Data sources used in this process:
The sources used for digitizing strata boundaries are 1:100,000 scale Digital Raster Graphics
There are no known gaps or missing data. This data set includes the area in square miles and number of acres for each strata. Because the area sampling frame strata boundaries are modified, the boundaries may not be coincident with strata boundaries of adjacent states.
Checks for topological consistency were performed on this data set.
Are there legal restrictions on access or use of the data?
- Access_Constraints: None
- Use_Constraints:
- None. Acknowledgment of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, National Agricultural Statistics Service would be appreciated in products derived from these data.
