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

      Indirect_Spatial_Reference: Umpqua National Forest
      This is a Vector data set. It contains the following vector data types (SDTS terminology):
      • Complete chain (124844)
      • Label point (53616)
      • GT-polygon composed of chains (54650)
      • Point (336)
      • Composite object (13114)

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

      The map projection used is Albers Conical Equal Area.
