Hog Island vegetation and land-cover context

Map: Hog Island vegetation and land-cover context.

Annual NLCD 2025 grouped land-cover context at 30 m for Hog Island; not an MNFI natural-community map.

Visual descriptionwritten by a machine · unchecked

A map plate shows a vertically oriented, irregularly shaped landmass surrounded by blue water. Most of the area is green forest, with light-blue and dark-blue wetland patches, pale tan shoreline and open areas, and smaller developed or cultivated areas. A color legend appears at upper left, with a scale bar and coordinate grid around the map.

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 titled “Hog Island vegetation and land-cover context.” The archive describes it as annual NLCD 2025 grouped land-cover context at 30 m, drawn from archive data in EPSG:3078, and notes that it is not an MNFI natural-community map.

Could not make out

Stated rather than guessed at.

Small coordinate labels, footer text, and some scale-bar markings are difficult to read.
