Stewart B. McKinney Great Meadows Marsh Division National Wildlife Refuge Boundary Data in Connecticut

Listed in NASA Earthdata CMR

National Wildlife Refuges are federal lands managed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS).

Description

The primary source for boundary information is the USFWS Realty program (status maps, legal surveys). An effort by the USFWS Region 5 (northeast states - ME,NH,VT, MA, RI, CT, NY, PA, NJ, MD, DE, WV, VA) Realty Division, Cartography and Spatial Data Services Branch has resulted in digital refuge boundaries for all refuges in the northeast at a scale of 1:24,000.

In 1996, survey file (dxf) boundaries were labeled, then stepped through 3 levels of quality-control review for spatial and thematic accuracy. In Dec. 1999, boundaries were redigitized to register to 1:24,000 scale USGS topographic map. The purpose of the data is to serve as a spatial reference of refuge boundaries for other data layers in GIS and mapping applications.
