Soils, wetlands, and terrain of the Beaver Island archipelago

Map: Soils, wetlands, and terrain of the Beaver Island archipelago.

Seven-island environmental baseline: SSURGO map units with distinct NWI and EGLE hydric-soil outlines over 3DEP terrain.

Visual descriptionwritten by a machine · unchecked

A portrait-oriented environmental map shows seven colored land areas within a pale blue surrounding area. Multiple soil and wetland units are distinguished by colored fills and boundary lines over shaded terrain, with a legend at upper left, a coordinate grid, and a scale bar near the lower left. The title appears centered above the map, with source and data credits 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.

Catalogue title: Soils, wetlands, and terrain of the Beaver Island archipelago. The plate is described as a seven-island environmental baseline using SSURGO map units, NWI and EGLE hydric-soil outlines, and USGS 3DEP terrain. Creator and data credits include Beaver Island Archive, OpenStreetMap contributors, USGS, USFWS, USDA NRCS, and Michigan EGLE.

Could not make out

Stated rather than guessed at.

Small legend entries and the fine-print source credits at the bottom are difficult to read completely.
