Summary

This layer contains Fee Title Lands, as administered by the USFWS, in the US. This polygon file is intended for large scale thematic mapping and analysis.

Description

            

The spatial data were obtained from the US Fish and Wildlife Service and are current as of 2014. The US land data were downloaded from the USFWS National Cadastral database. The attributes were modified to include complex name, organization name, division name, unit name, org code, management coe, IFWS, LIT, acre information, status, INType, tract number, comments, RSL type, and region. The coordinate system of this data is WGS 1984.

“The intended application of this data layer is as a cadastral framework 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. This data layer depicts lands and waters administered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) in North America, U.S. Trust Territories and Possessions. It may also include inholdings that are not administered by USFWS. The primary source for this information is the USFWS Realty program.” - USFWS

Supplemental information
The FwsInterest feature class is an aggregated data layer derived by appending separate regional feature data sets into a single national set. The spatial and positional accuracy of this information will vary depending on the original source data and methods utilized. Data sources are not listed in this document but are maintained for each region and can be requested. We strive to improve the accuracy of this data and incorporate more reliable information when available.

Abstract
                            The spatial data were obtained from the US Fish and Wildlife Service and are current as of 2014. The US land data were downloaded from the USFWS National Cadastral database. The attributes were modified to include name, code and identification information, status, type, and other information. The coordinate system of this data is WGS 1984.“The intended application of this data layer is as a cadastral framework 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. This data layer depicts lands and waters administered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) in North America, U.S. Trust Territories and Possessions. It may also include inholdings that are not administered by USFWS. The primary source for this information is the USFWS Realty program.” - USFWS 
                          
Purpose
                            This layer contains Fee Title Lands, as administered by the USFWS, in the US. This polygon file is intended for large scale thematic mapping and analysis.
                          
Supplemental Information
                            The FwsInterest feature class is an aggregated data layer derived by appending separate regional feature data sets into a single national set. The spatial and positional accuracy of this information will vary depending on the original source data and methods utilized. Data sources are not listed in this document but are maintained for each region and can be requested. We strive to improve the accuracy of this data and incorporate more reliable information when available.
