Fifteen-Meter Landsat Analyses of the Mississippi River: Map Series from Headwaters in the Gulf of Mexico

摘要

The purpose of the Mississippi River map series is to provide reference for ecological vulnerability throughout the entire Mississippi River Basin, which is a forthcoming product. The format of the map series is intended to allow for easy reference and includes basic reference information so that further ecological vulnerability analyses can be conducted using existing water quality data, existing hydrologic data, and land cover data. Reference data is overlaid on the map series, as follows: (1) River mile locations at 25-mile intervals (source: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, St. Louis District); (2) Lock and dam location (source: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, St. Louis District); (3) City location with state abbreviation; (4) Major Mississippi River tributaries; and (5) Floodway locations (source: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, St. Louis District).
