This series of vegetation maps of the Wet Tropics of Queensland Bioregion depicts the vegetationcommunity types identified by J.P Stanton and D. Stanton. The mapping is based on their interpretation of1:25,000 aerial photography. Marked-up photography was scanned and orthorectified to the Authority's1:50,000 GIS drainage coverage using an 80 metre digital elevation model (DEM). Vegetation polygonswere extracted digitally from the scanned images while their vegetation attributes were inputted manually.
WTMA (2009). ' ' [map] Edition 1. 1:50,000. Vegetation of the Wet Tropics ofQueensland. Wet Tropics Management Authority. Cairns.
The positional accuracy of the mapped vegetation polygons is ±12 metres from the true position as depictedon the Australian 1:50,000 Topographic Survey Map Series R733. Horizontal accuracy is estimated at 90%of well-defined detail within ±50 metres of true position.
