      <abstract>The file contains the boundary polygon for Timpanogos Cave National Monument. 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 Timpanogos Cave NM.</abstract>
      <purpose>To show the location and extent of the vegetation map for Timpanogos Cave National Monument. 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.</purpose>
      <supplinf>See the cross reference to the NPS units metadata for complete metadata.</supplinf>
