NOAA Coastal Services Center. originator Massachusetts Office of Coastal Zone Management publisher 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 intended application of the 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. SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION: The National Park Service data were obtained as individual NWR boundaries, which were then appended in order to create a continous statewide coverage.

Three levels of review are conducted (R5 GIS Lab, Realty Program, Refuge Manager), and are repeated at each step until it passes error free. See Service Lands Boundary Data Standard Operating Procedure LOGICAL CONSISTENCY REPORT: All polygons are closed, and adjusted to the most accurate geographic feature, usually a USGS 7.5' quad. All dangling arcs were removed. COMPLETENESS REPORT: All boundaries were digitized for exterior fee-titled owned lands, acquired tracts, and approved legislative area. Edit plots are reviewed for complete digitization. HORIZONTAL POSITIONAL ACCURACY REPORT: 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. PROCESS DESCRIPTION: Each of 7 National Wildlife Refuge (NWR) boundaries were appended and reprojected to state plane coordinates in order to ensure compatibility with other Massachusetts spatial data layers.
