Abstract:

This theme depicts visual quality objectives as defined for the 1986 Forest Plan. This information was originally developed and drafted onto 1:24,000 USFS Single Edition Quadrangles (SEQ). This is directly related to Prescott National Forest Land and Resource Management Plan, 1986.

Purpose:

The purpose of this theme is to depict visual quality objectives (VQO) on Prescott National Forest. The theme will be used to provide direction and analysis related to the management of visual quality.

Definitions: Variety Class A = Distinctive Variety Class B = Common Variety Class C = Minimal

"Sensitivity Level 1 = Highest (seen from primary travel routes, use areas and water bodies)" "Sensitivity Level 2 = Average (seen from secondary travel routes, use areas and water bodies)" "Sensitivity Level 3 = Lowest (seen from roads less than 1 & 2, and unseen areas)"

Sensitivity Levels distances: foreground - 1/4 to 1/2 mile middleground - 3 to 5 miles background - over 5 miles

Comparison with other data sets for the same area from other time periods may be inaccurate due to inconsistencies resulting from changes in photointerpretation, rounding of decimal coordinates during conversion, and mapping conventions over time. Any hardcopies utilizing these data sets shall clearly indicate their source. If the user has modified the data in any way they are obligated to describe the types of modifications they have performed on the hardcopy map. The user specifically agrees not to misrepresent these data sets, nor to imply that changes made were approved by the USFS.
