Frequently-anticipated questions:

What does this data set describe?

Title: NWForestPlan
Abstract:
Northwest Forest Plan (ROD April 13, 1994) Management Allocations for lands considered within the range of the Northern Spotted Owl. Derived from local forest Management Areas with overriding allocations. Includes plan ammendments through 2006.
Supplemental_Information:
There is considerable overlap between some designed areas. For consistency and acreage display purposes, such overlaps are displayed in only one category according to the following hierarchy: (1) Congressionally Reserved Areas, (2) Late-Successional Reserves, (3) Adaptive Management Areas, (4) Managed Late-Successional Areas, (5) Administratively Withdrawn Areas, (6) Riparian Reserves, and (7) Matrix.
On the Deschutes NF, there are Congressionally Reserved Areas (coded CWD), Late-Successional Reserves (LSR), Administratively Withdrawn Areas (AWD), and Matrix (MAT). Other Ownership is coded OOS.

  5. What is the general form of this data set?

    Geospatial_Data_Presentation_Form: vector digital data

  6. How does the data set represent geographic features?

    1. How are geographic features stored in the data set?

      This is a Vector data set. It contains the following vector data types (SDTS terminology):

      • G-polygon (0)
      • Label point (145)
      • GT-polygon composed of chains (145)
      • Point (4)

    2. What coordinate system is used to represent geographic features?

      The map projection used is Albers Conical Equal Area.

      Projection parameters:
      Standard_Parallel: 43.000000
      Standard_Parallel: 48.000000
      Longitude_of_Central_Meridian: -120.000000
      Latitude_of_Projection_Origin: 34.000000
      False_Easting: 600000.000000
      False_Northing: 0.000000

      Planar coordinates are encoded using coordinate pair
      Abscissae (x-coordinates) are specified to the nearest 0.000000
      Ordinates (y-coordinates) are specified to the nearest 0.000000
      Planar coordinates are specified in meters

      The horizontal datum used is North American Datum of 1983.
      The ellipsoid used is Geodetic Reference System 80.
      The semi-major axis of the ellipsoid used is 6378137.000000.
      The flattening of the ellipsoid used is 1/298.257222.
