Cheyenne, Wyoming. Online_Linkage: http:\\sagemap.wr.usgs.gov\ Description: Abstract: This data set depicts land ownership in western North America. The data set was created by reformatting and merging state- and province-based ownership data layers originally acquired from diverse sources (including state GAP programs, USBLM state offices and other sources). For each original dataset 3 additional fields, "Pub_Pvt", "CA_OWN", and "SOURCE" were added and populated based on the specific ownership information contained in the source data. The original coverages were then merged based on the "CA_OWN" field. All work was completed in AcMap 8.3. This product and all source data are available online from SAGEMAP: . Purpose: To produce a uniform coverage of restricted-access federal lands in western North America for the Conservation Assessment of Sage-grouse and Sagebrush Habitats. Supplemental_Information: All of the base data in this coverage was originally compiled and published elsewhere. See 'Source Data' and 'Process Step' sections of this metadata file for details of source material.
