This data set contains boundary layers for the Wallkill River National Wildlife Refuge in New Jersey.
National Wildlife Refuges are federal lands managed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS). The primary source for boundary information is the USFWS Realty program (status maps, legal surveys). An effort by the USFWS Region 5 (northeast states -ME,NH,VT,
MA, RI, CT, NY, PA, NJ, MD, DE, WV, VA) Realty Division, Cartography and Spatial Data Services Branch has resulted in digital refuge boundaries for all refuges in the northeast at a scale of 1:24,000. In
1995, USFWS received approval to acquire up to 20,000 acres within the approved refuge boundary for Rappahannock River Valley National Wildlife Refuge. The majority of acquisition will occur in selected
areas of riverfront and along certain tributaries. These selected areas were outlined in the 1995 Environmental Assessment entitled,
"Proposal to Establish the Rappahannock River Valley National Wildlife
Refuge".
The purpose of this data is to serve as a spatial reference of refuge boundaries for other data layers in GIS and mapping applications. It is specifically not intended to be used as a land survey or representation of land for conveyance or tax purposes.
Survey file was imported to ArcInfo, boundaries were digitized and labeled. Updates to the file have included a tract by tract update in 2000 using survey files and the survey scale factor that needed to be
applied to rectify past position problems. Digital file was subsequently updated using survey and collateral data for newly acquired tracts, then stepped through 3 levels of quality-control review for spatial and thematic accuracy.
Refuge boundaries define areas that are approved by U.S. Congress for acquisition into the National Wildlife Refuge System, or are currently
owned by USFWS. Arcs are coded with an item "boundary" with the type of boundary line; polygons are coded with an item "status" that describes their ownership status.
