High Island vegetation and land-cover context

Map: High Island vegetation and land-cover context.

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

Visual descriptionwritten by a machine · unchecked

An atlas map shows an outlined landmass surrounded by blue water and shaded in large blocks of green, blue-green, tan, and red. A legend in the upper left identifies grouped land-cover classes, while a scale bar and coordinate labels appear near the map edges. The title and explanatory subtitle are printed above 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 identifies this as an atlas plate titled “High Island vegetation and land-cover context,” held in the Ecology Atlas collection. The record describes it as an annual NLCD 2025 grouped land-cover context map at 30-meter resolution and credits OpenStreetMap, USGS MRLC Annual NLCD, and USGS 3DEP data.

Could not make out

Stated rather than guessed at.

Small source text and some map-edge labels are difficult to read.
