This paper outlines the background to the preparation of a digital pre-clearing vegetation map of the shires of Wentworth and Balranald (Southern Mallee). The data set was prepared in order to provide the Southern Mallee Regional Planning Committee with a platform from which to discuss the scope for any further clearing in tbe region. The Basin Care M305 Structural Vegetation digital coverage was used as the base layer, significantly modifying codes (1, 2, 3, 4, 7) that mapped areas where the native vegetation had been replaced. Satellite imagery, aerial photographs and historical reports where used to identify where and what the vegetation types were that had been cleared. A total of 33 1:100,000 M305 map sheets tiles were modified to complete the pre-clearing map of the region. A summary of the status of each vegetation community in the region is outlined showing the extent of clearing and reservation. VIS_ID 1044
