High-altitude color infrared photo- graphs were acquired by the National Aeronautics and Space Ad- ministration during several seasons in 1974 and 1975. These photo- graphs supplied the information on hydrologic boundaries and vegetation that was needed for classification and mapping. Seasonal information was required to map the maximum number of cate- gories. The stage (water level) was determined for the time of over- flights for sites where gaging stations are in operation. A wetland classification system was developed for the Tennessee Valley Region based primarily on vegetation, and on frequency and duration of inundation. Using this new classification system, wet- lands at four sites were mapped at 1:24 000 scale as overlays on U.S. Geological Survey 7.5-minute topographic maps. Adjacent land use was also mapped, but in less detail than wetlands. -
