High Island soils, wetlands, and terrain

Map: High Island soils, wetlands, and terrain.

Island-scale environmental baseline for High Island: SSURGO map units, NWI and EGLE hydric-soil context, hydrography, and 3DEP terrain.

Visual descriptionwritten by a machine · unchecked

A vertically oriented atlas map shows a coastal landmass in muted color zones, with labeled soil units, shaded terrain bands, waterways, wetland boundaries, and a legend in the upper left. A scale bar and coordinate markings appear near the bottom, with small source text along the lower edge.

A model wrote this. It was shown the image and the catalogue record together, and asked to keep them apart — what it saw is here, what the record told it is under "taken from the record" below. It is still wrong often enough to matter, about who is pictured, where, when, and what is happening. Read it as a way to find the image, never as evidence about it. If you can correct it, please do: write to michael.bommarito@gmail.com, or see how corrections work. Someone who recognises a face or a shoreline knows more than the model did.

Taken from the record

Not observed in the image — supplied by the archive's own catalogue, and repeated here so the two stay distinguishable.

Catalogued as an atlas plate in the Environmental Atlas collection. The archive describes it as an environmental baseline drawn from SSURGO soil map units, National Wetlands Inventory and Michigan EGLE hydric-soil data, hydrography, and USGS 3DEP terrain data. The catalogue credits Beaver Island Archive, OpenStreetMap contributors, USGS, USFWS, USDA NRCS, and Michigan EGLE.

Could not make out

Stated rather than guessed at.

The small source credits, coordinate labels, and some map-unit labels along the edges are difficult to read.
