SM.FS.data@usda.gov USDA Forest Service Esri ArcGIS 13.3.4.52636 The Regional Land Status personnel are responsible for their local data stewardship and maintenance. The overall collection nationwide consists of 100% attribute accuracy based on currentness and completeness. Quality control measures taken: this feature class is populated by an automated translation process from the source feature class that is edited and maintained by the data stewards. Only stewards with the proper role grants can edit the data. The application used for editing has built in controls to only allow valid geometry and domains to control attribute integrity. This theme is current to date of publication. Generally the source information used to record spatial locations are from: 1) on-screen digitizing with a georeferenced topographic or image background; or 2) GPS field collected positions. This data was published using Feature Manipulation Engine Software. The spatial features were extracted from the transactional database, manipulated to meet the desired output format and published to the target feature class. 20160101 Vector GT-polygon composed of chains 217 S_USA.BdyOwn_LSRS_USFS_PADUS_Proc A collection of geographic features with the same geometry type (such as point, line, or polygon), the same attributes, and the same spatial reference. http://support.esri.com/en/knowledgebase/GISDictionary/term/feature%20class COMMENTS Comments from either the original data source or aggregator. See PAD-US Standards Manual Document, http://gapanalysis.usgs.gov/padus/data/standards/. Textual comments. STATE_NM Name of state or territory spelled out in Proper Case. See domain descriptions in PAD-US Standards Manual or geodatabase look up table for details. See PAD-US Standards Manual Document, http://gapanalysis.usgs.gov/padus/data/standards/. Name of state or territory spelled out in Proper Case. GIS_SRC The source of spatial data the aggregator obtained (e.g. WYGF_whmas08.shp) for each record. Files names match original source data to increase update efficiency. See PAD-US Standards Manual Document, http://gapanalysis.usgs.gov/padus/data/standards/. Name of the source of the spatial data. DES_TP The unit's land management description or designation, standardized for nation (e.g. Area of Critical Environmental Concern, Wilderness Area, State Park, Local Rec Area, Conservation Easement). See the PAD-US Data Standard for a crosswalk of "Designation Type" from source data files or the geodatabase look up table for "Designation Type" for domain descriptions. "Designation Type" supports PAD-US queries and categorical conservation measures or public access assignments in the absence of other information.

Attributed in the format 'organization name_PADUSversion_filename.filetype' (e.g. TNC_PADUS1_4_SecuredAreas2008.shp). Use acronym or replace spaces with underscore. A data aggregator submits data in the PAD-US schema according to standards and/or aggregates regional or national datasets with required fields for PAD-US translation. See PAD-US Standards Manual Document, http://gapanalysis.usgs.gov/padus/data/standards/. Aggregation of: name of organization credited with data aggregation, PAD-US publication and name of aggregated data set or file. SRC_DATE The date (yyyy/mm/dd) GIS data was published or obtained (in the case of infrequently updated files) by the data aggregator. If month or day is unknown date is yyyy/00/00. See PAD-US Standards Manual Document, http://gapanalysis.usgs.gov/padus/data/standards/. Date (yyyy/mm/dd) SOURCE_PAID A unique identifier available in the aggregator's data that identifies and groups multiple parcels within a protected area together. Source_UID and Source_PAID are the same when parcel data are not available. The "Primary Designation Name" is the same for all parcels/records with the same "Source_PAID." Protected areas that cross state boundaries should be cut at the state boundary and have the same "Source_PAID" and same "Primary Designation Name" but different "State_Name" and "Source_UIDs." This will necessitate coordination with the adjacent state Steward or the PAD-US Coordinator. Fortunately, this should be a rare occurrence. GAP uses "Source_PAID" and "State Name," "OwnerName," and "GAP Status Code" to summarize PAD-US Viewer and to assign the WDPA Code that links PAD-US for the PAD-US Viewer and to assign the WDPA Code that links PAD-US to the North American and World Database for Protected Areas (see WDPA Site Code definition). This ID identifies distinct protected areas and ensures your data are locally, nationally, and globally interoperable. See PAD-US Standards Manual Document, http://gapanalysis.usgs.gov/padus/data/standards/. Unique identifier MANG_NAME Land manager or administrative agency (e.g. USFS, State Fish and Game, City Land, TNC) standardized for the US. See PAD-US Data Standard or geodatabase look up table for "Agency Name" for full domain descriptions. Use "Manager Name" for the best depiction of federal lands as many overlapping designations (i.e. "Designation") and ownership related data gaps (i.e. "Unknown") occur in the federal theme. GAP attributes the applicable "Agency Name" to all records provided by the agency data steward in the "Manager Name" field. "Owner Name" contains ‘unknown’ values where parcel level ownership data are not yet available from authoritative data sources.

Null values indicate data gaps in source files. See PAD-US Standards Manual Document, http://gapanalysis.usgs.gov/padus/data/standards/. Name of land owner SOURCE_UID Source Unique ID is a unique identifier managed by the aggregator that differentiates each parcel or protected area (when parcel data are unavailable_within the state. GAP uses this field, rather than point in polygon associations with the first word in Primary Local Name, to join and transfer existing PAD-US attributes not maintained or included by some Stewards (for example, GAP Status Code, IUCN Category, Date of Establishment, Access) to updates. See PAD-US Standards Manual Document, http://gapanalysis.usgs.gov/padus/data/standards/ Unique Identifier GIS_ACRES The area of the feature in acres, calculated using a projected surface computation. A NAD 83, USA Contiguous Albers Equal Area Conic projection was used for Regions 1-9, and NAD 83, Alaska Albers for Region 10. U.S. Forest Service The area of a feature in acres. LOC_MANG The name of the land manager as provided by the data source or "Local Manager", to complement the standardized "Manager Name" field (e.g. ‘State Fish and Wildlife’ is a standard ‘Manager Name’, Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife is a ‘Local Manager’). Null values indicate data gaps in source files. See PAD-US Standards Manual Document, http://gapanalysis.usgs.gov/padus/data/standards/. Name of land manager CATEGORY General category for the protection mechanism associated with the protected area. ‘Fee’ is the most common way real estate is owned. A conservation ‘easement’ creates a legally enforceable land preservation agreement between a landowner and government agency or qualified land protection organization (i.e. land trust). ‘Other’ types of protection include leases, agreements or those over marine waters. ‘Designation’ is applied to designations in the federal theme not tied to title documents (e.g. National Monument, Wild and Scenic River). These may be removed to reduce overlaps for area based analyses. See PAD-US Standards Manual Document, http://gapanalysis.usgs.gov/padus/data/standards/.
