Abstract:
This dataset contains National Forest boundaries for the lower 48 states,including Puerto Rico. The dataset includes administrative unit boundaries dervied from the Automated Lands Project (ALP) data system and is comprised of data extracted from Regional ALP coverages, Regional GIS coverages, Cartographic Feature Files (CFF) and other sources such as USGS and BLM 1:100,000 scale maps. CFF data are digital representations, in vector format, of cartographic information. Map features are converted to digital form from maps, aerial photography, global positioning systems and related sources. CFF data are used to publish 1:24,000 - scale topographic maps in the lower 48 states.
Purpose:
CFF's depict information about geographic features on the surface of the Earth, terrain, and political and administrative units. These data were collected as part of the Forest Service Primary Base Series mapping program. ALP is an information management project that will place all land status data -- land survey net, ownership, use restrictoins, boundaries -- within an Oracle database linked to the ARC/INFO Geographic Information System (GIS). The GIS will allow information that is referenced to a ground location to be stored, updated, analyzed and graphically displayed.
