Under the jurisdiction of the National Park Service (NPS), these park units are located throughout the United States (U.S.) and its territories. Almost all the parks are located north of the equator in the western hemisphere; although a couple parksare south of the equator or in the eastern hemisphere. The dataset was compiled (and edited) from a variety sources: park-based GIS databases; U.S. Geological Survey 7.5' 1:24,000 quadrangles; NPS Park Land Status Maps; legal descriptions; etc.). The boundaries are georeferenced to the Latitude-Longitude (NAD27-Clarke 1866) coordinate system. The ID field contains the unique 4 character park code identifying each park. The NAME field contains the full park name. The NAME2 field contains information about the source, scale, and date of the boundary. The boundaries are generally the designated boundary. Inholdings may or may not be shown depending on the park. This dataset was originally created in Environmental System's Research Institute's ATLAS*GIS software and is currently maintained in this software. This dataset was created using ATLAS*GIS' Ver. 4.0 Export to ShapeFile command. The ShapeFile was then imported into PC ARC/INFO (SHAPEARC) to create a coverage. The coverage was then exported to NPSUNITS.E00. To obtain the most accurate, current boundary, users should contact the specific park. Purpose: These digital park unit boundaries should not be used for any legal boundary disputes. They are intended solely for use only in identifying the general locations of national park units throughout the U.S. This dataset was compiled to assist the NPS Water Resources Division in determining the proximity of certain hydrographic features to national park units and whether national park units are contained in other management units.

The National Park Service shall not be held liable for improper or incorrect use of the park boundary data described and/or contained herein. These data are not legal documents and are not intended to be used as such. The information contained in these data is dynamic and may change over time. The data are no better than the original sources from which they were derived. In fact, the data are likely less accurate than the original sources as no attempt has been made to thoroughly error check the data. It is the responsibility of the data user to use the data appropriately and consistent within the limitations of geospatial data in general and these data in particular. The National Park Service and the US Geological Survey gives no warranty, expressed or implied, as to the accuracy, reliability, or completeness of these data. It is strongly recommended that these data are directly acquired from an NPS server and not indirectly through other sources which may have changed the data in some way. Although these data have been processed successfully on a computer system at the USGS, no warranty expressed or implied is made regarding the utility of the data on another system or for general or scientific purposes, nor shall the act of distribution constitute any such warranty. This disclaimer applies both to individual use of the data and aggregate use with other data.

Attributes were further verified by visual inspection. Logical_Consistency_Report: Tests for logical consistency are performed by digitizing software (ATLAS*GIS). Completeness_Report: Dataset contains boundaries for only 340 of 375 park units. The missing units are typically very small (an acre or less) and don't show up on U.S. Geological Survey 7.5' quadrangles. Park boundaries are generally the legislative boundary only. No attempt has been made to include or exclude inholdings within the designated boundary. For some parks they are shown; others they are not shown. Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report: Horizontal accuracy varies depending on the source of each boundary included in the National Park System Boundary Dataset. The source of the Scotts Bluff National Monument Boundary was: "RMRO Land Div. 1:6,000 1973 Land Status Map".

Digital boundaries from existing park GIS databases were converted to ATLAS*GIS format and thinned as necessary to reduce the number of points describing the boundary to a maximum of 4,096. Analog boundaries from the U.S. Geological Survey 7.5' 1:24,000 quadrangles and from NPS Park Land Status Maps were digitized in ATLAS*GIS and directly incorporated into the master dataset.

The four character code is generally a combination of the first two letters of the first two words in a park's name (or the first four letters if the park has a one word name). For example, Yosemite National Park is YOSE while Rocky Mountain National Park is ROMO. The park's full name is the actual given name of the park. The boundary source information provides the date, scale, and originator of the particular park boundary.
