Description

Color infrared (CIR) aerial photographs were acquired as baseline imagery data to produce vegetation spatial database coverages of Petrified Forest National Park (PEFO) and environs. Aerial photos were collected on September 13, 14, 17, and 19 of 2003 and June 17 of 2004 at a scale of 1:6,000 The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) in coordination with Kansas State University, has produced spatially referenced aerial photo mosaic images of the aerial photographs for both the north and south portions of the park and their environs. The photo mosaics are raster datasets compressed with ERMapper (ERDAS), projected in Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM), Zone 12, using the North American Datum of 1983 (NAD83).
