    Interactive map information:
    Vegetation (original)   (Display scale range = 1:10,000 - 1:100,000)
    The vegetation shapefiles described below were reprojected to UTM, Zone 17, WGS 84 using ArcToolbox 8.3.
    Vegetation (generalized to 30m)   (Display scale range = 1:100,000 - 1:750,000)
    The vegetation shapefiles described below were reprojected to UTM, Zone 17, WGS 84 using ArcToolbox 8.3 and generalized to 30m in ArcView 3.3 using the Point & Polyline Tools v1.2 extension.
