Natural Heritage New Mexico conducted an accuracy assessment of the Carlsbad Caverns National Park (CAVE) Vegetation Map completed in 2003. National Mapping Program standards and procedures were followed. In summer 2006, 328 validation plots were collected. Map units were evaluated for producers’ and users’ errors according to the original hierarchical organization of the map legend. Level 1 and Level 2 map units met accuracy requirements and are sufficient for most natural resource planning and management applications.
