- Abstract:
-
National Wildlife Refuges are federal lands managed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS). 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 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.
- 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. An approved acquisition boundary delineates an area that has been approved for inclusion into a National Wildlife Refuge. However, approval does not necessarily indicate that the entire area inside this boundary has been (or ever will be) acquired by U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.

- Native_Data_Set_Environment:
-
Refuge data were developed with ESRI's ArcInfo version 7.2.1 Patch 2 software on a PC running WINDOWS NT version 4.0 (Build 1381: Service Pack 6) operating system.
- Data_Quality_Information:
-
- Attribute_Accuracy:
-
- Attribute_Accuracy_Report:
-
Arc and polygon item values are rechecked by data entry staff for omissions and against the original data for accuracy.
- Logical_Consistency_Report:
-
Digital refuge boundary lines were overlain on DRG (USGS 7.5' topo. quads) on screen and compared for accuracy; digital boundary was compared to source material for completeness. Software capabilities were used to ensure arcs have no dangling nodes and intersection errors and to check polygons for label errors.
- Completeness_Report:
-
Arcs that represent the entire approved acquisition boundary were included. Line work was checked for omissions.
- Positional_Accuracy:
-
- Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy:
-
- Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report:
-
Digital boundary was overlain on USGS 7.5' minute topo. quad(s) (DRG). Data are stored in ArcInfo double precision.

An approved acquisition boundary as it applies to Region 6 and to the digital legislative boundary set forth in 97-01, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Lands Boundary Data Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) is defined as an area that is approved for acquisition into a National Wildlife Refuge; it may also include lands that have been acquired by fee, lease, easement, agreement, and permit. See SOP under "Labeling Files and Geographic Features - Legislative Boundary" (in process 1) for information on arc and polygon items and item values. Polygon items in addition to those referenced in the SOP include: ARC_ACRES (replaces SOP ACREAGE item), REC_ACRES and METHOD (these two items are no longer considered applicable, and therefore are not populated; however, the items are being retained to maintain consistency with coverages created previously that contain these items). There is an aat-item named METHOD which contains a code for the method of arc creation; Dig-DRG is a code for an arc digitized from the DRG.
