Abstract:
A Coordination Area is an area administered as part of the National Wildlife Refuge System and managed by the state under cooperative agreements between the service and a state fish and wildlife agency. Region 6, (Mountain-Prairie Region) of the U. S. Fish & Wildlife Service (USFWS) coordination areas totaling 30,905.73 acres located in 5 States (CO, MT, ND, UT, and WY) according to the Annual Report of Lands Under Control of the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service (2005). Note that CDW is a three letter literal used to identify "Dodson Wildlife Management Area", located in the state of Montana. Data used to locate this boundary was obtained from the USFWS Realty program.
Purpose:
The intended application of the data is to serve as a spatial reference of coordination boundaries for use with 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.

Coordination Area boundary data were compiled for resource applications.

Attribute_Accuracy:
Attribute_Accuracy_Report:
polygon item values are rechecked by data entry staff for omissions and against the original data for accuracy.
Logical_Consistency_Report:
Position of data was verified against Bureau of Land Managements Geographic Coordinate Data Base (GCDB) via the Geo-Communicator. At the time of file creation, the Geocommunicator web site did not have the township, section, and quarter section data available for download, so a different method to create this boundary file was used. This file is marked to be revisited when the LSIS data becomes available. Section 23 of this file was digitized from the 1:24K DRG and subdivided into quarter sections using the 'Make Quarter Section' extension in ArcView 3.3. Then the 3 quarter-quarter sections were selected based on the legal description in the files. This file's attributes should be retained when the LSIS data is incorporated into the file. File named "cdw_bnd_temp_utm" UTM zone 13, NAD 83.
Completeness_Report:
Arcs that represent the entire Coordination Area boundary were digitized. Line work was checked for omissions.

Process_Step:
Process_Description:
In the Division of Realty files, all of the coordination area files were located and searched for legal descriptions and cooperative agreement documentation on their establishment. Parcels that matched the coordination area documentation were selected using the legal descriptions and PLSS data sets in ArcMap 9.1. In most cases, the PLSS data and legal descriptions matched exactly. There were several cases, however, where additional manipulation of the PLSS data was needed to further drill down to get the legal description to match the parcel boundary size. In some cases, 5 acre parcels were described in the legal description, but parcels in the original quarter-sections (160 acres) file were not fine enough to capture the legal description accurately. To solve this issue, an extension called "Make quarter Sections" (see description below) was used within ArcView 3.3. This extension/script takes a shape file of rectangles and divides each rectangle into a) 1/4s; b) 1/4, 1/4s; or c) 1/4, 1/4, 1/4s. This allowed parcels of 5 acres to be created. In two cases, DRG and DOQQs were used as the base map for heads-up digitizing the boundaries. Both of these areas are very small in size.
