B. Mapping Databases
The existing vegetation coverage is a mosaic of the USDA Forest Service (USFS) Remote Sensing Lab’s (RSL) existing vegetation data (CALVEG) Tiles 19, 20, and 21. Information on the data can be found at: http://www.fs.fed.us/r5/rsl/clearinghouse/gettiles.shtml This data was chosen as it has the highest resolution of any existing vegetation data that covered the entire OWMP study area. The tiles were merged and then clipped with the OWMP boundary layer to create vegetation coverage of the entire OWMP area.
Community Centers, Rural Regions, parcels, land use, and street centerlines are taken from the
El Dorado County GIS department. The USFS boundary is from the USFS Pacific Southwest
Region GIS Clearinghouse. The water bodies and hydrology layer is from the California Spatial
Information Library (CaSIL).
