The National Parks dataset is frequently updated by the National Park Service (NPS) and is part of the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT)/Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) National Transportation Atlas Database (NTAD). This dataset depicts National Park Service boundary data that was created by the Land Resources Division. NPS Director's Order #25 states: "Land status maps will be prepared to identify the ownership of the lands within the authorized boundaries of the park unit. These maps, showing ownership and acreage, are the 'official record' of the acreage of Federal and non-federal lands within the park boundaries. While these maps are the official record of the lands and acreage within the unit's authorized boundaries, they are not of survey quality and not intended to be used for survey purposes." As such this data is intended for use as a tool for GIS analysis. It is in no way intended for engineering or legal purposes.

Administrative Boundaries of National Park System UnitsThis National Geospatial Data Asset (NGDA) dataset, shared as a National Park Service (NPS) feature layer, displays National Park Service tract and boundary data that was created by the Land Resources Division. Per NPS, "Boundary polygons have been created by the Lands Resources Program according to the procedures defined in the Lands Acquisition Procedures Manual. Boundaries were created with data provided by Parks, Region, and Program offices. This data includes but is not limited to deeds, legal descriptions, legislation, survey plats, change orders, segment maps, and the ownership databases of the Land Resources Program."Frederick Douglass and National Capital ParksData currency: current Federal service (NPS Land Resources Division Boundary and Tract Data Service)NGDAID: 16 (Administrative Boundaries of National Park System Units - National Geospatial Data Asset (NGDA) NPS National Parks Dataset)For more information: Administrative Boundaries of National Park System Units - National Geospatial Data Asset (NGDA) NPS National Parks DatasetFor feedback please contact: Esri_US_Federal_Data@esri.comNGDA Theme CommunityThis data set is part of the NGDA Cadastre Theme Community. Per the Federal Geospatial Data Committee (FGDC), Cadastre is defined as the "past, current, and future rights and interests in real property including the spatial information necessary to describe geographic extents. Rights and interests are benefits or enjoyment in real property that can be conveyed, transferred, or otherwise allocated to another for economic remuneration. Rights and interests are recorded in land record documents. The spatial information necessary to describe geographic extents includes surveys and legal description frameworks such as the Public Land Survey System, as well as parcel-by-parcel surveys and descriptions. Does not include federal government or military facilities."For other NGDA Content: Esri Federal Datasets

This service depicts National Park Service tract and boundary data that was created by the Land Resources Division. NPS Director's Order #25 states: "Land status maps will be prepared to identify the ownership of the lands within the authorized boundaries of the park unit. These maps, showing ownership and acreage, are the 'official record' of the acreage of Federal and non-federal lands within the park boundaries. While these maps are the official record of the lands and acreage within the unit's authorized boundaries, they are not of survey quality and not intended to be used for survey purposes." As such this data is intended for use as a tool for GIS analysis. It is in no way intended for engineering or legal purposes. The data accuracy is checked against best available sources which may be dated and vary by location. NPS assumes no liability for use of this data. The boundary polygons represent the current legislated boundary of a given NPS unit. NPS does not necessarily have full fee ownership or hold another interest (easement, right of way, etc...) in all parcels contained within this boundary. Equivalently NPS may own or have an interest in parcels outside the legislated boundary of a given unit. In order to obtain complete information about current NPS interests both inside and outside a unit’s legislated boundary tract level polygons are also created by NPS Land Resources Division and should be used in conjunction with this boundary data.

Contained within the National Parks, 1961 to 1994, Atlas of Canada series, is a map that shows the Pacific Rim National Park. The map consists of four maps. One is a reference map to the park, at a scale of 1: 500 000, showing the three parts of the park. The other three maps, which are all at 1: 70 000, show each of the park's parts. The maps at 1: 70 000 were compiled from topographic maps. However, these maps have some features not found on a normal topographic map, notably, shaded relief, bathymetric details, and the use of red labels to indicate recreational features in the park. The map also has information about the park, and contains some photos of the park.

Contained within the National Parks, 1961 to 1994, Atlas of Canada series, is a map that shows Terra Nova National Park. The map is at 1: 50 000, and so is compiled from topographic maps at the same scale. he map has some unique features not found on a normal topographic map: shaded relief, and the use of red labels to indicate recreational features in the park. There is an inset map at 1: 12 000 [one inch equaling 1 000 feet] showing details of facilities near the Park Headquarters.

This feature class contains lands that make up the State Parks and State Trails in Florida as of January 31, 2025.

High resolution vegetation polygons mapped by the National Park Service. The Vegetation Map of Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks was produced over an eight year period (2000-2007) to describe and map the vascular plant associations of the two southern Sierra Nevada national parks. Over 80,000 individual vegetation polygons are mapped to 172 vegetation classes. Overall spatial accuracy of the resulting map products is equivalent to 1:24000 National Map Accuracy Standards. Vegetation delineations are based on photo interpretation of 1:15,840 scale color infrared photography acquired by Pacific Western Technologies (PWT) during two missions conducted in July of 2000 and 2001. Photo interpretation and automation, including rectification to the 1:24000 Digital Photo Orthoquads (DOQQs) was performed by Aerial Information Systems (AIS) under subcontract to Environmental Systems Research Institute (ESRI), who provided project management and final cartographic products. Development of the National Vegetation Classification Standard (NVCS) compliant mapping classification and accuracy assessment of the final map products, along with all associated field sampling, was performed by NPS ecologists at Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks. Overall map accuracy is 80% at the association level and 86% at the alliance level (based on 2409 field assessments). This version also contains CALVEG crosswalks used by the California U.S. Forest Service. The Vegetation Mapping Inventory (VMI) is a cooperative effort by the Inventory and Monitoring Division (IMD) of the National Park Service (NPS) and the Biological Resource Division of the U.S. The minimum mapping unit (MMU) is 1/2 hectare.

The National Parks and National Park Reserves of Canada Legislative Boundaries web service includes the following lands: 1) National Parks of Canada as defined in Schedule 1 of the Canada National Parks Act, 2) National Park Reserves of Canada as defined in Schedule 2 of the Canada National Parks Act, 3) Rouge National Urban Park as defined in the Rouge National Urban Park Act and 4) Saguenay–St. Lawrence Marine Park as defined in the Saguenay-St. Lawrence Marine Park Act. The Data available for download is the former National Framework Canada Lands Administrative Boundaries Level 1 product. There are some attribute differences between the data available for download and the web service; however both contain the same underlying data. Please refer to the Supporting Documents for additional information on the National Framework Canada Lands Administrative Boundaries Level 1 dataset. Work is under way to align these two data products. As well, the Comprehensive Claims Settlement Areas have been removed from this dataset, but can be obtained from the Post-1975 Treaties (Modern Treaties) dataset produced by Indigenous and Northern Affairs Canada.

The files linked to this reference are the geospatial data created as part of the completion of the baseline vegetation inventory project for the NPS park unit. Current format is ArcGIS file geodatabase. A vegetation classification and vegetation and land cover map of Redwood National and State Parks (RNSP) was created from remotely sensed and ground-verified data. The project was undertaken to provide data for the National Vegetation Mapping Inventory Program (VMI) with which to inform local NPS management and the public. Products of the project include a digital vegetation and land cover map, a taxonomic classification, quantitative floristic vegetation plot data, and report. The map employed the U.S. National Vegetation Classification (USNVC) to map 142,062 acres (57,491 hectares) of RNSP. Forty-five (45) vegetated map classes at the level of USNVC alliance and four non-vegetated land cover classes were mapped. Eighty-nine (89)% (126,796 acres) of RNSP mapped as forest or woodland, 0.9% (1,322 acres) was mapped as shrubland, 3.7% (5,294 acres) was mapped as herbaceous vegetation, 1.4% (2,053 acres) was mapped as barren, 4.2% (6,035 acres) was mapped as water, and 0.4% (562 acres) was not classified and was mapped as unknown land cover. A thematic accuracy assessment was conducted on the 30 most abundant vegetation classes, employing 512 observations throughout RNSP. The overall accuracy at the alliance level vegetation classes was found to be 65.5%. When the classes are aggregated to thematically coarser levels, the accuracy is 86.2% at the USNVC group level and 95.4% at the level of USNVC macrogroup.

About 8% of the Kenya’s land mass is protected area for wildlife conservation. Protected areas are gazetted landscapes/seascapes that have been surveyed, demarcated and gazetted either as National Parks and/or National Reserves. In Kenya, Protected areas embrace various types of ecosystems namely: forests, wetlands, savannah, marine, arid and semi-arid. The protected areas comprise of 23 terrestrial National Parks, 28 terrestrial National Reserves, 4 marine National Parks, 6 marine National Reserves and 4 national sanctuaries. In addition KWS manages over a hundred field stations/ outposts outside the protected areas.As noted above protected areas in Kenya are categorized either as parks or reserves. The distinction between the two categories is: in parks there is complete protection of natural resources and the only activities allowed are tourism and research. On the other hand in reserves, human activities are allowed under specific conditions. These activities are for instance fishing in marine reserves or firewood collection in terrestrial reserves. It is worth mentioning that a lot of Kenya’s wildlife lives outside Protected Areas, this is because most of the protected areas are not fully fenced, and hence wildlife moves in and out of these areas in search of pasture and water during certain periods within the year. When they move out of the protected areas, they interact with people on private and community land causing human wildlife conflict. This therefore requires that KWS embraces a strategic partnership with communities living in wildlife areas.

This work was completed as part of The Bahamas GEF 2020: Meeting the Challenge of 2020 project, The Nature Conservancy was tasked alongside Bahamas National Trust to draft zoning plans for five marine parks including:1. Bonefish Pond National Park (BPNP) – New Providence Island2. Lucayan National Park (LNP) – Grand Bahama Island3. Moriah Harbour Cay National Park (MHCNP) – The Exumas4. Exuma Cays Land and Sea Park (ECLSP) – The Exumas5. Andros West Side National Park (AWSNP) – Andros IslandClassification was completed using a mosaic of Planet DoveClassic imagery captured between 2018-2019, for Andros West Side National Park. Image classification of the five National Parks was performed using Trimble eCognition v10 software. A custom rule set for classifying both the land and benthic habitat classes was developed and tested for each park within eCognition Developer using an Object-based Image Analysis (OBIA) approach. Classes were extracted using both spectral and non-spectral attributes, including bathymetry and corresponding spatial and contextual information. Land cover and Benthic Habitat Description for the Bahamas GEF Project:Barren - Above ground areas that are dry and absent of vegetation cover (e.g. sand, impervious)Grass - Grassy or pasture areas where low levels of short scrub/shrub vegetation may exist Forest - Coppice or mixed forest cover. In Andros Westside NP, the forests are distinguished between pine and coppice.Mangrove - Mangrove forests with taller, fuller canopies (less canopy gaps/low ground detection)Mangrove Sparse - Mangrove forests with shorter, thin canopies (more canopy gaps/high ground detection)Mud/Muddy Bottom - Inland or near-shore shallow areas such as coastal lagoons, estuaries, and inundated mud flats with higher levels of sediment and turbidity.Vegetation Sparse - Areas of intermittent vegetation including sparse forest cover and scrub/shrubWater Inland - Water bodies including coastal lagoons, tidal creeks, inlets, ponds, and blue holes surrounded by land. Includes both brackish and freshwater features.Coral/Algal - Includes fringing, patch, and deeper bank/shelf reefs with presence of live coral colonies or structure that is extensive or patchy with gorgonians, sponges and sparse seagrass and/or algae dominate the substrate between coral colonies.Hardbottom Dense - Low relief and scoured hardground with higher densities of mixed assemblages of gorgonians, sponges and macroalgae that vary with depth and location.Hardbottom Sparse - Low relief, scoured hardground with lower densities of algae, gorgonians with remaining substrate sparsely covered with hard corals and sponges.Sand - Low relief, sand substrate found in depths up to 30m with a bare to sparse living community cover (<10%). These areas can be covered by a layer of cyanobacteria and commonly includes green algae genera.Seagrass Dense - Found in shallow lagoons or relatively sheltered zones at a depth of 2-10m, characterized by a low relief, sand substrate with dense seagrass species cover with >50% cover.Seagrass Sparse - Found in shallow lagoons or relatively sheltered zones at a depth of 2-10m, characterized by a low relief, sand substrate with sparse seagrass species cover with <50% cover. Cyanobacteria often form dense mats between macroalgal stalks covering the underlying sandy substrate.Spur and Groove - Alternating reef formations (spurs) and accumulating sand channels (groove) that are oriented perpendicular to the shore with medium–high relief, starting at about 10m dropping to depth reaching about 25 to 30m.Water Deep - Ocean Areas beyond the range of optical seafloor reflectance >30m) recorded by the satellite system. Habitats are unknown and require active sensing to be mapped.
