Supplemental information
In 2005, Dr. Robert F. Holland interpreted black and white digital orthophoto quadrangles to map vernal pool habitats. Most of the othrophoto quadrangles were compiled from air photos taken in summer of 2001. Individual polygons were digitized on-screen using Arc9.0. Obvious disturbances (see Entity Attributes below) were counted as each polygon was completed.
