Entity and Attribute Information 6. Distribution Information 7. Metadata Reference Information 1 IDENTIFICATION INFORMATION 1.1 Citation Originator Metro Data Resource Center Publication date 1991 Title Vegetation Cover 1.2 Description Abstract The vegetation coverage is mapped with two datasets: 1. The natural areas inventory using a manual interpretation of 1989 color infrared aerial photography (approximate data coverage: inside the Metro boundary). See Green Spaces Master Plan. Used the modified USGS Anderson level II classification. 2. Remotely sensed data; thematic mapper imagery, 1989-90 (approximate data coverage: outside the Metro boundary). Purpose Supplemental information ArcView legends: gen_type.avl - draws each generalized vegetation type in a different color. det_type.avl - draws each detailed vegetation type in a different color. 1.3 Time period of content 1991 1.4 Status Progress Complete Maintenance/update frequency As needed 1.5 Spatial domain Description Clackamas, Multnomah and Washington counties Oregon except Mt.
