Imagery data for the Vegetation Mapping Inventory Project of Montezuma Castle National Monument

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. Imagery for both park units was obtained free of charge from a Tucson-based company, Western Mapping Inc., which had recently been hired by the park to conduct detailed planimetric mapping of both units. These high-resolution, three-band aerial photographs had a pixel size of 0.5 m (50 cm), providing detailed images. No post-processing of the images was needed. Imagery was used in various ways throughout the mapping project, including as a guide when conducting on-the-ground mapping.
