Title:
Fredericksburg and Spotsylvania National Military Park Vegetation Mapping Project - Park Boundary
Geospatial_Data_Presentation_Form: vector digital data
Online_Linkage: <http://biology.usgs.gov/npsveg/ftp/vegmapping/frsp/frspbdy.zip>
Description:
Abstract:
This shapefile represents the boundaries of Fredericksburg and Spotsylvania National Military Park (FRSP). The Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation, Division of Natural Heritage obtained it from Gregg Kneipp, Natural Resource Manager, Fredericksburg and Spotsylvania National Military Park in April 2004.
Purpose:
This shapefile was used to provide a general representation of the FRSP boundary for the vegetation classification and mapping project completed by the Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation, Division of Natural Heritage in June 2008.
