Description:
Abstract:
The NC Center for Geographic Information and Analysis, using
US Geological Survey maps, developed the GIS data set, Federal Land
Ownership, to delineate the boundaries of land in North
Carolina that is owned and managed by the US Government. This
file is updated as changes occur.
Purpose:
These data were created to assist governmental agencies and others in
making resource management decisions through use of a Geographic
Information System (GIS).
Supplemental_Information:
The portion of the Cape Hatteras National Seashore which
lies on Roanoke Island was digitized from 1:24,000-scale
USGS quads, which had the boundary outlined by the Refuge
manager.

Revisions and updates to this layer include:
9.) April 2007: Update to this layer includes correction of acreage
values.

8.) March 2006: Updates to this layer
consist of boundary edits from Federal Managed Areas (DENR, Division
of Parks and Recreation) data.

7.) April 2003: Updates to this layer
consist of boundary edits from Federal Managed Areas (DENR, Division
of Parks and Recreation) data.

6.) June 2000: Update to this layer
consisted of adding .pat attribute data that was inadvertently
not added with the May 17, 1995 boundary updates.  Also, an acres
item was added to the .pat, and the acres were calculated for
each polygon.

5.) December 1998: Update to this layer
consisted of projecting the data from NAD27 datum, State Plane
projection, units of measure feet TO: NAD83 DATUM, State Plane
PROJECTION, UNITS OF MEASURE METERS.  This was done to comply
with the NC Geographic Information Coordinating Council's
"Statement of Direction for North Carolina Corporate Geographic
Database Horizontal Reference, Datum and Unit of Measure".
This reprojecting was done in various ways depending on the data
type and content.  Vector data was projected using the 'project'
command in ESRI's Arc software and topology was cleaned and
built based on coverage needs.  Raster data was projected using
ESRI's Grid module and various steps as applicable.

4.) January 1996: Update consisted of
changing a label point in a polygon that was null to "Great Smoky
Mountains National Park".  This edit took place in Swain County.
PRIOR TO THE 1/23/96 VERSION, THIS LAYER WAS NAME NC.FLO

3.) May 1995: Update consisted of several polygonal additions
from three US Fish and Wildlife base maps.  The changes occurred
in the Roanoke River National Wildlife Refuge and the Currituck
National Wildlife Refuge.

2.) November 1993: Update consisted of
shifting the 1:250,000-scale federal land data to integrate it
with 1:100,000-scale county boundaries.  This coverage now
corresponds to the USGS 1:100,000-scale county boundary files.

1.) February 1993: Layer was changed from nc.usfp to
nc.flo.  The 1988 update consisted of adding the Alligator
River Wildlife Refuge boundaries from the Department of
Transportation Highway maps. No previous versions were archived.

Data_Quality_Information:
Attribute_Accuracy:
Attribute_Accuracy_Report:
The US Geological Survey delineated the boundaries on 1:250,000-,
1:100,000-, and 1:24,000-scale USGS topographic maps. NCCGIA digitized
these boundaries and attributed them with codes supplied by the US
Fish and Wildlife Service, including: controlling US land management
agency, and FIPS.  The digital files were plotted and overlayed to the
originals and linework and label corrections were made.
Logical_Consistency_Report:
Using ESRI's ARC/INFO GIS software, the
dataset was built for arc and polygon topology using the "build" command.
The data set was then cleaned with a fuzzy tolerance of (1 foot).  Topo-
logy has not been edited since the last build or clean.
Completeness_Report:
These data represent the locations and identities
of lands in North Carolina, which are owned and managed by the US Govern-
ment as mapped by the US Geological Survey and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service.
Positional_Accuracy:
Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy:
Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report:
Federal land boundaries were
marked on 1:250,000-, 1:100,000-, or 1:24,000-scale maps, all of
which meet National Map Accuracy Standards, using a best estimate
with reference to surrounding features.  Boundaries drawn were
digitized and check plots used to ensure correct boundary location,
within a line width.

Process_Step:
Process_Description:
The boundaries of the federally-owned lands in North
Carolina were delineated by cartographers on USGS
1:250,000-, 1:100,000-, or 1:24,000-scale topographic maps.
The linework was digitized by NCCGIA then it was checked by
light table review.  Any necessary corrections were made and new
check plots were run.  Post processing involved edgematching and
mapjoining across map borders to create the final statewide data set.
USFS suplies CGIA with updates as they occur.
