- Abstract:
-
A Coordination Area is an area administered as part of the National Wildlife Refuge System and managed by the state under cooperative agreements between the service and a state fish and wildlife agency. Region 6, (Mountain-Prairie Region) of the U. S. Fish & Wildlife Service (USFWS) coordination areas totaling 30,905.73 acres located in 5 States (CO, MT, ND, UT, and WY) according to the Annual Report of Lands Under Control of the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service (2005).
Note that CTW is a three letter literal used to identify "Topaz Lake Wildlife Management Area", located in the state of Utah. Data used to locate this boundary was obtained from the USFWS Realty program.
- Purpose:
-
The intended application of the data is to serve as a spatial reference of coordination boundaries for use with 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.

Coordination Area 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.

- Process_Description:
-
In the Division of Realty files, all of the coordination area files were located and searched for legal descriptions and cooperative agreement documentation on their establishment. Parcels that matched the coordination area documentation were selected using the legal descriptions and PLSS data sets in ArcMap 9.1. In most cases, the PLSS data and legal descriptions matched exactly. There were several cases, however, where additional manipulation of the PLSS data was needed to further drill down to get the legal description to match the parcel boundary size. In some cases, 5 acre parcels were described in the legal description, but parcels in the original quarter-sections (160 acres) file were not fine enough to capture the legal description accurately. To solve this issue, an extension called "Make quarter Sections" (see description below) was used within ArcView 3.3. This extension/script takes a shape file of rectangles and divides each rectangle into a) 1/4s; b) 1/4, 1/4s; or c) 1/4, 1/4, 1/4s. This allowed parcels of 5 acres to be created. In two cases, DRG and DOQQs were used as the base map for heads-up digitizing the boundaries. Both of these areas are very small in size.
