Summary
This collection of maps shows vegetation cover types that are either Dominant or Common (see project documentation for full methodology in mapping). Sparse cover types are not shown here. All patches have a dominant cover type, but not all have a Common type. Vegetation features were mapped by National Park Service staff; ground-truthing and editing of vegetation data was done by project staff, as was mapping of bare areas and channel features. Associated layers of river channels, reaches, and bottomland kilometers are included for reference.
