducted from 2002–2004. Spatial data was digitized onscreen over digital orthophoto mosaics created from scanned color infrared, stereo pair 1:6,000 scale aerial photography using a 0.5 hectare minimum mapping unit.
