      <abstract>Accuracy Assessment, Observation and Plot Points</abstract>
      <purpose>To assist with the development of vegetation maps for the National Park Service. Plots were collected to characterize actual vegetation, while accuracy assessment plots were visited to verify the mapper's interpretation of the vegetation communities.</purpose>
      <supplinf>Data were reformatted to match Plots V3.0 by the Colorado Natural Heritage Program/Colorado State University. Refer to pore-gogarpt.pdf for more detailed information.</supplinf>
