The primary source for boundary information is the USFWS Realty program (status maps, legal surveys). An effort by the USFWS Region 5 (northeast states - ME, NH,VT, MA, RI, CT, NY, PA, NJ, MD, DE, WV, VA) Realty Division, Cartography and Spatial Data Services Branch has resulted in digital refuge boundaries for all refuges in the northeast at a scale of 1:24,000. Purpose: The intended application of the data is to serve as a spatial reference of refuge boundaries for other data layers in GIS and mapping applications. It is specifically not intended to be used as a land survey or representation of land for conveyance or tax purposes. For Survey data, please contact USFWS, Region 5, Realty Office, Surveys Branch.

Three levels of quality-control review are conducted (Cartography and Spatial Data Services, Realty Management Branch, Refuge Staff) with corrections being incorporated after each review until the dataset is deemed error-free. See "Service Lands Boundary Data Standard Operating Procedure". Logical_Consistency_Report: All polygons are closed and adjusted to the most accurate geographic features, usually on a USGS 7.5' topographic quad. All dangling arcs, undershoots, and overshoots have been removed. Completeness_Report: All boundaries were digitized for exterior fee-titled, USFWS owned lands, acquired tracts, and areas approved for USFWS acquisition. Plots are generated and quality-control reviewed for omission and commission digitizing errors. Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report: Digital refuge boundaries are verified against USGS 1:24,000-scale,7.5' DLG, DRG, or 1:12,000-scale DOQQ data such as roads, hydrography, or plotted at 1:24,000 scale and overlayed on USGS 7.5' maps. Data are stored in ArcInfo double precision.

Arcs are coded with an item "boundary"with the type of boundary line; polygons are coded with an item "status" that describes their ownership status. See "Service Lands Boundary Data SOP."
