U.S. Forest Service Automated Lands Program (ALP) 20251210 050551 vector digital data ArcGIS REST Services Directory: https://apps.fs.usda.gov/arcx/rest/services/EDW/EDW_QuarterSection_01/MapServer http://data.fs.usda.gov/geodata/edw/datasets.php This dataset is intended for read-only use. 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 Quarter Sections, which are PLSS Second Divisions. Public Land Survey System (PLSS) townships are subdivided in a spatial hierarchy of first, second, and third division. These divisions are typically aliquot parts ranging in size from 640, 160 and 40 acres, and subsequently all the way down to 2.5 acres. The data in this feature class were translated from the PLSSSecondDiv dataset in the original production data model, which defined the second division for a specific parcel of land. 20160501 publication date Complete Weekly -124.423057 -83.291012 48.999360 30.346020 ISO 19115 Topic Categories planningCadastre boundaries None Meridian Code Section Number Land Status Section Legal Description NFS Lands Township PLSS Section ALP Land Dataset Range USDA Forest Service None The USDA Forest Service makes no warranty, expressed or implied, including the warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose, nor assumes any legal liability or responsibility for the accuracy, reliability, completeness or utility of these geospatial data, or for the improper or incorrect use of these geospatial data.

SM.FS.data@usda.gov 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. This data was migrated from the CDW. The spatial features were projected and imported into the target feature class. 20160101 Vector GT-polygon composed of chains 4845 S_USA.BdySur_LSRS_QuarterSection 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 OBJECTID Internal feature number.
