Description:

This dataset contains National Forest boundaries for the lower 48 states, including Puerto Rico. Alaska is maintained separately. This dataset includes administrative unit boundaries, derived primarily from the GSTC SOC data system, comprised of Cartographic Feature Files (CFFs), using ESRI Spatial Data Engine (SDE) and an Oracle database. The ata that was available in SOC was extracted on November 10, 1999. Some of the data that had been entered into SOC as outdated, and some national forest boundaries had never been entered for a variety of reasons. GSTC has edited his data in places where it was questionable or missing, to match the National Forest Inventoried Roadless Area data submitted for the President's Roadless Area Initiative.
