This project is authorized as part of the USGS/NPS Vegetation Mapping Program. The program is being administered by the Biological Resources Division (BRD) of the United States Geological Survey (USGS) in conjunction with the National Park Service (NPS) Inventory and Monitoring Program. The NPS Gulf Coast Inventory and Monitoring Network is responsible for the overall management and oversight of all on-going mapping efforts in this network. This mapping effort was performed by Cogan Technology Inc. (CTI) Galena, IL under contract to the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation's (USBR) Remote Sensing and GIS Group, Technical Service Center, Denver, Colorado. All of the classification work that facilitated this project was completed by NatureServe and the Botanical Research Institute of Texas. 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 specfic 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, and 6) assist in overall NPS Operations.

Please read the accompanying report or check with SAAN for the latest accuracy assessment values. 89% Overall Thematic Accuracy of the Vegetation Attribute Field. 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 aerial photos were digitized in accordance with the minimum mapping unit (MMU) of 1/4 acre. 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 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.

Field work helped create a list of NVC associations and alliances for SAAN. In addition, the Park had specific types that were also mapped (i.e. Park Specials). The final list of map classes was based directly on the NVC associations and alliances, park specials, and land-use and standard land-cover categories.

Galena IL 61036 USA 815-777-1773 dancogan@cogantech.com 8-5 none IMAGE INTERPRETATION/SEGMENTATION: All map classes were used to interpret and segment the vegetation as shown on the 2005 NAIP, 1:12,000-scale, true color ortho-photography, the 2004 NAIP 1:12,000-scale, color infrared ortho-photography, and the 2003 NAIP, 1:12,000-scale, color infrared ortho-photography. The 2005 imagery was used as the basemap and the 2004 and 2003 were used as an ancillary base to aid in delineating the grasses and deciduous trees. Segmentation of the imagery was conducted using eCognitation software to delineate obvious land-use and land-cover features. Interpretation and on-screen digitizing of the imagery was used to supplement the segmentation. Final vegetation polygons were based on their identification features such as tone, texture, color, pattern, topographic position, and shadow. In addition, field sample locations and their vegetation descriptions aided in assigning a map class to each polygon. Unknown Dan Cogan CTI Project Manager mailing address
