Data were projected to UTM, NAD83, zone 18, meters. To provide an up-to-date digital geospatial vegetation database containing base line information about the park's vegetation associations to the park's resource managers in order to ensure effective, long-term management of the natural resources held in trust.

Bowman, New Hampshire Natural Heritage Bureau 201205 Report Natural Resource Technical Report NPS/NER/NRTR--2012/584.1 http://www.usgs.gov/core_science_systems/csas/vip/parks/saga.html The overall map accuracy is 88.95% with a and Kappa index of 86.5% Photo Interpretation with field refinement. Transfer of polygons from photo to GIS coverage using orthorectified photo layer and on-screen digitizing. Photo-interpretation allowed delineation of major forest types and ground survey information was needed to produce polygons that corresponded to 2007 USNVC associations. The data set contains non-overlapping polygons with no gaps or geometry errors. Covers all lands within the 1999 boundary as shown in project boundary coverage provided by SAGA/NPS, as well as USNVC types contiguous outside boundary. Two polyons were added in 2011 to cover extent of park as depcited in the 2003 in-fee boundary file. Linear features are spatially + or - 3 m of the corresponding location on the ortho imagery.

Polygons were digitized on-screen using base layers of 1:8000 CIR aerial photography, orthorectified photo composite image, and plot based vegetation data. The polygons were updated post accuracy assessment in the fall of 2006. Two additional polygons were added in 2011 to cover extent of 2003 in-fee boundary. 200611 Sue Gawler NatureServe Regional Vegetation Ecologist mailing and physical address
