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.

Following the vegetation data analysis, the formation-level vegetation map was further edited and refined to develop an association-level vegetation map. Using ArcView 3.2, polygon boundaries were revised onscreen based on the plot data and additional field observations. Each polygon was attributed with the name of a vegetation association based on plot data, field observations, classification analyses, aerial photography signatures, and topographic maps. An aerial photograph interpretation key for the vegetation associations and Anderson level II categories (modified) is located in Appendix A. After the vegetation association map was completed, the thematic accuracy of this map was assessed
