Geospatial data for the Vegetation Mapping Inventory Project of Voyageurs National Park
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.
The interpreted polygons were manually transferred to overlays that were registered to the base maps. Map unit attributes and appropriate physiognomic modifier codes were added to a second overlay. The overlays were subsequently rechecked for accuracy. Each overlay of transferred data was scanned using a large format sheet fed scanner at a resolution of 400 dots per inch. The resulting Tagged Image File Format (TIFF) images were then converted to a grid using ArcInfo (Version 7.2.1 Patch 2, Environmental Systems Research Institute, Redlands, California). For data produced with the DOQ base maps, the converted grid was projected to UTM Zone 15 using North American Datum of 1983 (NAD83).
