Summary

This layer contains national parks protected by the Federal Government in the US. This polygon file is intended for medium to large scale thematic mapping and analysis.

Description

            

The spatial data were obtained from Natural Earth. This file is comprised of national parks administered by the National Park Service. The attributes were modified to include unit code, name, type, region, and scalerank. The coordinate system of this data is WGS 1984.

"Data includes the 398 authorized National Park Service units in the United States only. The data does not include affiliated areas and unauthorized park units. Park units over 100,000 acres appear as areas, park units under 100,000 acres as points, and linear parks, including rivers, trails, and seashores, as lines. There are a few exceptions to this rule. The park units are customized to fit 1:10,000,000-scale Natural Earth base data available at www.naturalearthdata.com." - Natural Earth
