Hutchinson 2009 report Natural Resource Technical Report NPS/SCPN/NRTR- 2009/273 Fort Collins, CO National Park Service doi:10.5066/F74B2Z9P The Petrified Forest National Park Accuracy Assessment Observation Location zip shapefile (pefoaa.zip) was developed as a Geographic Information Systems (GIS) product in the Petrified Forest National Park Vegetation Classification, Distribution, and Mapping project. Its spatial extent covers Petrified Forest National Park and an approximate 1 kilometer buffer around the park boundary (park environs). This zip shapefile (pefoaa.zip) maps locations of accuracy assessment observations made for the vegetation mapping project conducted at Petrified Forest National Park. Field data was collected by a team lead by M. L. McTeague. Original field data is documented in pefodata.mdb. 2006 ground condition Complete None planned Petrified Forest National Park and environs -109.901710 -109.684318 35.171353 34.792275 None USGS/NPS Vegetation Mapping Program National Park Service Vegetation Map Accuracy Assessment points None Petrified Forest National Park Arizona northeast Arizona None Standardized National Vegetation Classification System vegetation classification alliance community association Kingdom Plantae None None Lisa Thomas Southern Colorado Plateau Network Coordinator/Ecologist mailing address

Hutchinson 2009 report None Shapefile covers the entire park and any points that may be in the project environs (an approximately 1 kilometer buffer). Field observers recorded the geographic coordinates of accuracy assessment locations visited in the field. These coordinates were entered into an Access database and imported into GIS to develop the accuracy assessment shapefile. unknown Kathryn A.
