Land status in Alaska, 2018

This dataset contains several shapefiles related to land management and ownership in Alaska. These datasets attempt to summarize and convey major landholding entities amongst the 13 regions within the State of Alaska's Salmon and People Project (SASAP). These shapefiles contain information across four major land management domains in Alaska: federal, state, private, and native. Federal lands are attributed to distinguish between Bureau of Land Management (BLM), Major Military, National Forest Service, National Park Service, National Wildlife Refuge, and Steese Conservation Area lands. State lands are attributed to distinguish between general state lands, state parks, and state game refuges. Native lands are attributed to distinguish between Village Corporation lands, Regional Corporation lands, other native lands, and the Annette Island Indian Reservation. See methods for information on original data sources and processing steps. Also included in this dataset are 13 regional maps showing land status, and the R script used to generate those maps (Land_ownership.Rmd). These data should not be used for survey or navigation purposes.
