      <abstract>This feature class contains complete polygonal coverage (map units) for two management units of Casa Grande Ruins NM. Each polygon has been attributed with either Alliance or Association level vegetation community names. Polygons were drafted using heads-up digitzing methods in ESRI ArcMap software using Quickbird satellite data as a guide and were subsequently field verified for accuracy. Field verification and species level attribution occured during March 2008. Edits to polygon boundaries and attribution were done using ESRI ArcMap software at the Sonoran Desert Network office. Polygons were verified and validated using standard ArcGIS topolgy rules.</abstract>
      <purpose>This file represents the final map units classified to the National Vegetation Classification System hierarchy of 2009. This product was developed to assist NPS staff in effectively managing the natural resources at Casa Grande Ruins NM.</purpose>
