Summary

To document the fire history of the HJ Andrews and provide digital data for further analysis. This layer has individual polygons of the fire boundaries, merged into one layer. This layer is useful for analysis of overlapping fire events.

Description

Fire History - H J Andrews and Vicinity (1482 - 1952) individual polygons. Fire history studies by Peter Teensma provide the base information for this layer. Individual fire episodes were manuscripted onto HJA base maps and digitized. Fire episodes were maintained in thirty one separate polygon coverages, until Arc/Info Version 7 provided the region feature class to accomodate overlapping polygons. REGIONPOLY was used to create regions for each fire episode and then the 31 episode regions were combined using UNION.

The field "AGE" = 0 means that a fire occured in the polygon. AGE = 1 means that fire was absent. COUNT indicates the number if fire events in that polygon.
