Geospatial data for the Vegetation Mapping Inventory Project of Rocky Mountain National Park
공공데이터포털
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.

Current format is ArcGIS file geodatabase but older formats may exist as shapefiles. Large scale final map products were created within ArcMap and designed to show both the orthophoto coverage and the vegetation maps. For the vegetation maps, colors were assigned and the polygons labeled with the dominant vegetation and modifier and, where present, the second vegetation and modifier. For the orthophoto maps, the photos were simply plotted at the same scale and area coverage as the vegetation maps. Additional planimetric map data included roads, trails, hydrology, boundaries and a UTM coordinate grid. Legends are designed to provide full definitions of the vegetation and buffer classes and modifiers, as well as information about the park, map projection, data sources and authorship. All maps are projected to the Universal Transverse Mercator Coordinate System, North American Datum of 1984, in the local zone for the specific park Map information- Veg Classes: 35 Polygons: 7,907 Avg Polygon size(ha) 2.58 Map Scale: 1:26,000
