These data were converted from the originally delivered Microsoft Access PLOTs database from the Vegetation Mapping Inventory Project of Shiloh National Military 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.

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 polygons on the plastic overlays were then corrected using photogrammetric procedures and converted to vector format for use in creating a geographic information system (GIS) database for each park. In addition, high resolution color orthophotographs were created from the original aerial photographs for use in the GIS. Upon completion of the GIS database (including vegetation, orthophotos and updated roads and hydrology layers), both hardcopy and softcopy maps were produced for delivery. Metadata for each database includes a description of the vegetation classification system used for each park, summary statistics and documentation of the sources, procedures and spatial accuracies of the data. At the time of this writing, an accuracy assessment of the vegetation mapping has not been performed for most of these parks. Thus, those procedures and results are not included in this report.

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. Imagery Date: 10/25/2001, Scale: 1:12,000, Area 3,960 ac Overstory vegetation was interpreted from the 1:12,000 to 1:16,000 scale leaf-on color infrared aerial photographs in 9 x 9 inch film transparency format. A compilation of all field information was used by CRMS photointerpreters to connect the NVCS association-level classes identified in the field with photo signatures for vegetation patches identified on the color infrared aerial photographs. The locations of CRMS field points were transferred from the GPS units to ArcMap and superimposed on orthorectified images of each park.
