Golden Spike National Historic Site, National Park Service, Intermountain Region GIS Program 2004 vector digital data A polygon file showing the 1981 authorized boundary at Golden Spike National Historic Site. Information for the park boundary comes from the distributed National Park Service boundary file created by Brenden E. McNeil. To illustrate the 1981 authorized boundary of Golden Spike National Historic Site. The intended use of all data in the park's GIS library is to support diverse park activities including planning, management, maintenance, research, and interpretation. Golden Spike National Historic Site was created "for the purpose of establishing a national historic site commemorating the completion of the first transcontinental railroad across the United States..." Some 690 miles east of Sacramento and 1,087 miles west of Omaha, Golden Spike lies in the northern reaches of the Great Basin Desert and ranges from 4,300 to 4,900 feet above sea level. Located at the site of the driving of the last spike of the first transcontinental railroad on May 10, 1869, its paramount purpose is to illustrate the social, economic, and political impacts of the transcontinental railroad on the growth and westward development of the United States. Golden Spike was designated as a national historic site in nonfederal ownership on April 2, 1957, and authorized for federal ownership and administration by an act of Congress on July 30, 1965. 198103 ground condition Complete As needed -112.640868 -112.442924 41.675124 41.557611 authorized boundary, boundary, railroad, transcontinental railroad, 1981 Golden Spike National Historic Site, GOSP, National Park Service, NPS, United States, US, USA, North America, Utah, Box Elder County, Golden Spike Monument National Park System Unit Code ThesaurusGOSP National Park System Unit Name ThesaurusGolden Spike National Historic Site National Park Service Theme Category ThesaurusBoundaryGeneral ManagementLand Status / Ownership ISO 19115 Topic CategoryEnvironmentLocation None.

GIS personnel verified all features and attributes. There are no duplicate features present. Polygon features begin and end at the same point. The data includes all known boundaries that define Golden Spike N.H.S. The horizontal accuracy for the boundary is unknown. National Park Service- Division of Land Acquisition 19810306 map Denver, Colorado Denver Service Center Original date on blueprints is March 1981. No revisions have been made since. There are 3 blueprints that contain information about the boundary at Golden Spike. The first is a general overview of the area (Drawing number 431 92,002). The other two show greater detail surrounding the area of the spike site and the northern end of the park (Drawing number 431 92,003).
