    • Geospatial data for the Vegetation Mapping Inventory Project of Apostle Islands National Lakeshore

    Metadata Updated: September 25, 2025

    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.

    A geodatabase containing various feature class layers and tables show the locations of vegetation types and general land cover (vegetation map), vegetation plot samples, AA sites, project boundary extent, and aerial photographic centers. The feature class layer for the APIS vegetation map provides 4,862 polygons of detailed attribute data covering 28,971.9 ha, with an average polygon size of 6.0 ha. Of the area mapped, 4,732 polygons (97.4%) represent natural/semi-natural types in the NVCS, encompassing 17,600.9 ha (60.8%) of the total map extent.
