Description:

Abstract:

National Park or National Monument boundary used to delineate project area.

Purpose:

To assist with the development of vegetation maps for the National Park Service.

Supplemental_Information:

Data were imported to a file geodatabase by the Colorado Natural Heritage Program/Colorado State University. No projection information was provided with the park boundary. Date were assumed to be in UTM, Zone 11, NAD83.
