Description: Land cover for the federal land, Wildcat Mountain State Park and surrounding areas
Last Update: May 1994
Data Type: Polygon
Source Data: NAPP vertical aerial photographs
Source Data Date: May 7, 1992
Source Data Scale: 1:40,000 enlarged to 1:10,000
Source Data Projection: NA
This coverage includes and extends somewhat beyond the boundaries
of the federal land and Wildcat Mountain State Park. Karen Agee
and Eric Epstein of the Wisconsin DNR Bureau of Endangered Resources
interpreted land cover for the region based on 1992 National Air
Photo Program (NAPP) 1:40,000 vertical aerial photographs (flown
May 7, 1992). The black-and-white contact prints were enlarged
to 1:10,000 to aid in the interpretation.
Fifteen classes of land cover were delineated on the enlarged
aerial photos. Linework from the aerial photos was digitized directly
into a coverage without correction for displacement or tilt.
Two techniques were used to minimize and distribute the error.
A minimum of ten dispersed control points were used for each
photograph. Land cover boundaries were rubbersheeted to roads
where the two were coincident.
