Description:

Abstract:

This polygon boundary file was created by the natural resource staff at Colorado National Monument for the sole purpose of the vegetation mapping project. This boundary includes lands on all sides of the boundary that were mapped in the vegetation mapping project.

Purpose:

This boundary shows the extent of the vegetation mapping project. The intended use of all data in the park's GIS library is to support diverse park activities including planning, management, maintenance, research, and interpretation.
