      <abstract>This data set represents the extent and location of historic wetland map reports generated by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, cooperators, and contractors.  These reports contain general information on the geography, climate, soils, vegetation and wetland communities of mapped area.</abstract>
      <purpose>The purpose of the historic map information documents is to provide general information regarding the production of National Wetlands Inventory maps and wetlands found within a relatively similar geographic area.  These reports are not intended to include descriptions of all wetlands found in the area nor provide complete plant species information.</purpose>
