Frequently-anticipated questions:

What does this data set describe?

Title: Plans - Land Management Planning Designations
Abstract:
This is the planning coverage for the Forest. It is a regions coverage with three subclasses: MA, NFP, OWN. This layer was created by combining and editing the MA and OPT9MANEW (option 9 of the Northwest Forest Plan) coverages. Boundaries of MAs have been updated.
Supplemental_Information:
This layer should be updated only when there are changes in Forest ownership, changes in Management areas (usually due to a Plan revision or amendment), or changes in the Northwest Forest Plan allocations. All changes must be approved by Strategic Planning and Analysis. Land status boundaries are accurate, but some management area and NFP plan allocations were crudely delineated to begin with.

  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):

      • Complete chain (1396)
      • Label point (600)
      • GT-polygon composed of chains (596)
      • Point (702)
      • Composite object (46)
      • Composite object (16)
      • Composite object (1)

    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.
