Summary
This ESRI geodatabase consists of 5 feature datsets with 23 individual polygon feature classes and two raster datasets. A master campsite polygon feature class represents the boundaries of campsites identified in the 1973, 1984, and 1991 campsite inventories of the Colorado River corridor in Grand Canyon, Arizona. The other polygon feature classes represent camp locations along the Colorado River corridor in Grand Canyon, Arizona during different survey periods using different surveying techniques. The raster datasets represent sub-aerial and sub-surface sandbar surfaces at 37 long term-monitoring sites between Lees Ferry and Diamond Creek, Arizona in Grand Canyon National Park, measured in September and October of 2002 and 2009 at [...]

Hadley, D.R., Grams, P.E., Kaplinski, M.A., Hazel, J.E., Jr., and Parnell, R.A., 2018, Geomorphology and vegetation change at Colorado River campsites, Marble and Grand Canyons, Arizona: U.S. Geological Survey Report 2017–5096, 64 p., https://doi.org/10.3133/sir20175096.
The ESRI geodatabase represents campsite and sandbar surface information at long term-monitoring sites between Lees Ferry and Diamond Creek, Arizona in Grand Canyon National Park. These data can be used for analyses of campsite area change at 37 long-term monitoring sites along the Colorado River in Grand Canyon National Park from 1998 to 2012. Analyses outside the scope of campsite area change or outside the scope of the listed time period would be inappropriate. The data values represent campsite areas measured and surveyed using specific criteria and at specific sites as stated in the manuscript associated with these data. The elevation raster data are used for monitoring changes in fine-grain sediment storage among representative sites on the Colorado River in Glen, Marble, and Grand Canyons.
