Historic Watershed Land Use Assessment of the Upper Yellowstone River Valley

Details

DescriptionThe Governor’s Upper Yellowstone River Task Force was interested in land use changes over time as a gauge of cumulative effects for the Upper Yellowstone River basin. This project is a follow up to the work of Harrison and Potter (2001) that used satellite imagery to assess land cover change. Due to quality of imagery from the 1970s relative to imagery from the 1990s, they were unable to map the watershed at a level of detail required to assess land use change that occurred along the Upper Yellowstone River. The goal of this study was to map portions of the Upper Yellowstone River basin, focusing on private and public lands adjacent to the river, as well as map into the foothills for the years 1948, 1979, and 1998.TypeTextCreatorBrelsford, MonicaMaxwell, BruceHansen, AndrewGenredocumentsLanguageengDate2003SubjectRivers--MontanaYellowstone RiverYellowstone River WatershedContributing InstitutionMontana State LibraryGeographic CoverageYellowstone RiverMontanaDigital CollectionGovernor's Upper Yellowstone Task ForceDigital Formatapplication/pdfDigitization SpecificationsBorn PDF documentsCopyrightCC0
