### What does this data set describe?

Title: Idaho Panhandle National Forests - Ownership
Abstract:
  This coverage depicts ownership WITHIN the National Forest boundary and Forest Service land outside the boundary. Attributes for individual owners within the boundary are listed. Another attribute lists just Forest Service versus non-Forest Service ownership and a third attribute lists what proclaimed National Forest the ownership lies in.

1. How should this data set be cited?

   > Idaho Panhandle NFs - GIS, 4/14/2006, Idaho Panhandle National Forests - Ownership: Idaho Panhandle National Forests - GIS, Coeur d'Alene, Idaho.

6. How does the data set represent geographic features?

   1. How are geographic features stored in the data set?

      This is a Vector data set. It contains the following vector data types (SDTS terminology):

      - G-polygon (1233)
      - Label point (1233)
      - GT-polygon composed of chains (1233)
      - Point (4)

   2. What coordinate system is used to represent geographic features?

      Grid_Coordinate_System_Name: Universal Transverse Mercator
      Universal_Transverse_Mercator:
        UTM_Zone_Number: 11
        Transverse_Mercator:

          False_Easting: 500000.000000
          False_Northing: 0.000000

      Planar coordinates are encoded using coordinate pair
      Abscissae (x-coordinates) are specified to the nearest 0.000512
      Ordinates (y-coordinates) are specified to the nearest 0.000512
      Planar coordinates are specified in meters

      The horizontal datum used is North American Datum of 1927.
      The ellipsoid used is Clarke 1866.
      The semi-major axis of the ellipsoid used is 6378206.400000.
      The flattening of the ellipsoid used is 1/294.978698.
