Land Ownership Status (Relative to the Refuge System) Within The Bowdoin National Wildlife Refuge Approved Acquisition Boundary

Geospatial_Data_Presentation_Form: vector digital data

Series_Information:

Series_Name:

Land ownership data (relative to the Refuge System) for lands within each National Wildlife Refuge approved acquisition boundary

Issue_Identification: Bowdoin National Wildlife Refuge

Online_Linkage: <http://www.fws.gov/data/r6gis/landstatus.htm>

Description:

Abstract:

This data set indicates the nature of land ownership (relative to the Refuge System) within the National Wildlife Refuge approved acquisition boundary. An approved acquisition boundary delineates an area that has been approved for inclusion in a National Wildlife Refuge. However, approval does not necessarily indicate that any inholdings (areas coded as "N" in the polygon "INTTYPE1" item) that fall within the boundary will be acquired by USFWS.

Purpose:

The intended application of the data is to serve as a spatial reference for other data layers in GIS and mapping applications. It is specifically not intended to be used as a land survey or representation of land for conveyance or tax purposes.

Supplemental_Information:

Data are available in the UTM projection described herein. All _bndply83 shapefiles have an accompanying _bndpline83 shapefile.

Use_Constraints:

Land status data were compiled for resource applications. It is inappropriate to use this data in legal situations, or other applications where spatial error cannot exceed the U.S.G.S. 7.5-minute mapping standards. The data is specifically not intended to be used as a land survey or representation of land for conveyance or tax purposes. An approved acquisition boundary delineates an area that has been approved for inclusion in a National Wildlife Refuge. However, approval does not necessarily indicate that any inholdings (areas coded as "N" in the polygon "INTTYPE1" item) will be acquired by USFWS.

Used as the reference of land ownership status within the Bowdoin National Wildlife Refuge

Process_Step:

Process_Description:

Appropriate lines from a previously existing coverage containing the Bowdoin National Wildlife Refuge Approved Acquisition Boundary were converted to an ESRI shapefile using "Feature Class to Shapefile" from ArcToolbox in ArcCatalog. The ownership tracts were screen-digitized in the shapefile with the "Cut Polygon" editing feature of ArcMap, and attributed, using Realty Division analog status maps geo-referenced in ArcGIS ArcInfo version 9.2 after scanning to a "JPEG" file with Altek Corp. Colorscanner III scanner using Vidar Systems Corp. TruScan2 version 1.2.4.5 scanning software. The polygon item "ACRES" was populated using the "calculate acres" feature of XTools Pro, Version 4.0.0 (build 310).

Overview_Description:

Entity_and_Attribute_Overview:

This data set contains land ownership status relative to the Refuge System for the tracts encompassed by the Bowdoin National Wildlife Refuge approved acquisition boundary.

Entity_and_Attribute_Detail_Citation:

See Draft SOP 97-01, USFWS Lands Boundary Data (Last Revision: January 15, 1998)): this SOP document outlines procedures to standardize creation of a resource-level boundary layer for the Service and provide attribute guidelines for creating shapefiles. However, SOP 97-01 is being replaced by the Cadastral Geodatabase, which contains the boundaries and land status data for the USFWS land and water holdings. The Cadastral Data Working Group is developing a Users Manual (aka Data Dictionary) which will describe the Geodatabase in detail and provide instructions on how to use it.
For this digital land status data set, the code of "l" (indicating approved legislative boundary) has been changed to a code of "a" (indicating approved acquisition boundary) in the polyline item named "INTLCODE". The parameters of the polyline and polygon items named "ORGNAME" have been amended to accommodate the full name of the refuge. A code of "999" in the polygon item named "TRACTNO" is not a tract number; rather, it is a place holder that indicates an inholding or an area of uncertainty (i.e., a code of "u" for the polygon "INTTYPE1" item) within the approved acquisition boundary. The "ACRES" item contains the acreage of each tract (polygon). The item "ENCUMBRANCE," if applicable, has been added by the Region 6 GIS & Mapping Branch. Polyline shapefiles (i.e., _bndpline83) conform to the same attribution applied to polygon shapefiles (i.e., _bndply83). But polyline shapefiles include an attribute labeled "INTLCODE" which is defined as the "Type of boundary" specified by the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service (USFWS) Realty Division.
