Dataset Identification:
Resource Abstract:
- description: This dataset includes 40 georeferenced images, acquired on September 25th, October 12th-13th, November 10th and
December 1st, 1937 over portions of Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge, in Box Elder County, Utah. This series of images were
received from the refuge as large, hard copy black and white photos and scanned in the Region 6 Regional Office at 400 dpi
on a large-format scanner. The image files naming convention includes the date and frame number contained on the hard copy
image as well as geo for georeferenced files. The images were georeferenced in using Box Elder County 2014 CIR NAIP images.
The reference map can be used to identify locations of the images in relation to the refuge boundary. These images provide
a valuable look back in time before the major flooding which occurred in the early 1980's which the Great Salt Lake covered
nearly all of the refuge. Flooding conditions remained for 5-6 years. These images allow delineation of landscape features
and habitats including original infrastructure including levees and roads, distribution of emergent vegetation, etc. Change
over time estimates can be made from these images using current imagery for comparison. These images, and others from 1965,
are being used by refuge staff to assist in understanding and visualizing the historical content of the lands within the refuge
and how they have changed over the last 80 years. These images should be used for resource-level interpretation only.; abstract:
