This boundary coverage was derived from the following digital sources and legal documents:
1) Federal Register, Vol. 48, No. 38 Thursday, February 24, 1983 Notices Pages 8006-8015
2) USGS 1:250,000 scale Alaska Boundary Series maps entitled:
Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act December 2, 1980 P.L. 96-487
3) USGS 1:63,360 scale revised hydrography Digital Line Graphs depicting ground conditions from 1952 to 1995.
Compilation of this coverage is consistent with the standards set forth in "Service Lands Digital Boundary Process for Alaska", dated September 19, 2001, published by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Region 7, Division of Realty, Anchorage, Alaska.
1) Acquisition of revised and/or updated USGS 1:63,360 quadrangles, DLGs, or DOQQs. 2) Acquisition of revised and/or updated aerial or satellite imagery. 3) Legislative changes to the wilderness boundary. 4) Land exchanges which alter the wilderness boundary. 5) Acquisition of survey-grade data.
PROCESS SUMMARY
1) Refuge wilderness boundary was delineated on USGS 1:63,360 paper quadrangles, using official ANILCA maps and Federal Register boundary description. This was used as a guide in determining which arcs to extract from the USGS hydrography Digital Line Graphs and which section lines to generate.
2) The appropriate arcs were extracted from the hydrography DLGs.
3) The appropriate section lines were generated from the BLS PLSS files.
4) Individual ITM quadrangle-based coverages were mapjoined into one overall coverage.
5) All polygons and arcs were attributed.
6) The coverage was checked for errors and corrected if necessary.
