    • Geospatial data for the Vegetation Mapping Inventory Project of Fossil Butte National Monument

    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 the NPS park unit. Current format is ArcGIS file geodatabase but older formats may exist as shapefiles.

    The FOBU vegetation mapping project area was divided into 1,709 polygons. A total of 1,687 map polygons represent 37 natural and semi-natural vegetation map classes. Two land use map classes describe 22 other polygons within the mapping area. Average polygon size across all map classes is 2.0 ha (5.0 acres). Natural and semi-natural vegetation classes cover 6,153 ha (15,205 acres; 98.7% of the project area). Land use polygons, including roads and NPS facilities, total 63.5 ha (156.9 acres; 1.3% of the project area). The most frequent vegetation mapping unit is the Low Sagebrush Shrubland (S-LOWS) with 646 polygons covering 2,161 ha (5,341 acres) or 35% of the project area.
