U.S. Forest Service, Northern Research Station Forest Inventory and Analysis 20181127 vector digital data This feature class represents forest area estimates (and percent sampling error) by county for the year 2017. The data was generated from the Forest Inventory Analysis (FIA) using the EVALIDator web tool (http://apps.fs.fed.us/Evalidator/evalidator.jsp). The areas were calculated within county limits using the US Census Bureau's county spatial data (https://www.census.gov/geo/maps-data/data/cbf/cbf_counties.html). Features and attributes of the county layer were adapted to match attributes within the FIA database (FIADB) and features have been generalized by removing vertices to enhance performance. Future iterations of this dataset will be produced using refined methods and higher resolution spatial data. The primary purpose of this dataset is to serve state annual report and other FIA map applications and publications. The secondary purpose will be to streamline access and use of spatial data for FIA data users. States without available data contain null values and will be updated as data become available. Additional data descriptions are available in the most recent FIADB User Manual (https://www.fia.fs.fed.us/library/database-documentation/).
