FWS announces availability of Cadastral Geodatabase
The Cadastral Data Working Group of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service is proud to announce the availability of our Cadastral
Geodatabase. This GIS data reflects the boundaries of the entire
National Wildlife Refuge System, as well as the parcel data.
http://www.fws.gov/data/Cadastral.htm
This data is current as of May 1, 2009. A revised dataset,
reflecting updates and any needed corrections, will be posted in
November 2009.
For those of you that desire data for a specific Region: in ArcMap,
select using the attribute FWSREGION. The Regions are listed by
name and Region number in the Unique Values.
The design and compilation of the cadastral geodatabase is the result
of many years of effort by FWS Cartographers and GIS Specialists.
We will continue to populate the remaining feature classes, which will
provide very detailed info regarding the land and water the FWS
manages.
