To generate a map of existing freshwater wetlands as rated by the Golet Wetland Classification System.
- From what previous works were the data drawn?
- How were the data generated, processed, and modified?
- (process 1 of 1)
- Interpreted from 1:17,500 color infrared photography Manually transferred to hardcopy clear film map of the polygons from the 1990 combined forest and wetland inventories Digitized through heads-up process onto current orthomaps using MapInfo Digitized using CARIS on a digitizing table.
