Content Description

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). An effort by the USFWS Region 4 (southeast states - AL, AR, FL, KY, GA, LA, MS, NC, SC, TN, PR, VI) Realty Division, Surveys and Maps Branch resulted in digital refuge boundaries for all refuges in the southeast at a scale of 1:24,000.
Purpose: The intended application of the refuge boundary data is for use as a spatial reference 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. For survey data, please contact USFWS, Region 4, Realty Division, Surveys and Maps Branch.
Supplemental Information: Data are available both in the UTM projection described herein, and in geographic coordinates.
