National Wildlife Refuges are federal lands managed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS). The primary source for boundary information is the USFWS Realty program (status maps, legal surveys). A joint effort between the Region 5 (northeast - ME, MA, NH, VT, RI, CT, NY, PA, NJ, MD, VA, WV) GIS Lab and Realty program, has resulted in digital refuge boundaries for all refuges in the northeast at a 1:24,000 scale. The purpose of this data is to serve as a spatial reference of refuge boundaries for other data layers in GIS and mapping applications. It is specifically not intended to be used as a land survey or representation of land for conveyance or tax purposes. The Realty Survey program in USFWS is developing cadastral information (boundary and acreage data) appropriate for legal purposes. It is expected that data created in this project will be replaced as better survey information is collected. File received in ArcInfo format from the Gulf of Maine Estuary Project. Adjusted lines to conform to USGS 1:24,000 roads and hydro on the southern edge of the refuge. Refuge boundaries define areas that are approved by U.S. Congress for acquisition in the National Wildlife Refuge System, or are currently owned by USFWS. Arcs are coded with an item "boundary" that the type of boundary line and polygons are coded with an item "status" that describes their ownership status.

Three levels of review are conducted (R5 GIS Lab, Realty Program, Refuge Manager), and are repeated at each step until it passes error free. All polygons are closed, and adjusted to the most accurate geographic feature, usually a USGS 7.5' quad. All dangling arcs were removed. All boundaries were digitized for exterior fee-titled owned lands, acquired tracts, and approved legislative area. Edit plots are reviewed for complete digitization. Digital refuge boundaries are verified against USGS 7.5' DLG data such as roads, hydrography, or plotted at 1:24,000 scale and overlayed on USGS 7.5' maps. Data is stored in ArcInfo single precision. This metadata record is publicly available. asNeeded STEVENS, TYLERB.
