The California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) Vegetation Classification and Mapping Program (VegCAMP) has created a fine-scale vegetation map of part of the range of the American Ranch and Chimineas Ranch tule elk herds. This section of the elk range is adjacent to the Carrizo Plain National Monument and the Chimineas Ranch Unit of the Carrizo Plain Ecological Reserve, both of which have been previously mapped. This map has been seamed to the vegetation map of the Chimineas Ranch completed by VegCAMP (VegCAMP 2010) and the map of the Carrizo Plain National Monument produced by the California Native Plant Society (Stout et al. 2013), and completes the range of these two elk herds in San Luis Obispo County, California. Like those maps, this mapping follows Survey of California Vegetation, Federal Geographic Data Committee (FGDC), and National Vegetation Classification (NVC) standards (FGDC 2008, Jennings et al. 2009). The map legend is based on the classification in Stout et al. (2013), with slight modifications as discussed in Appendix C of the report, which is available here: https://nrm.dfg.ca.gov/FileHandler.ashx?DocumentID=92951. Reconnaissance-level sampling of vegetation stands in the project area was conducted in the spring of 2013. Polygons were drawn using heads-up digitizing with true color 1-foot aerial imagery from August 1, 2007 as the map base. Supplemental imagery included National Agricultural Imagery Program (NAIP) true color and color infrared (CIR) 1-meter resolution data from 2010''2012, Bing imagery, and current and historical imagery from Google Earth. The minimum mapping unit (MMU) is 1 acre, with the exception of wetland types, which have an MMU of ½ acre. Mapping is to the NVC hierarchy Association, Alliance, or Group level based on the ability of the photointerpreters to distinguish types based on all imagery available and on the field data. Two sub-Group level mapping units were used in instances where the vegetation types could not differentiated on the imagery. The first mapping unit is composed of the Salvia leucophylla, Eriogonum fasciculatum, Artemisia californica, and Artemisia californica-Eriogonum fasciculatum Alliances; the second is composed of the Atriplex polycarpa and Atriplex canescens Alliances. Accuracy assessment (AA) data was collected in spring of 2014. Map accuracy was calculated to be 89 percent; corrections were made to the map based on the AA data to increase the final accuracy.

The Anza Borrego Desert State Park (ABDSP) Vegetation Map depicts vegetation within the Park and its surrounding environment. The map was prepared by the Department of Fish and Game (DFG) under contract to the Department of Parks and Recreation (DPR) to assist DPR with preparation of a General Plan for ABDSP. The vegetation map was prepared using aerial photographs, field investigation, vegetation classification, and GIS processing and provides information on the location and extent of 94 vegetation types in the project area. The primary vegetation classification used for the project is based on A Manual of California Vegetation (Sawyer and Keeler-Wolf 1995). The data and classification work arising from this project will be used to refine future editions of the Manual. The vegetation map references other vegetation classifications as well.

Nullamanna National Park vegetation mapping was undertaken by Dr John T. Hunter in 2008 by contract for the NPWS Northern Tableland Region. Nullamanna NP is a small reserve of under 300 ha that occurs within the North Western Botanical District and the Nandewar Bioregion. The reserve lies closest to Kings Plains National Park. The vegetation of Nullamanna National Park is described and mapped (scale 1:25 000). Five communities are defined based on classification (Kulczynski association). These five communities were mapped based on ground truthing, air photo interpretation and landform. Much of the reserve is characterised by Callitris endlicheri, Eucalyptus dealbata, Eucalyptus crebra, Eucalyptus caleyi and Eucalyptus moluccana with a shrub layer of Leucopogon muticus, Notelaea microcarpa, Melichrus urceolatus and Leptospermum brevipes with a ground layer of Cymbopogon refractus, Cheilanthes sieberi, Austrodanthonia caespitosa, Aristida ramosa and Panicum effusum.
