This project is authorized as part of the USGS/NPS Vegetation Classification and Mapping Program. The program is being administered by the National Park Service's (NPS) Inventory and Monitoring Program in conjunction with the Biological Resources Division (BRD) of the United States Geological Survey (USGS). This mapping effort was performed by Cogan Technology Inc. (CTI) under contract to Northwest Management, Inc (NMI) and the Upper Columbia Basin Inventory and Monitoring Network (UCBN) of the National Park Service. The NPS Inventory and Management goals are, among others, to consistently map and document the vegetation of all National Park Service units with a resource component, thereby creating a baseline vegetation inventory. The purposes of this specific mapping effort are varied and include the following: 1) provide support for NPS Resource Management, 2) promote vegetation-related research, 3) provide support for NPS Planning and Compliance, 4) add to the information base for NPS Interpretation, 5) provide a vegetation baseline inventory for the Park, 6) provide information needed for NPS Fire Program, and 7) assist in overall NPS Operations.

Please read the accompanying report or check with the park for the latest accuracy assessment values. 82% Overall Thematic Accuracy of the Vegetation Attribute Field (Veg_Code). All polygon features were checked for topology, existence of label points, and label point uniqueness. The labels were checked for correct and complete attributing. All nodes where checked for unintentional lines and to ensure that the polygons were closed. All steps preformed using ESRI ArcInfo commands. All data that could be interpreted from the 2007 new ortho-imagery were digitized in accordance with the minimum mapping unit (MMU) of 1/2 hectare. This included selected features that fell into the National Vegetation Classification and the Anderson Level II land use classification. Some classes below the MMU were included, especially water and wetland features, kipukas, and those at the edge of the study area (i.e. cut off by other features and borders). Roads (to visible right-of-way or fence line) and streams/drainages wider than 10 meters were digitized as polygons and attributed accordingly. Unknown: Assumed that the new 2007 ortho-imagery created by Fugro Horizons (Rapid City, SD) expressively for this project met the National Map Accuracy Standards, reference the ortho-imagery metadata.
