Geospatial data for the Vegetation Mapping Inventory Project of Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area
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.
Following the vegetation data analysis, the vegetation cover-type map was edited and refined to develop a preliminary association-level vegetation map. Using ArcView 3.2, polygon boundaries were revised onscreen based on the plot data, field observations, classification analyses, aerial photography signatures, and topographic maps. Each polygon was assigned the name of a preliminary vegetation association based on the five information sources listed above. A mirror stereoscope type F-71 and a Bausch and Lomb zoom stereoscope were used to interpret the aerial photography signatures. The field-collected “true” or “reference” GPS coordinates for the remaining 41 points were compared to the coordinates obtained from the mosaic viewed in ArcMap.
