Description:
Abstract:
This data set consists of Arizona's natural vegetation.
Purpose:
The data are created to serve as base information for use in GIS systems for a variety of planning and analysis purposes. These data do not represent a legal record.
Supplemental_Information:
The manuscripts were drawn during 1976 by the various wildlife managers (game wardens) of the Arizona Game and Fish Department. The scale of the manuscript maps was one half inch to one mile (1:126,720) and the base maps were the 'County General' series provided by the Arizona Department of Transportation. The map attributes represent Arizona's natural vegetation as delineated in the 'Journal of the Arizona Academy of Science', Volume 9, supplement 2, Appendix F, published May 1974 using a classification scheme developed by David E. Brown and Charles H. Lowe. The University of Arizona did the digitizing of the gfveg manuscript during 1992 and 1993. Note: This is a different classification than the one appearing on Brown and Lowe's, 'Natural Vegetation of the Southwest' which is the cover NATVEG.
