NCALM Seed: Jim Evans, Utah State University. The survey area consisted of an irregular polygon, 92 square kilometers, located on Lake Powell at White Canyon and Hite, Utah. Data were collected from February 17, 2005 to February 23, 2005. Bare-earth extraction was not performed on this dataset due to the scarceness of vegetation in the interest area.
