    • Geospatial data for the Vegetation Mapping Inventory Project of Fort Union National Monument

    Metadata Updated: October 23, 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.

    The vegetation map was developed through on-screen digitizing of available black and white digital ortho-photographs from 1984 and 1999. The photos were compiled into a GIS with a standard set of ancillary layers provided by the park service (boundaries, roads, facilities, etc.). Using the vegetation classification as the foundation for the map legend, map units were defined with respect to interpretable patterns in the photography, and with an eye to those patterns that would be most important in natural and cultural resources management within the park. The map included 19 map classes and covered a total of 278.13 ha.
