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

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. Since HAFO and MIIN represent small and accessible sites, no new imagery or aerial photography were acquired; existing sources of imagery were evaluated and two NAIP products were selected to be used as base maps. The NAIP products selected were the 2004 and 2006 images. The 2004 products had 1-meter resolution and were acquired at 1:12,000-scale, which is adequate for vegetation mapping purposes. The 2006 product had 2-meter resolution and was acquired in true-color infrared format. The 2006 imagery was more recent than the 2004 and although it had a coarser resolution, it did highlight recent changes to the landscape including fires, new roads, tree removals, etc. After obtaining both imagery sets, the 2006 imagery was color balanced in Imagine Software to remove some of the edge-matching issues and sharpen the image. The 2004 imagery was also color balanced, but edge-matching was unnecessary. The resulting image from the 2006 imagery was mosaicked and clipped to the extent of the project boundary.
