National Park Service 2009 vector digital data http://www1.usgs.gov/vip/foun/foungeodata.zip doi:10.5066/F7Q52MKP National Park or National Monument boundary used to delineate project area. To assist with the development of vegetation maps for the National Park Service. Boundary data were downloaded by the Colorado Natural Heritage Program/Colorado State University on 11/23/2009 from http://nrdata.nps.gov/programs/Lands/foun_tracts.zip and imported to the file geodatabase. 2007 publication date Complete None planned Fort Union National Monument -105.037859 -104.999902 35.917235 35.897465 None National Park Boundary National Monument Boundary It is strongly recommended that these data are directly acquired from U.S. Geological Survey and National Park Service servers and not indirectly through other sources which may have changed the data in some way.

Microsoft Windows Vista Version 6.0 (Build 6002) Service Pack 2; ESRI ArcCatalog 9.3.1.1850 Link and node polygon topology is created using AutoDesk Land Desktop 2006. The data is then exported to ESRI shape file format and reprojected from it's native Autodesk coordinate system to NAD83 generic latitude and longitude, LL83. The data set is complete but subject to continual updates to reflect boundary amendments, legislation, and acquisitions, and improved processing techniques. Information contained in LRD's land ownership databases is updated nightly however tract polygons are posted to the NPS Data Store on a monthly basis. Users can ensure parcel polygons have up to date ownership attribution after the publication date by contacting your regional LRD office or downloading the Current_Tract_Ownership_Data file located on the NPS Data Store (https://irma.nps.gov/App/Reference/Search) in a dBase format. Please contact the data originator with any suggested corrections and updates. LRD's boundary polygons represent the current legislated boundary of a given NPS unit. NPS does not necessarily have full fee ownership or hold another interest (easement, right of way, etc.) in all parcels contained within this boundary. Equivalently NPS may own or have an interest in parcels outside the legislated boundary of a given unit. In order to obtain complete information about current NPS interests both inside and outside the units legislated boundary, LRD's tracts files should also be downloaded and used in conjunction with LRD's boundary files. This data set was created from deed descriptions and US Geological Survey Digital Orthophoto Quarter Quadrangle (DOQQ). The entire data set should be considered no more accurate than the DOQQ. All boundary and tract linework was COGO'd from the description in Fort Union National Monument deed 1. The linework was georeferenced using a USGS Digital Orthophoto Quarter Quadrangle. The source coordinate system used in Autodesk Land Desktop is North American Datum 1983, New Mexico State Plane, East zone, US foot. The Autodesk line work is imported, edited, attributed, approved, and a link and node topology is developed both for the tract and boundary data layers according to the procedures described in the Land Acquisition Procedures Manual Chapter 5. The entire unit is created in a geographically contiguous model space and separate layouts representing each individual segment map are created. The tract and boundary data is then reprojected to North American Datum 1983 generic latitude & longitude and exported from Autodesk to an ArcView shape file format in a single step. 1954-2007 Vector G-polygon 2 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 FOUN_Park_Boundary Feature class attribute table National Park Service OBJECTID Internal feature number.
