Title:: Beaverdam Creek Cemeteries Data from U.S. Geographic Names Information System

Geospatial_Data_Presentation_Form: maps data

Description:

Abstract:: Beaverdam Creek watershed cemetery locations. Provides the name of the cemetery and the FIPS code for the county the cemetery is situated within.

Purpose:: Provides the location of cemeteries for visualization of active and proposed Save Our Streams (SOS) sample site locations within the Beaverdam Creek watershed. Produced as part of BeaverDamCreekMonitoringStations_poster.mxd for an EPA grant proposal by the National Biological Information Infrastructure (NBII) Southern Appalachian Information Node (SAIN) for the Southern Appalachian Man and the Biosphere (SAMAB) Southern Appalachian Volunteer Environmental Monitoring (SAVEM) Program.

Supplemental_Information:: For more details, see U.S. Geographic Names Information System metadata. (previous geoform was 'vector digital data'). PJ Nabors, Biogeographer, was the original access point of contact and metadata author.
