Description:

Abstract:

This geo-dataset represents the legislatively approved boundary of the Hamden Slough National Wildlife Refuge through the ending date given in the Time Period of Content. The legislative boundary is defined in U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Standard Operating Procedure 97-01 as "The extent of actual and potential federal ownership within an area delineated in a Final Environmental Assessment document, or, in those cases where an area of potential acquisition has not been delineated, the extent of actual federal ownership, established management agreements or easements."

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 file was imported into ArcInfo 7.2.1 and reprojected into UTM Zone 15, NAD83, GRS1980. The coverage was converted into a Shapefile in ArcView and updated manually using the DRG, a plat map sheet and legal descriptions as reference. To ensure accuracy of the boundary, the View Scale was set to no greater than 5000 and checked against the DRG mosaic. One tract, in Section 26, was created using the ArcInfo module COGO and survey descriptions. This tract was then incorportated into the existing boundary. This process was performed by the University of Minnesota in cooperation with the USFWS.
