Abstract:
This geo-dataset represents the land ownership status boundary of the Big Oaks National Wildlife Refuge through the ending date given in the Time Period of Content.
Purpose:
The intended application of this data is to serve as a spatial reference of refuge boundaries for resource grade applications. It is specifically not intended to be used as a land survey or representation of land for conveyance or tax purposes.

Process_Step:
Process_Description:
The boundary shapefile was received from the USFWS with a projection parameter of UTM, NAD27, Zone 15 projection. This file was then reprojected into a UTM, NAD83, Zone 15 projection using the 'Projector!' extension within ArcView 3.2 NT. To ensure accuracy of the boundary, the View Scale was set to no greater than 1/5000 and checked against the DRG image. Attribute items were checked and defined to comply with USFWS standards. This process was performed by the University of Minnesota in cooperation with the USFWS.
