Garden Island vegetation and land-cover context

Map: Garden Island vegetation and land-cover context.

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

Visual descriptionwritten by a machine · unchecked

A color-coded thematic map shows an outlined landmass surrounded by graduated blue shading, with six land-cover classes distributed across it. A legend appears in the upper left, while a graticule, coordinate labels, and a kilometer scale bar provide geographic reference. The map uses broad areas of pale blue-green, tan, gray-green, yellow, and red, with several irregular interior patches and linear features.

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 titled “Garden Island vegetation and land-cover context.” It describes annual NLCD 2025 grouped land-cover context at 30 meters and states that it is not an MNFI natural-community map. The drawing uses archive data in EPSG:3078, with map data credited to OpenStreetMap contributors, USGS MRLC Annual NLCD, and USGS 3DEP.
