Title: Hiawatha National Forest Ownership
Description:
Abstract: Forest Service ownership. In the future, this coverage may be combined into the surface ownership layer to meet national core data standards.
Purpose: This layer is a representation of current ownership. It was not created with the same level of accuracy as ALP, it is NOT a status atlas.
Supplemental Information: The data for this coverage was derived from the 1:24,000 1989 CFFs (Cartographic Feature Files). The forest boundry was selected using cff code 83.

Horizontal Positional Accuracy:
Horizontal Positional Accuracy Report:
CFFs meet National Map Accuracy Standards which require that 90 percent of all well-defined features be shown on the map within .02 inches of their true location. At the PBS scale of 1:24,000 this represents 40 feet on the ground.
