Imagery data for the Vegetation Mapping Inventory Project of Golden Spike National Historic Site

Published by National Park Service | Department of the Interior | Metadata Last Checked: June 25, 2025 | Last Modified: 2007-01-01
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. For the vegetation mapping at GOSP, 1-m resolution, true color orthophotography flown in 2006 by the State of Utah served as the base imagery to guide mapping by field crews and support digital interpretation. This imagery had relatively low contrast, and did not show differences in herbaceous vegetation that would have been visible on infrared imagery. As a result, the final map was developed using 1-foot-resolution true color imagery also flown by the State of Utah. This imagery was of very high quality; individual bunchgrass clumps and snakeweed shrubs were clearly visible with magnification.
