Geospatial data for the Vegetation Mapping Inventory Project of Wilsons Creek National Battlefield

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.

Classification was based on 50 quantitative field plots, which were placed across WICR in a stratified random manner based on qualitative field observation points, consideration of biophysical setting, and viewing of air photos. Mapping was based on a combination of image object generation and heads-up digitization of air photos on-screen. Accuracy assessment points obtained during 2012 verified that the map is 81.3% accurate across all classes.

GIS Database 2011 - 2012: Wilson’s Creek National Battlefield = 1,975 acres (799 hectares)
