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 sections within the Public Land Survey System (PLSS). A section is first unit of subdivision of a township and is nominally one mile square, containing 640 acres. Normally, 36 sections make up a township. 20260419 publication date Complete Weekly -150.070270 -80.939053 61.599572 28.612044 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 USA None USA 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. 20260419 Vector GT-polygon composed of chains 524692 S_USA.BdySur_LSRS_Section A collection of geographic features with the same geometry type (such as point, line, or polygon), the same attributes, and the same spatial reference. https://support.esri.com/en-us/gis-dictionary/feature-class OBJECTID Internal feature number.
