Abstract:

This data publication includes a vector digital map (shapefile) of 1,787 random forest model detected log yards across the conterminous United States (CONUS). The model was trained on National Agriculture Imagery Program (NAIP) embeddings from 2019 to 2021. This map contains point locations for the log yards which can be used to predict forest product mill locations.
