Northern Colorado Plateau Network, Inventory and Monitoring Program 20110715 vector digital data http://www1.usgs.gov/vip/gosp/gospgeodata.zip doi:10.5066/F7WH2MZM The file contains the boundary polygon for Golden Spike National Historic Site. This coverage is a subset of the National Park Service unit boundaries dataset. Vegetation communities were mapped only to the park boundary. There was no buffer area mapped for Golden Spike NHS. To show the location and extent of the vegetation map for Golden Spike National Historic Site. The intended use of all data in the park's GIS library is to support diverse park activities including planning, management, maintenance, research, and interpretation. 20110715 publication date Complete None planned Golden Spike National Historic Site -112.640873 -112.443018 41.675314 41.557611 none Project Boundary Vegetation map boundary Boundary National Park Service Theme Category Thesaurus Vegetation ISO 19115 Topic Category biota none Golden Spike National Historic Site GOSP Box Elder County Utah UT Colorado Plateau National Park Service NPS USA National Park System Unit Name Thesaurus Golden Spike National Historic Site National Park System Unit Code Thesaurus GOSP none Any person using the information presented here should fully understand the data collection and compilation procedures, as described in these metadata, before beginning analyses.
