USDA Forest Service - Automated Lands Program (ALP) 20260816 002316 vector digital data ArcGIS REST Services Directory: https://apps.fs.usda.gov/arcx/rest/services/EDW/EDW_GeopoliticalUnit_01/MapServer This dataset is intended for read-only use. This dataset is a comprehensive representation of geopolitical data for the entire area of the United States and territories. This is combination of the most recent Census Bureau and Alaska Department of Natural Resources geopolitical boundary data within National Forest System lands where boundaries have been adjusted to be coincident with Forest Service data. The purpose of these data is to provide display, identification, and analysis tools for determining current boundary information for Forest Service managers, GIS specialists, and others. This dataset represents States, Counties and County-equivalents, Boroughs, Congressional Districts, Alaska Recording Districts, County Subdivisions, and Places boundaries that are derived from the latest official Census Bureau and Alaska Department of Natural Resources datasets. Features within Forest Service administrative Forest boundaries may have been modified by the Forest Service for improved accuracy and spatial coincidence. ALP Geopolitical Unit data was produced by the USDA Forest Service Automated Lands Program (ALP).

USDA Forest Service Automated Lands Program (ALP) Version 6.2 (Build 9200) ; Esri ArcGIS 10.9.1.28388 For boundaries within FS Administrative Forests or Proclaimed Forest areas, 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. This theme is current to date of publication. Accuracy testing must use NSSDA testing guidelines or be reported based on compiled, published test reports appropriate for the data collection method and equipment. The method of determining accuracy should be documented in the process step of the dataset metadata record. If published accuracy results are used, use the statement 'Compiled to meet ___ (meters, feet) horizontal accuracy at 95% confidence interval' in the metadata record, and identify the testing source used. If accuracy is locally tested to NSSDA standards, the statement 'Tested to meet ___ (meters, feet) horizontal accuracy at 95% confidence interval' should be added to the metadata record. Accuracy for legacy data may be reported according to the accuracy standard in place at the time of data collection (typically National Map Accuracy Standards). Document the standard used in the metadata record.
