This point layer shapefile of probable wetlands (PW) that are 1/10 acre or less within the Creswell study area. In some cases, a PW represents a small portion of a larger wetland that is located outside of the study area. Further investigations are needed to identify more detailed information about each PW. All field data were collected and recorded using Trimble Yuma, Global Positioning System/Geographic Information System (GPS/GIS) data recorders. Aerial imagery and shapefiles of the study area were loaded onto the units for reference in the field. The GPS/GIS units enabled field crews to digitize wetland boundaries in ArcPad; edit existing wetland boundaries as necessary; map probable wetlands, artificial wetlands and locations of sample plots, and map streams. After the field work, data were uploaded onto a desktop computer for viewing and final editing. Data are intended for planning purposes only. |
