Lab 1- Link Choices
I've included three links on the sidebar that you might find helpful:
1) US National Atlas. This is a great site for GIS data on a wide range of subjects as well as printable maps and data documentation. I use it a lot to get outlines for states/counties/etc. when I'm doing choropleth maps.
2) USGS Vegetation Mapping. This site provides really practical guidance on how to collect field data for classifying and mapping vegetation. It contains the standards used by USGS as well as the National Park Service.
3) Field Gear. This is a link to Forestry Suppliers, Inc. They're a good place to shop for all those things that "normal" people don't need but geographers want for Christmas. You can send Santa the catalog numbers for Michigan parallax wedges, map cases, GPS add-ons, etc.
