This layer presents the Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) zones of the world. The layer symbolizes the 6-degree wide zones employed for UTM projection.The sources of this dataset are Esri, U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), and U.S. National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA).To download the data for this layer as a layer package for use in ArcGIS desktop applications, refer to World UTM Zones Grid.

Many geometrical schemes - or map projections - are used to represent the curved surface of the Earth on map sheets. Canada uses the Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) system. It is called transverse because the strips run north-south rather than east-west along the equator. This data class shows a 10 km x 10 km coordinate system based on the UTM projection using the North American Datum 83 (NAD83) grid. It includes: * Military Grid Reference- identifies a specific military grid reference system grid cell * Fire Base Map identifier- five digit identifier used by MNR's Aviation and Forest Fire Management Program to identify a fire basemap * Atlas identifier - identifies a specific grid cell * UTM Map Sheet Number - ID number of a UTM mapsheet This product requires the use of GIS software.

This dataset contains data used to test the protocol for high-resolution mapping and monitoring of recreational impacts in protected natural areas (PNAs) using unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) surveys, Structure-from-Motion (SfM) data processing and geographic information systems (GIS) analysis to derive spatially coherent information about trail conditions (Tomczyk et al., 2023). Dataset includes the following folders:

Cocora_raster_data (~3GB) and Vinicunca_raster_data (~32GB) - a very high-resolution (cm-scale) dataset derived from UAV-generated images. Data covers selected recreational trails in Colombia (Valle de Cocora) and Peru (Vinicunca). UAV-captured images were processed using the structure-from-motion approach in Agisoft Metashape software. Data are available as GeoTIFF files in the UTM projected coordinate system (UTM 18N for Colombia, UTM 19S for Peru). Individual files are named as follows [location]_[year]_[product]_[raster cell size].tif, where:

[location] is the place of data collection (e.g., Cocora, Vinicucna)

[year] is the year of data collection (e.g., 2023)

[product] is the tape of files: DEM = digital elevation model; ortho = orthomosaic; hs = hillshade

[raster cell size] is the dimension of individual raster cell in mm (e.g., 15mm)

Cocora_vector_data. and Vinicunca_vector_data – mapping of trail tread and conditions in GIS environment (ArcPro). Data are available as shp files. Data are in the UTM projected coordinate system (UTM 18N for Colombia, UTM 19S for Peru).

Structure-from-motio n processing was performed in Agisoft Metashape (https://www.agisoft.com/, Agisoft, 2023). Mapping was performed in ArcGIS Pro (https://www.esri.com/en-us/arcgis/about-arcgis/overview, Esri, 2022). Data can be used in any GIS software, including commercial (e.g. ArcGIS) or open source (e.g. QGIS).

Summary This feature class documents the fire history on CMR from 1964 - present. This is 1 of 2 feature classes, a polygon and a point. This data has a variety of different origins which leads to differing quality of data. Within the polygon feature class, this contains perimeters that were mapped using a GPS, hand digitized, on-screen digitized, and buffered circles to the estimated acreage. These 2 files should be kept together. Within the point feature class, fires with only a _location of latitude/longitude, UTM coordinate, TRS and no estimated acreage were mapped using a point _location. GPS started being used in 1992 when the technology became available. Records from FMIS (Fire Management Information System) were reviewed and compared to refuge records. Polygon data in FMIS only occurs from 2012 to current and many acreage estimates did not match. This dataset includes ALL fires no matter the size.

Within the point feature class, fires with only a _location of latitude/longitude, UTM coordinate, TRS and no estimated acreage were mapped using a point _location. GPS started being used in 1992 when the technology became available. Data origins include: Data origins include: 1) GPS Polygon-data (Best), 2) GPS Lat/Long or UTM, 3)TRS QS, 4)TRS Point, 6)Hand digitized from topo map, 7) Circle buffer, 8)Screen digitized, 9) FMIS Lat/Long. Started compiling fire history of CMR in 2007. This has been a 10 year process.FMIS doesn't include fires polygons that are less than 10 acres. This dataset has been sent to FMIS for FMIS records to be updated with correct information. The spreadsheet contains 10-15 records without spatial information and weren't included in either feature class. Fire information from 1964 - 1980 came from records Larry Eichhorn, BLM, provided to CMR staff. Mike Granger, CMR Fire Management Officer, tracked fires on an 11x17 legal pad and all this information was brought into Excel and ArcGIS. Frequently, other information about the fires were missing which made it difficult to back track and fill in missing data. Time was spent verifiying locations that were occasionally recorded incorrectly (DMS vs DD) and converting TRS into Lat/Long and/or UTM. CMR is divided into 2 different UTM zones, zone 12 and zone 13. This occasionally caused errors in projecting. Naming conventions caused confusion. Fires are frequently names by _location and there are several "Soda Creek", "Rock Creek", etc fires. Fire numbers were occasionally missing or incorrect. Fires on BLM were included if they were "Assists". Also, fires on satellite refuges and the district were also included. Acreages from GIS were compared to FMIS acres. Please see documentation in ServCat (URL) to see how these were handled.

A digital raster graphic (DRG) is a scanned image of an U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) standard series topographic map, including all map collar information. The image inside the map neatline is georeferenced to the surface of the earth and fit to the Universal Transverse Mercator projection. The horizontal positional accuracy and datum of the DRG matches the accuracy and datum of the source map. The map is scanned at a minimum resolution of 250 dots per inch.

DRG's are created by scanning published paper maps on high-resolution scanners. The raster image is georeferenced and fit to the UTM projection. Colors are standardized to remove scanner limitations and artifacts. The average data set size is about 6 megabytes in Tagged Image File Format (TIFF) with PackBits compression. DRG's can be easily combined with other digital cartographic products such as digital elevation models (DEM) and digital orthophoto quadrangles (DOQ).

DRG's are stored as rectified TIFF files in geoTIFF format. GeoTIFF is a relatively new TIFF image storage format that incorporates georeferencing information in the header. This allows software, such as ArcView, ARC/INFO, or EPPL7 to reference the image without an additional header or world file.

Within the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources Core GIS data set the DRG's have been processed to be in compliance with departmental data standards (UTM Extended Zone 15, NAD83 datum) and the map collar information has been removed to facilitate the display of the DRG's in a seamless fashion.

These DRG's were clipped and transformed to UTM Zone 15 using EPPL7 Raster GIS.

In Spring 2019, with funding from several State partners, MassGIS contracted with the U.S. Geological Survey for statewide, 15 cm resolution, 16-bit, 4-band (RGB-IR) digital orthophotos. The data were delivered in early 2020 as 10,218 individual 1,500 m x 1,500 m tiles in a GeoTIFF format. To allow for easier distribution of this free imagery, MassGIS compressed the GeoTIFFS into the JPEG 2000 format, which retains the IR band. The tile naming convention is based on the U.S. National Grid (USNG), taking the coordinates of the southwest corner of the tile.Project specifications are based on the American Society of Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (ASPRS) standards. The data were developed based on a horizontal projection/datum of NAD 1983 2011 UTM zones 18N and 19N meters and a vertical projection/datum of NAVD 88 (GEOID 12B) meters.This digital orthoimagery was created to provide easily accessible geospatial data which are readily available to enhance the capability of federal, state, and local emergency responders, as well as to plan for homeland security efforts. These data also support The National Map.These images can serve a variety of purposes, from general planning to field reference for spatial analysis, to a tool for data development and revision of vector maps. The imagery can also serve as a reference layer or basemap for myriad applications inside geographic information system (GIS) software and web-based maps.This image service was created using JPEG 2000 versions of the imagery that MassGIS converted from GeoTiffs and distributes online.For more information see the imagery's MassGIS metadata page.

The Digital Geologic Map of International Boundary and Water Commission Mapping in Amistad National Recreation Area, Texas and Mexico is composed of GIS data layers complete with ArcMap 9.3 layer (.LYR) files, two ancillary GIS tables, a Map PDF document with ancillary map text, figures and tables, a FGDC metadata record and a 9.3 ArcMap (.MXD) Document that displays the digital map in 9.3 ArcGIS. The data were completed as a component of the Geologic Resources Inventory (GRI) program, a National Park Service (NPS) Inventory and Monitoring (I&M) funded program that is administered by the NPS Geologic Resources Division (GRD). Source geologic maps and data used to complete this GRI digital dataset were provided by the following: Eddie Collins, Amanda Masterson and Tom Tremblay (Texas Bureau of Economic Geology); Rick Page (U.S. Geological Survey); Gilbert Anaya (International Boundary and Water Commission). Detailed information concerning the sources used and their contribution the GRI product are listed in the Source Citation sections(s) of this metadata record (ibwc_metadata.txt; available at http://nrdata.nps.gov/amis/nrdata/geology/gis/ibwc_metadata.xml). All GIS and ancillary tables were produced as per the NPS GRI Geology-GIS Geodatabase Data Model v. 2.1. (available at: http://science.nature.nps.gov/im/inventory/geology/GeologyGISDataModel.cfm). The GIS data is available as a 9.3 personal geodatabase (ibwc_geology.mdb), and as shapefile (.SHP) and DBASEIV (.DBF) table files. The GIS data projection is NAD83, UTM Zone 14N. The data is within the area of interest of Amistad National Recreation Area.

These DEMs were produced from digitized contours at a cell resolution of 100 meters. Vector contours of the area were used as input to a software package that interpolates between contours to create a DEM representing the terrain surface. The vector contours had a contour interval of 25 feet. The data cover the BOREAS MSAs of the SSA and NSA and are given in a UTM map projection.
