This data set contains small-scale base GIS data layers compiled by the National Park Service Servicewide Inventory and Monitoring Program and Water Resources Division for use in a Baseline Water Quality Data Inventory and Analysis Report that was prepared for the park. The report presents the results of surface water quality data retrievals for the park from six of the United States Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) national databases: (1) Storage and Retrieval (STORET) water quality database management system; (2) River Reach File (RF3) Hydrography; (3) Industrial Facilities Discharges; (4) Drinking Water Supplies; (5) Water Gages; and (6) Water Impoundments. The small-scale GIS data layers were used to prepare the maps included in the report that depict the locations of water quality monitoring stations, industrial discharges, drinking intakes, water gages, and water impoundments. The data layers included in the maps (and this dataset) vary depending on availability, but generally include roads, hydrography, political boundaries, USGS 7.5' minute quadrangle outlines, hydrologic units, trails, and others as appropriate. The scales of each layer vary depending on data source but are generally 1:100,000.

The Digital Geologic-GIS Map of Buffalo National River and Vicinity, Arkansas is composed of GIS data layers and GIS tables, and is available in the following GRI-supported GIS data formats: 1.) a 10.1 file geodatabase (buff_geology.gdb), a 2.) Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) geopackage, and 3.) 2.2 KMZ/KML file for use in Google Earth, however, this format version of the map is limited in data layers presented and in access to GRI ancillary table information. The file geodatabase format is supported with a 1.) ArcGIS Pro map file (.mapx) file (buff_geology.mapx) and individual Pro layer (.lyrx) files (for each GIS data layer), as well as with a 2.) 10.1 ArcMap (.mxd) map document (buff_geology.mxd) and individual 10.1 layer (.lyr) files (for each GIS data layer). The OGC geopackage is supported with a QGIS project (.qgz) file. Upon request, the GIS data is also available in ESRI 10.1 shapefile format. Contact Stephanie O'Meara (see contact information below) to acquire the GIS data in these GIS data formats. In addition to the GIS data and supporting GIS files, three additional files comprise a GRI digital geologic-GIS dataset or map: 1.) A GIS readme file (buff_geology_gis_readme.pdf), 2.) the GRI ancillary map information document (.pdf) file (buff_geology.pdf) which contains geologic unit descriptions, as well as other ancillary map information and graphics from the source map(s) used by the GRI in the production of the GRI digital geologic-GIS data for the park, and 3.) a user-friendly FAQ PDF version of the metadata (buff_geology_metadata_faq.pdf). Please read the buff_geology_gis_readme.pdf for information pertaining to the proper extraction of the GIS data and other map files.

Source geologic maps and data used to complete this GRI digital dataset were provided by the following: Arkansas Geological Survey and U.S. Geological Survey. Detailed information concerning the sources used and their contribution the GRI product are listed in the Source Citation section(s) of this metadata record (buff_geology_metadata.txt or buff_geology_metadata_faq.pdf). Users of this data are cautioned about the locational accuracy of features within this dataset. Based on the source map scale of 1:24,000 and United States National Map Accuracy Standards features are within (horizontally) 12.2 meters or 40 feet of their actual location as presented by this dataset. Users of this data should thus not assume the location of features is exactly where they are portrayed in Google Earth, ArcGIS, QGIS or other software used to display this dataset. All GIS and ancillary tables were produced as per the NPS GRI Geology-GIS Geodatabase Data Model v. 2.3. (available at: https://www.nps.gov/articles/gri-geodatabase-model.htm).

All available bathymetry and related information for Buffalo Lake were collected and hard copy maps digitized where necessary. The data were validated against more recent data (Shuttle Radar Topography Mission 'SRTM' imagery and Indian Remote Sensing 'IRS' imagery) and corrected where necessary. The published data set contains the lake bathymetry formatted as an Arc ascii grid. Bathymetric contours and the boundary polygon are available as shapefiles.

PROJECT GOALS & OBJECTIVES In my initial project registration, I outlined several main objectives as follows: Short-term To quantify demographic data collected within the Klaserie Private Nature Reserve (KPNR) by Christianne Knechtel and create a life-history model with climate sensitive parameters. To create a GIS of movement data collected by C. Knechtel to quantify daily movement rates, direction, route and range; to analyze and compare this data with ongoing data collection in the Satara region of KNP (P.Cross). To create comparable databases of climatic data for both KPNR and KNP; monthly rainfall and daily temperature data will be used. To compile databases of GIS information regarding habitat (satellite imagery, vegetation analyses, soil type, slope and aspect, hydrology) for both KPNR and KNP. Long-term To create a GIS model of buffalo response to climate and habitat, incorporating demographically driven age-structured disease transmission. Assess management strategies (vaccination, culling, exclusion zones) within this GIS modeled environment of Kruger National Park. To provide Kruger National Park with information and data regarding modeled strategies, habitat data and crucial demographic data for African Buffalo. In pursuing these goals and objectives, I sought to complement ongoing monitoring of bovine tuberculosis in the Satara region with studies of buffalo ranging and demography. Several studies of buffalo ranging, habitat selection and demography were undertaken with the overarching goal of describing the relationship between buffalo and their resources in a spatially explicit and temporally dynamic way.

These data provide an accurate high-resolution shoreline compiled from imagery of Port of Buffalo, NY . This vector shoreline data is based on an office interpretation of imagery that may be suitable as a geographic information system (GIS) data layer. This metadata describes information for both the line and point shapefiles. The NGS attribution scheme 'Coastal Cartographic Object Attribute Source Table (C-COAST)' was developed to conform the attribution of various sources of shoreline data into one attribution catalog. C-COAST is not a recognized standard, but was influenced by the International Hydrographic Organization's S-57 Object-Attribute standard so the data would be more accurately translated into S-57.
