Identification_Information: Citation: Citation_Information: Originator: National Park Service, Water Resources Publication_Date: April 1999 Title: Park Boundary of Washita Battlefield National Historic Site Vegetation Mapping Project Geospatial_Data_Presentation_Form: vector digital data Publication_Information: Publication_Place: Fort Collins, Colorado Publisher: National Park Service, Water Resources Online_Linkage: http://biology.usgs.gov/npsveg/ftp/vegmapping/waba/wababdy.zip Description: Abstract: This dataset contains 340 National Park System unit boundaries. 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 parks are 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.

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.

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.
