These data were compiled to evaluate the magnitude and direction of change from historical conditions in climate metrics across the Southeastern Utah Group (SEUG) of National Parks. Objective(s) of our study were to quantify the magnitude and direction of change from historical conditions in climate metrics across SEUG parks at a meaningful scale for land managers and practitioners. These data represent the historical and projected future average temperatures for two emission scenarios and 12 global circulation models. Included are the annual average temperatures and the average temperatures for each season. These data were created by sampling representative locations across each National Park unit and simulating...
Hovenweep National Monument, Colorado. Hovenweep Castle. Ruined town on the Hovenweep, a tributary of the San Juan lying just within Colorado, occupying a prominent rocky bluff overlooking the usually dry bed of the creek. It consisted of a solid mass of small houses not more than 6 by 8 feet in diameter, arranged in a semicircle. The convex side was flush with the edge of the rocky bluff and inaccessible. The concave side, which was depressed like a amphitheater, was occupied by much lower and less important buildings, now almost unrecognizable. The most prominent of the buildings are solidly constructed of well-dressed stone, and not withstanding their exposed situations, are well preserved. 1874. U.S. Geological...

This polygon feature class represents vegetation communities mapped at Hovenweep National Monument. The polygons were generated using guidelines set by the USGS-NPS Vegetation Mapping Program (http://www.usgs.gov/core_science_systems/csas/vip/standards.html). Original vegetation map unit lines were drawn on mylar overlays of the project photography, then scanned to generate the linework. Due to the "snapshot" nature of the aerial photography, this vegetation layer largely reflects conditions that existed when the imagery was collected (August 1996).
