Example data are included to illustrate interpretative procedures for determining locations, spatial distribution, areal extents, and cover types of wetlands characteristic of the Prairie Pothole Regional of the Northern Great Plains. A survey of wetlands for Codington Country, South Dakota, was conducted. Changes in wetland numbers and areas were determined between April 25, 1973, and October 4,1973.
