Park vegetation maps

The national lakeshore has more recently developed a small set of maps that shows the general park boundaries with associated units labeled. Also, there are maps available which show vegetation coverage for the east and west units. There are small maps of the east and west units which show various color coded vegetation types without a legend. There are also larger vegetation maps of the east and west units which show the legend in detail.
