The map was prepared by the Department of Fish and Game (DFG) under contract to the Department of Parks and Recreation (DPR) to assist DPR with preparation of a General Plan for ABDSP. The vegetation map was prepared using aerial photographs, field investigation, vegetation classification, and GIS processing and provides information on the location and extent of 94 vegetation types in the project area. The primary vegetation classification used for the project is based on A Manual of California Vegetation (Sawyer and Keeler-Wolf 1995). The data and classification work arising from this project will be used to refine future editions of the Manual. The vegetation map references other vegetation classifications as well. Vegetation mapping has been an important step in the development of State Park general plans, because it a displays a full array of biological diversity of any park planning unit, thus providing an efficient context in which to conduct natural resource planning. Several data sets were used to construct the vegetation map. The map was developed based on aerial photographs, field investigation, vegetation classification, and GIS processing. The vegetation map is derived from three sets of color aerial photographs which together provide complete coverage of the project area. Set 1: 67 prints, 18" x 18", 1:24,000 scale, Oct/Nov 1992 Set 2: 3 prints, 18" x 18", 1:48,000 scale, June 1993 Set 3: 25 prints, 9" x 9", 1:48,000 scale, Jun/Jul 1996 SPOT imagery was used to identify registration points for each of the 95 digital maps to minimize photographic distortion, and as a visual backdrop to assist on screen digitizing and quality control.

Sacramento CA 95811 916 324-6857 tkwolf@dfg.ca.gov Version 6.2 (Build 9200) ; Esri ArcGIS 10.6.1.9270 Per the data contributor, DFG's Aicha Ougzin, a new field schema was added to the latest version. This was to help crosswalk this dataset to other datasets. MAPUNIT is equal to the SERNAME attribute referred to in the final report associated with this mapping classification. In addition, WHR was replaced with CWHR_CODE. No other changes have been made. 20111201 Calif. Dept.
