- Abstract:
-
National Wildlife Refuges are federal lands managed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS). The primary source for boundary information is the USFWS Realty program (status maps, legal surveys) and county records (deeds and legal surveys).
- Purpose:
-
The intended application of the data is to serve as a spatial reference of refuge boundaries for other data layers in GIS and mapping applications. It is specifically not intended to be used as a land survey or representation of land for conveyance or tax purposes. The Realty Survey program in USFWS is developing cadastral information (boundary and acreage data) appropriate for legal purposes. It is expected that data created in this project will be replaced as better survey information is collected.
- Supplemental_Information:
-
Data are available both in the UTM projection described herein, and in geographic coordinates.

Refuge boundary data were compiled for resource applications. It is inappropriate to use this data in legal situations, or other applications where spatial error cannot exceed the USGS 7.5' mapping standards. This data is specifically not intended to be used as a land survey or representation of land for conveyance or tax purposes.

- Native_Data_Set_Environment:
-
Refuge data were developed with novaLIS Parcel Editor version 3.2 and ESRI's ArcInfo version 7.2.1 Patch 2 software on a PC running WINDOWS NT version 4.0 (Build 1381: Service Pack 5) operating system.
- Data_Quality_Information:
-
- Attribute_Accuracy:
-
- Attribute_Accuracy_Report:
-
The digital refuge boundary was plotted for arc and polygon attributes, and compared to USFWS Realty status maps for coding accuracy.
- Logical_Consistency_Report:
-
Software generated polygon closure information. Software check to ensure no dangling arcs and arc intersections.
- Completeness_Report:
-
Bearings and distances that represent the entire approved decision document boundary were entered. Entered values were rechecked for omissions and correctness.

- Process_Description:
-
Using ArcInfo, empty arc and point coverages were created and projected to the State Plane Coordinate System. Bearings and distances were entered using Parcel Editor (tolerances defaulted to system defaults). State Plane coordinate information was derived from National Geodetic Survey station Allen PID # kk1753 dated May 1996. Arc and polygon items were added and populated in ArcInfo. The coverage was then projected to Universal Transverse Mercator. The coverage may contain COGO attribute items (aat items ANGLE - TANGENT2). If so, please read the following: Since data in this coverage was originally entered in the State Plane Coordinate System, COGO attribute values represent the State Plane Coordinate Grid. For example, the item DISTANCE is in feet, not meters. I.e. projection from State Plane to UTM did not change these COGO attribute values.

The refuge boundary defines an area that is established in the decision document for acquisition in the National Wildlife Refuge System, or is currently owned by USFWS. See Service Lands Boundary Data SOP under "Labeling Files and Geographic Features - Legislative Boundary" (in process 1). Polygon items in addition to those referenced in the SOP include: METHOD (data source_data entry software)- sur = survey data, cogo = Parcel Editor cogo, PE3.2 = novaLIS Parcel Editor 3.2. ARC_ACRES (replaces SOP ACREAGE item). REC_ACRES (acreage on file in Realty). Additional arc items include: METHOD (as described above for polygon). The coverage may contain the aat items ANGLE - TANGENT2 (ArcInfo COGO attribute items). If so, please see the information related to these items in "Process Description" above.
