Imagery data for the Vegetation Mapping Inventory Project of Lava Beds National Monument

This reference contains the imagery data used in the completion of the baseline vegetation inventory project for the NPS park unit. Orthophotos, raw imagery, and scanned aerial photos are common files held here.

First, the Oregon Geographic Information Council coordinated the acquisition of the project imagery for the state of Oregon and adjacent California in the summer of 2009 through an agreement with the United States Department of Agriculture, Farm Services Agency, and National Agriculture Imagery Program (NAIP). The Oregon Geospatial Enterprise Office provided Digital Video Disks of the imagery to the Southern Oregon University research team. The imagery was projected to Universal Transverse Mercator zone 10, North American Datum (1983), with a spatial resolution of 1m (3.3 ft). The Lava Beds region imagery was then subset from the NAIP aerial orthophotography acquired for the entire state of Oregon and adjacent California. The 2009 NAIP imagery was collected with a Leica ADS40-SH51 digital camera that recorded 4-band multi-spectral (red, green, blue, and infrared wavelength) images. The Klamath Network staff did not make any additional modifications to the delivered NAIP imagery. Second, we used the ESRI world imagery in conjunction with the NAIP imagery when mapping.
