Vegetation and land-cover context of the Beaver Island archipelago

Map: Vegetation and land-cover context of the Beaver Island archipelago.

Seven-island Annual NLCD 2025 grouped land-cover context at 30 m; not an MNFI natural-community map.

Visual descriptionwritten by a machine · unchecked

A printed color-coded map shows several outlined landmasses against a pale blue background with latitude and longitude grid lines. Green, tan, pink, and blue areas distinguish mapped land-cover classes, with a legend at upper left and a scale bar near the lower left. A title and subtitle appear above the map, with small source text along the bottom.

A model wrote this. It was shown the image and the catalogue record together, and asked to keep them apart — what it saw is here, what the record told it is under "taken from the record" below. It is still wrong often enough to matter, about who is pictured, where, when, and what is happening. Read it as a way to find the image, never as evidence about it. If you can correct it, please do: write to michael.bommarito@gmail.com, or see how corrections work. Someone who recognises a face or a shoreline knows more than the model did.

Taken from the record

Not observed in the image — supplied by the archive's own catalogue, and repeated here so the two stay distinguishable.

The catalogue record identifies this as an Atlas plate in the Ecology Atlas collection, titled “Vegetation and land-cover context of the Beaver Island archipelago.” It states that the drawing uses Annual NLCD 2025 grouped land-cover data at 30 m resolution and is not an MNFI natural-community map. The record credits the archive's own data, OpenStreetMap, USGS MRLC Annual NLCD, and USGS 3DEP.

Could not make out

Stated rather than guessed at.

Small source and coordinate text along the bottom edge is not fully legible.
