Red Butte Canyon Research Natural Area

Description

A spatial dataset for the Red Butte Canyon (RBC) Research Natural Area (RNA) including a Digital Elevation Model (DEM), a polygon of the RNA boundary, a a polygon of the RBC Reservoir, and a linestring of the RBC Road.

Format

The DEM raster is saved as a TIF file, with elevation in meters. The three vectors are saved as GEOJSON. All three vectors have a name attribute and geometry. All spatial data share the same CRS, NAD83 / UTM zone 12N (EPSG: 26912).

Details

The vectors are all saved as external data rather than being exported by the package. This is to avoid CRAN protesting about non-ASCII characters in their CRS.

Source

Data for the DEM was downloaded from the US National Elevation Dataset using the FedData package. The RNA boundary polygon was downloaded from the US Forest Service Geodata Clearinhouse. The RBC Reservoir polygon was (sadly) digitized by hand using Google Earth. And the road linestring was derived from the Utah AGRC Roads and Highways dataset.
