Imagery data for the Vegetation Mapping Inventory Project of Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park

Description

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. The Southeast Coast Network contracted with Aero-Metric, Inc., through the USGS Rolla, Missouri office to provide color-infrared (CIR) aerial photographs. Airborne GPS data and CIR images were provided by Richard Crouse & Associates, Inc. These images were scanned by HAS Images, Inc. Ground check point data was provided by Aero-Metric, Inc. The project was referenced horizontally to the North American Datum of 1983 (NAD83), Universal Transverse Mercator Zone 16, and vertically to the North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD88). Features were interpreted using 1:12,000 scale digital color-infrared aerial photography (flown 31 May 2009) through heads-up-digitizing in ArcGIS (Version 10.0, © 2010 Environmental Systems Research Institute, Redlands, California). Polygons were mapped to a 0.5-hectare minimum mapping unit (MMU).
