Included are boundaries for the whole park and management units and wilderness areas within Mesa Verde National Park. These data (mevebdy.zip) were derived from a coverage developed by staff of Mesa Verde National Park to support Park operations and management. The derived shapefile was used to support the vegetation mapping project conducted at Mesa Verde National Park. 20060830 publication date Complete As needed Mesa Verde National Park and environs -108.558671 -108.335073 37.353055 37.152148 National Park Service Theme Category Thesaurus Boundary ISO 19115 Topic Category boundaries None park boundary boundary wilderness land management land use None Mesa Verde National Park Mesa Verde MEVE Cortez Durango Montezuma County Colorado Four Corners National Park Service NPS United States US USA North America National Park System Unit Code Thesaurus MEVE National Park System Unit Name Thesaurus Mesa Verde National Park None None Mesa Verde National Park GIS Coordinator GIS Coordinator mailing address

ARC/INFO software is used to create and maintain topological relationships between features. There are no duplicate features, but coincident features are maintained within the coverage. Polygonal features begin and end at the same point and contain a single label. Linear features are continuous where appropriate, i.e., dangling arcs are removed if they are not required. These data depict the boundary of Mesa Verde National Park authorized by Congress as of 1963. Also included in these data are the lands the National Park Service owns and manages that are within and outside the authorized boundary as of 1978 and the Mesa Verde Wilderness designated by Congress in 1976. These boundaries are organized as separate region subclasses and no changes to these boundaries have occurred. Horizontal positional accuracy is tested by visual comparison of the source with hard copy plots. In addition, these data were verified on-screen relative to other reference GIS layers in the Mesa Verde National Park GIS. Premier Data Services 20030918 vector digital data Englewood, Colorado Premier Data Services The merged GCDB provides Mesa Verde National Park with continuous cadastre data that would most accurately portray the locations of Public Land Survey System (PLSS) corners and provide a framework to assemble PLSS referenced information. The GCDB is based on the best and most current survey records available and known geographic positions of control stations within the PLSS network. <http://www.premierdata.com> 24000 disc 20030918 publication date MVGCDB public land survey system spatial and attribute information Premier Data Services 20030918 vector digital data Englewood, Colorado Premier Data Services This data set is a quarter, quarter, quarter, quarter (QQQQ) or ideally a two and a half acre subdivision layer derived from original Colorado GCDB data for 118 townships in the Mesa Verde Project area. <http://www.premierdata.com> 24000 disc 20030918 publication date MVQQQQ PLSS quarter, quarter, quarter, quarter section spatial and attribute information Mesa Verde National Park 20020401 vector digital data Six appended 7.5 minute quadrangles of hypsography Digital Line Graphs produced by the U.S. Geological Survey. 24000 disc 20020401 publication date MVHYPSO elevation or altitude spatial and attribute information Mesa Verde National Park Unpublished Material vector digital data The appended Mancos, CO and Trail Canyon, CO 7.5 minute quadrangles of boundary Digital Line Graphs produced by the U.S. Geological Survey. 24000 disc 19730101 19750101 publication date MVRBNDY elevation or altitude spatial and attribute information Mesa Verde National Park 19761201 legal descriptions Washington, D.C.

The process used by the Park in creating the original coverage is described here. The GCDB data and the QQQQ data were used to interactively select the QQQQ lines that make the park boundary based on the legal descriptions derived from the legislation, wilderness memorandum and the land status map. These lines were put into the riparian boundary data using ARCEDIT. The resulting data was edited in ARCEDIT and topology constructed using ARC/INFO. MVGCDB MVQQQQ MVRBNDY MVWILD MVBNDYLEG MVLSMAP 20030925 MVBNDY1 Using the legal descriptions for the wilderness memorandum the isopleths used as boundaries for the wilderness were interactively selected from the hypsography data and put into the boundary data derived from the QQQQ data and riparian boundary data using ARCEDIT. The resulting data was edited in ARCEDIT and topology constructed using ARC/INFO. MVHYPSO MVBNDY1 20030926 MVBNDY2 The resulting polygons were edited, labeled, and attributed in ARCEDIT. Topology was created and the polygon data was processed to create three region subclasses, BNDY that depicts the boundary authorized by Congress, MANAGE that represent the lands managed by the National Park Service within and outside the authorized boundary, and WILD that represents the wilderness designated in the park by Congress, using ARC/INFO. Attributes were added to each region subclass attribute tables using ARCEDIT. Topology was recreated and a spatial index was created for the data using ARC/INFO.
