Dataset Identification:
Resource Abstract:
- description: This dataset consists of a map depicting the landcover of the Natchez Trace Parkway. The mapping output was created
using mosaiced color infrared aerial photography of the Parkway. The map shows the distribution of 18 landcover classes based
on the National Vegetation Classification Standard. Ground-based vegetation classification was provided by the National Park
Service (NPS). The mapping output delineates grasses, road-developed areas, scrub-shrub, shrubland, plantation, water bodies,
areas of white oak, oak, pine-oak, pine-cedar, pine-sweetgum, sweetgum (including sweetgum-oak), scattered trees, swamp forest,
irregular classes, aquatic vegetation, invasive species, canopy gaps, and clouds. Total mapped area includes a 100 m buffer
outside the park boundary. 235 digital orthophoto quarter quadrangles (DOQQs) were required to cover the entire 715 km long
Parkway. For ease of use, the DOQQs were grouped into 11 mosaics, each covering a section of the Parkway. At the request of
the NPS, each mosaic was divided into ten tiles to allow for efficient loading on less robust computers.; abstract: This dataset
