Geospatial data for the Vegetation Mapping Inventory Project of Acadia National Park

Metadata Updated: June 5, 2024

The files linked to this reference are the geospatial data created as part of the completion of the baseline vegetation inventory project for Acadia National Park. Current format is ArcGIS file geodatabase but older formats may exist as shapefiles.

The 53 vegetation communities are represented with 33 map classes. Fifty-eight map classes, including land use/land cover and park specific categories, were used to map Acadia NP and environs. Color infrared aerial photographs, collected in late May 1997 at a scale 1:15,840, were used for photointerpretation. Spring photography was chosen so fieldwork and mapping could begin that same year. Using spring photography limited the ability to map some NVCS vegetation types accurately. Photointerpretation data were manually transferred to orthophoto quadrangle maps (1:12,000-scale) and then digitally automated for use in geographic information systems (GIS).
