| Title: |
Coastal Louisiana Habitat Data - 1988 |
| Description: |
This data set consists of digital data describing wetland and upland habitats in the coastal or near Gulf Coast areas of Louisiana, in 1988. The data set includes 343 7.5' quadrangles which were digitized at the U.S. Geological Survey, National Wetlands Research Center using WAMS (Wetland Analytical Mapping System), from 1:24,000 scale hard copy maps developed by the National Wetlands Inventory (NWI). Wetlands were classified according on the NWI maps using the Cowardin, et al., wetland classification scheme to the level of salinity modifiers. Uplands were classified using a customized classification scheme which can be cross-referenced to Anderson, et al., and were added by U.S. Geological Survey, National Wetlands Research Center. The individual quadrangles were joined to create a coastwide data set. |
