Geospatial data for the Vegetation Mapping Inventory Project of Lake Mead National Recreation Area
Description
The files linked to this reference are the geospatial data created as part of the completion of the baseline vegetation inventory project for the NPS park unit. Current format is ArcGIS file geodatabase but older formats may exist as shapefiles.
All of the interpreted and remotely sensed data were converted to Geographic Information System (GIS) databases using ArcMap© software and are included in a comprehensive geodatabase. Draft maps created from the vegetation classification were field-tested and revised before independent ecologists conducted an assessment of the map’s accuracy during 2014.
