Features within Forest Service Administrative Forest boundaries may have been modified by the Forest Service for improved accuracy and spatial coincidence(vertical integration). This SDE Geodatabase is intended for read-only use. This dataset is meant to provide a comprehensive representation of geopolitical data for the entire area of the United States and territories. This offers the combination of the most recent Census Bureau and Alaska DNR geopolitical data with geopolitical boundaries within FS lands that have been adjusted for better accuracy and for vertical integration with FS data. Since it is vertically integrated when coincident with FS lands, this dataset allows for better multi-layer analysis with other FS lands data, and improved cartographic applications where Census data and FS data need to be depicted in the same map. completed USDA Forest Service Automated Lands Program (ALP) pointOfContact quarterly USA place ALP Geopolitical Dataset Land Status USDA Forest Service theme boundaries theme Downloadable Data The USDA Forest Service makes no claims, promises, or guarantees about the accuracy, completeness, or adequacy of the content; and expressly disclaims liability for errors and omissions.

Feature Class dataset 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. (For more information, see: http://www.fgdc.gov/standards/documents/standards/accuracy/chapter3.pdf) 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.
