Wind Cave National Park 20030813 Map Badlands National Park, Hot Springs, SD US Department of Interior, National Park Service, Badlands National Park NA http://www1.usgs.gov/vip/badl/badlbdy.zip doi:10.5066/F7XK8CGQ This metadata is for use with the Badlands National Park Boundary shapefile (filename: badlands_park_boundary) produced as part of the vulnerability study contracted by Badlands National Park to the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology. This shapefile contains the boundary as seen by the National Park Service. As such, there may be conflicts with what is seen as the park's boundary by other agencies. The purpose of this data set is to support park decision making. It is not intended to be a legal description of features.

These data are believed to be logically consistent, though no tests were performed. The boundary is dependent on features delineated on USGS 7.5 minute Topographic Maps (converted into Digital Line Graph and Digital Raster Graphics, DLG and DRG, respectively) and professional survey data. Mapped features might change as the natural land changes or better maps and aerial photography become available. Unknown None Natl.

ESRI Sequential unique whole numbers that are automatically generated. Shape Feature geometry. ESRI. Coordinates defining the features. AREA Area of feature in internal units squared. ESRI. Area is always zero for point coverages. Values are automatically generated. PERIMETER Perimeter of feature in internal units. ESRI. Perimeter is always zero for point coverages. Values are automatically generated. PARKBDY_ Internal feature number. ESRI. Sequential unique whole numbers that are automatically generated. PARKBDY_ID User-defined feature number. ESRI. Sequential unique whole numbers that are automatically generated. ACRES Area (unknown units) ESRI Positive real numbers that are automatically generated. Three basic attributes are assigned to each park boundary: (1) a unique four character code; (2) a full park name; and (3) boundary source information. 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.
