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. To produce the digital map, we used a combination of 2001 1:12,000-scale true color aerial photography, 2001 1:40,000-scale true color ortho-rectified imagery reproduced at 1:12,000-scale, and 3 years of ground-truthing to interpret the complex patterns of vegetation and landuse at ROMO. In the end, 46 map units were developed and directly cross-walked or matched to corresponding plant associations and land-use classes. All of the interpreted and remotely sensed data were converted to Geographic Information System (GIS) databases using ArcInfo© software. Draft maps created from the vegetation classification were field-tested and revised before independent ecologists conducted an assessment of the map’s accuracy during 2004.

These data were converted from the originally delivered Microsoft Access PLOTs database from the Vegetation Mapping Inventory Project of Canyonlands National Park. These comma-delimited data tables contain(s) vegetation mapping plot classification and accuracy assessment data, as well as summary information about the data itself. If a table is empty, then it was empty in the original database.

This reference contains the imagery data used in the completion of the baseline vegetation inventory project for the NPS park unit. Orthophotos, raw imagery, and scanned aerial photos are common files held here. The project area is covered by 28 flight lines flown south to north for the 1:12,000 scale photography and 10 flight lines for the 1:40,000 scale photography. Some of the flight lines overlap with repeat flights due to elevation and scale considerations. A total of 1,412 color photographs were taken at 1:12,000 (1"=1,000') scale and 366 color photographs for the 1:40,000 (1" = 3,333') all printed on 9"x 9" paper stock. Overlap for all photographs was approximately 50-60% and sidelap between flight lines was approximately 20-30%. All photography was acquired between September 25 and October 3, 2001. Repeat dates were required due to the large area being acquired in addition to the challenging terrain. Airborne GPS was collected with a base station at the Fort Collins, Colorado Airport (Latitude: 40 26 58.07884; Longitude:-105 00 24.66076; Height:1509.710 m; Antenna ht:0.203 m). GPS points provided for a flight line point shape file and aided with the ortho-rectification process
