Description:
Abstract:
This data consists of point locations of staffed offices of the US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS). The files can be downloaded to include the complete dataset or subsets of the data: subsets were extracted from the main dataset based on specific attributes, but all the rest of the metadata does apply.
Purpose:
The files below were created using the information in the U.S. FWS Corporate Master Table System. That table contains location information on all the offices within the Service that have an organization code. Unstaffed offices and some other facilities may not be included. The latitude and longitude points used are usually the location of the main administrative site. The latitude and longitude data is not completely verified, but is the best we have at this time. This data set is intended to give an overview of where USFWS has offices across the United States, including locations outside the 50 states.
