USGS, Center for Biological Informatics National Park Service 20020207 vector digital data http://www1.usgs.gov/vip/deto/detogeodata.zip doi:10.5066/F7DZ0682 Devils Tower National Monument boundary. Derived from a dataset containing 342 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 in Latitude-Longitude (Clarke 1866-NAD27) decimal degrees. The ID_ field contains the unique 4 character park code identifying each park. The NAME1_ 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 (ESRI) ATLAS*GIS software and is currently maintained in this software. This version of the dataset was created using ESRI's ArcTools 8.0.2 Import to ShapeFile from .AGF file command, ShapeFile to Coverage command, and then Export to Interchange File. To obtain the most accurate, current boundary, users should contact the specific park. These digital park unit boundary should not be used for any legal boundary disputes. It is intended solely for use only in identifying the general location of Devils Tower National Monument. This dataset was compiled to assist the USGS-NPS Vegetation Mapping Program in determining the proximity of vegetation features to Devils Tower National Monument. The Shapefile was imported into a geodatabase by the National Park Service. 20010503 publication date of original dataset Complete Irregular Devils Tower National Monument - Black Hills, Wyoming, USA -104.730265 -104.699846 44.601306 44.578940 None National Park Boundaries Federal Lands Boundaries National Park Service National Parks Preserved Areas None National Park System U.S., US, U.S.A., USA, United States, United States of America Devils Tower National Monument Wyoming None This digital national park unit boundary should not be used for any legal boundary disputes.

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.

National Park Service, Water Resources Division 20010503 vector digital data Attribute accuracy was tested by manual comparison of the source with hard copy printouts. Attributes were further verified by visual inspection. Tests for logical consistency are performed by digitizing software (ArcGIS). Each park unit is comprised of one or more polygons. Dataset contains boundaries for only 1 of 375 park units. Park boundaries are generally the legislative boundary only. No attempt has been made to include or exclude inholdings within the designated boundary. Horizontal accuracy varies depending on the source of each boundary included in the National Park System Boundary Dataset. The source of the Devils Tower National Monument Boundary was: "RMRO Land Div. 1:6,000 1973 Land Status Map".

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 DETO boundary was extracted using the query, "ID_ = 'DETO'". This park boundary was then projected into GCS_North_American_1983 with Datum: D_North_American_1983. Then projected into utm to match the DETO vegetation dataset. 20020207 The Shapefile was imported into a geodatabase by the National Park Service. 201105 Metadata imported. 201105 Vector G-polygon 1 Universal Transverse Mercator 13 0.999600 -105.000000 0.000000 500000.000000 0.000000 coordinate pair 0.000100 0.000100 meters North American Datum of 1983 Geodetic Reference System 80 6378137.000000 298.257222 DETO_Park_Boundary Feature class attribute table National Park Service OBJECTID Internal feature number.
