Sonoma County Vegetation Mapping and LiDAR Program 20140219 vector digital data This dataset represents the extent of the entire study area for the Sonoma County Vegetation Map. This study area encompasses 1,080,768 acres and covers all of Sonoma County with an extension for the Soda Spring Creek – Dry Creek Watershed (HUC 12) and addition of Lake Mendocino, all with a 250 meter buffer. The specified coordinate system for this dataset is California State Plane Zone II (FIPS 0402), NAD83 (2011), with units in US Survey Feet for horizontal, and vertical units are NAVD88 (12A) US Survey Feet. The University of Maryland (under grant NNX13AP69G from NASA’s Carbon Monitoring System, Dr. Ralph Dubayah and Dr. George Hurtt, PIs) contracted LiDAR and orthophoto data collection for all of Sonoma County in late 2013 to support countywide forest carbon mapping. The Sonoma County Vegetation Mapping and LiDAR Program (http://sonomavegmap.org) funded a suite of LiDAR derived products and additional LiDAR collection in two areas in Mendocino County - the Soda Spring Creek-Dry Creek Watershed and Lake Mendocino. This fine scale data will help provide an accurate, up-to-date inventory of the county’s landscape features, ecological communities and habitats. Project funders include: NASA, the University of Maryland, the Sonoma County Agricultural Preservation and Open Space District, the Sonoma County Water Agency, the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, the United States Geological Survey, the Sonoma County Information Systems Department, the Sonoma County Transportation and Public Works Department, the Nature Conservancy, and the City of Petaluma. The deliverables for this contract include: Hydro-flattened Ground Surface Model, First Return Surface Model, Hydrological Breaklines, 1-foot Contours, Building Planimetrics (cartographic and building extent), Forest Metric Rasters (Canopy Height and Density), Intensity Images (first-return, all-returns, vegetation-returns), and Classified LAS Point Cloud. 20130928 20131126 Ground Condition: Leica ALS50 & Leica ALS70 Complete None planned -123.238581 -122.390681 38.511668 38.298129 None LiDAR, Light Detection And Ranging, Orthophotos None Sonoma County, Lake Mendocino, Sonoma Lake Watershed None Cloverdale, Cotati, Healdsburg, Petaluma, Rohnert Park, Santa Rosa, Sebastopol, Sonoma, Windsor None Annadel State Park, Armstrong Redwoods State Reserve, Austin Creek State Recreation Area, Bothe Napa Valley State Park, Cloverdale Regional Park, Crane Creek Regional Park, Doran Beach Regional Park, Ernie Smith Park, Fairfield Osborn Preserve, Forestville River Access, Fort Ross State Historic Park, Gualala Regional Park, Helen Putnam Regional Park, Hood Mountain Regional Park, Hudeman Slough River Access, Jack London Ranch, Kruse Rhodendron Reserve State Park, Lake Sonoma, Larson Park, Maddux Ranch Regional Park, Maxwell Farms Regional Park, Old Adobe, Plaza Park, Ragle Ranch Regional Park, Riverfront Regional Park, Robert Louis Stevenson Memorial State Park, Salt Point State Park, Shaw Park, Shiloh Ranch Regional Park, Soda Spring, Sonoma Mountain Woodlands, Sonoma Coast State Beach, Steel Head Beach Park, Stillwater Cover Regional Park, Sugarloaf Ridge State Park, The Geysers, Timber Cove Totum, Timber Preserve, Tolay Lake Regional Park, Watson School/Wayside Park, Wohler Bridge Fishing Access, Youth Park None Adobe Creek-Frontal San Pablo Bay Estuaries, Bodega Harbor, Brooks Creek-Russian River, Buckeye Creek, Dutch Bill Creek-Russian River, East Austin Creek, Fowler Creek, Franz Creek, Galloway Creek, Gill Creek-Russian River, Green Valley Creek, House Creek, Lake Sonoma-Dry Creek, Little Sulphur Creek, Lower Laguna De Santa Rosa, Lower Santa Rosa Creek, Lower Sonoma Creek, Lower Wheatfield Fork Gualala River, Maacama Creek, Marshall Creek, Mill Creek, Pena Creek, Petaluma River, Porter Creek-Mark West Creek, Porter Creek-Russian River, Salmon Creek, Sausal Creek-Russian River, Schell Creek-Frontal San Pablo Bay Estuaries, Soda Spring Creek-Dry Creek, Tolay Creek-Frontal San Pablo Bay Estuaries, Upper Laguna De Santa Rosa, Upper Santa Rosa Creek, Upper Sonoma Creek, Upper Wheatfield Fork Gualala River, Ward Creek-Austin Creek, Warm Springs Creek, West Slough-Dry Creek, Willow Creek-Russian River, Windsor Creek None LiDAR data and orthophotography were provided by the University of Maryland under grant NNX13AP69G from NASA's Carbon Monitoring System (Dr. Ralph Dubayah and Dr. George Hurtt, Principal Investigators). This grant also funded the creation of derived forest cover and land cover information, including a countywide biomass and carbon map, a canopy cover map, and DEMs. The Sonoma County Vegetation Mapping and LiDAR Program funded LiDAR derived products in the California State Plane Coordinate System, such as DEMs, hillshades, building footprints, 1-foot contours, and other derived layers.
