Beaver Island vegetation and land-cover context

Map: Beaver Island vegetation and land-cover context.

Annual NLCD 2025 grouped land-cover context at 30 m for Beaver Island; not an MNFI natural-community map.

Visual descriptionwritten by a machine · unchecked

A vertically oriented thematic map shows a central landmass surrounded by pale blue water and graduated blue coastal bands. Large green, blue-green, pink, yellow, and orange areas divide the land into vegetation, water, development, barren, and agricultural categories. A legend appears near the upper left, with a scale bar and grid lines around the map.

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 Ecology Atlas plate and states that it was drawn from archive data in EPSG:3078. It credits OpenStreetMap contributors, USGS MRLC Annual NLCD, and USGS 3DEP; the drawing is recorded as CC BY 4.0 and the underlying data have separate terms.

Could not make out

Stated rather than guessed at.

The small source and credit text along the bottom edge is not legible.
