U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service 20180930 FWSInterest_Simplified vector digital data Falls Church, VA U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service https://www.fws.gov/gis/data/CadastralDB/index_cadastral.html https://gis.fws.gov/arcgis/rest/services/FWSCadastral_Internet/MapServer These boundaries are simplified from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Real Estate Interest data layer containing polygons representing tracts of land (parcels) in which the Service has a real estate interest. Interior boundaries between parcels were dissolved to produce a single set of simplified external boundaries for each feature. These are resource grade mapping representations of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service boundaries. For legal descriptions of the land represented here, contact the USFWS Realty Office. This map layer was compiled by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Although these boundaries represent lands administered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, not all areas are open to the public. Some fragile habitats need to be protected from human traffic and some management areas are closed. The public is urged to contact specific Refuges or other conservation areas before visiting. This data set depicts simplified boundaries of lands administered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service including National Wildlife Refuges, National Fish Hatcheries, FWS administrative sites, and other conservation areas. The FwsInterest feature class is an aggregated data layer derived by appending separate regional feature data sets into a single national data set that represents land and waters that USFWS has acquired a real estate interest in. (FwsInterest is available at: <http://www.fws.gov/GIS/data> ) This data set is a simplified version of the FwsInterest feature class. The spatial and positional accuracy of this information will vary depending on the original source data and methods utilized. All data sources are not listed in this document but are maintained regionally and are available upon request. We strive to improve the accuracy of this data and incorporate more reliable information when available. Data depicting easement lands in Region 6, the Mountain-Prairie Region, is not included in the FwsInterest feature class as it does not represent the acreage of wetland or grassland resources included in the easement contracts. This data set does not distinguish Refuges or other areas that are open to the public from those that are closed to the public for any reason. The public is urged to contact specific Refuges for information about public access. 20180731 Publication date Complete As needed -179.999989 179.999989 70.170471 -14.559746 ISO 19115 Topic Categories planningCadastre boundaries None planningCadastre, boundaries, national wildlife refuge, national fish hatchery, wetland management district, waterfowl production area, United States None United States None Although these data and information have been processed successfully on a computer system at the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, USFWS, no warranty expressed or implied is made regarding the accuracy or utility of the data and information on any other system or for general or scientific purposes, nor shall the act of distribution constitute any such warranty.
