This shapefile consists of other waters polygons within the Creswell study area that are man-made water features such as industrial ponds, golf course ponds and stormwater detention facilities. Other waters were identified and mapped based on aerial imagery and field verification where possible. 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, other waters 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. |
