In August 2011, CIR aerial photographs for Pools 14-Open River South, Upper Mississippi River and Pools Dresden-Lockport, Illinois River were collected at 16”/pixel with the same camera. All CIR aerial photos were orthorectified, mosaicked, compressed, and served via the UMESC Internet site. The CIR aerial photos were interpreted and automated using a 31-class LTRMP vegetation classification. The 2010/11 LCU databases were prepared by or under the supervision of competent and trained professional staff using documented standard operated procedures and are subject to rigorous quality control (QC) assurances (NBS, 1995).Development of the 2010/11 Land Cover/Land Use (LCU) Geographic Information System (GIS) database will provide a third systemic dataset to compare the 1989 and the 2000 systemic coverages. Though a crosswalk was needed to compare 1989 and 2000 since different vegetation classification systems were used, the 2000 and 2010/11 LCU datasets will use the same classification and classifiers, making them directly comparable. Once completed, the 2010/11 dataset will be invaluable in assessing and evaluating long-term vegetation trends and habitat changes over the past 20 years, and in assessing the current state of floodplain vegetation.The geographic extent of the UMRS is the Mississippi River floodplain from Cairo, IL to Minneapolis, MN and the Illinois River floodplain from its confluence with the Mississippi near Grafton, IL to Lake Michigan.
National Vegetation Classification Standard Version 2 was used for this classification. The version used was current as of 12-1-2011.
Pools north of Lock & Dam 13, Upper Mississippi River were mapped with a minimum mapping unit (MMU) of 1-acre. Pools south of Lock & Dam 13, Upper Mississippi River and the Illinois River were mapped with a MMU of 1-hectare.20100823ground conditionNone planned-90.703069901-90.37245314339.94462533738.903763978NoneLand CoverLC/LUAerial PhotographyLCURiver MappingFloodplain MappingFloodplain Forest MappingWetlands MappingVegetation MappingFloodplainAlthough these data have been processed successfully on a computer system at the U.S. Geological Survey, no warranty expressed or implied is made regarding the accuracy or utility of the data on any other system or for general or scientific purposes, nor shall the act of distribution constitute any such warranty.
