- Description:
- Abstract:
- This data set depicts public roads and related features such as parking lots that are
located on National Wildlife Refuges and National Fish Hatcheries. Coverage is
nationwide: this particular part of the set covers the upper midwest region. The primary
source for this data is a survey conducted by the Federal Highway Administration during
the years 2000 and 2001, using GPS units.
- Purpose:
- The intended application of the data is a baseline inventory of publicly used roads and
related facilities in the National Wildlife Refuge System. The Federal Highway
Administration will fund maintenance on many of these facilities, but an inventory is
required as part of that funding.

- Use_Constraints:
- This data was collected using Trimble GPS receivers, and differentially corrected using
base stations with 200 kilometers. The receivers offer 1-3 meter resolution,
depending on the time of the data collection and the ground cover. This data was
then exported using the WGS 1984 datum, in Latitude & Longitude coordinates.
Any use should not exceed these accuracy constraints.
