Whiskey Island soils, wetlands, and terrain

Map: Whiskey Island soils, wetlands, and terrain.

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

Visual descriptionwritten by a machine · unchecked

A colored environmental map shows a large tan central area surrounded by green bands, pale shoreline areas, and blue water. Thin outlined polygons and boundary lines cross the land, with a legend in the upper left and a scale bar along the bottom. Small map-unit labels appear within the mapped area.

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.

Catalogue record identifies this as an atlas plate in the Environmental Atlas collection, drawn from archive data and credited to the Beaver Island Archive, OpenStreetMap contributors, USGS, USFWS, USDA NRCS, and Michigan EGLE data.

Could not make out

Stated rather than guessed at.

Small source and credit text along the bottom, some map-unit labels, and scale-bar markings are difficult to read.
