GRSM MONUMENTS

This is a vector point dataset that represents survey monument features within Great Smoky Mountains National Park. It provides useful information for park staff and who are working on construction projects or boundary management activities. It also provides useful information for the public, such as boundary monument location information for state-licensed surveyors working on property surveys adjoining NPS lands. The NPS Monuments layer was initially created on 08/06/2010 using ArcMap 9.3 by generating point features from coordinate pairs provided by Denver Service Center (DSC) survey project deliverable files. Scanned monument record sheets or survey plats are hyperlinked to each point feature. Detailed attributes include point source, coordinate values, expected accuracies and date/time information. The NGS Monuments layer is a subset of the National Geodetic Survey monuments layer. The Boundary Markers layer is managed and maintained by the Great Smoky Mountains National Park Land Surveyor. The goal of this dataset is to provide survey information to help reduce redundancies and costs for construction projects, boundary surveys and boundary management. The corresponding Integration of Resource Management Applications (IRMA) NPS Data Store reference is Great Smoky Mountains National Park Monuments.
