Geospatial data for the Vegetation Mapping Inventory Project of Mount Rushmore National Memorial

Metadata Updated: June 4, 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 vegetation map was developed by photographic interpretation of 1993, 1:16,000 scale color infrared photography. Two separate classification systems were used to develop the mapping units. Cultural, disturbed, or unsampled vegetation types used the Anderson Level II classification system. All other vegetation within the mapping boundary used map units derived from the NVCS. A total of 8 Anderson Level II classes and 9 NVCS classes were used. The NVCS classes were combined to form 4 vegetation mapping classes. As part of the mapping effort, we have included an accuracy assessment for the overall mapping effort as well as for individual class accuracies. These data include reporting for both errors of omission and commission. Overall map accuracy is 74.3% within a 90% confidence interval. All digital files were created with a standard format. All files are delivered with a UTM projection, zone 13, and a north American datum of 1983.
