NPS Midwest Field Area 19991101 map Madison WI NPS Midwest Field Area TAPRBSNP is an ARC/INFO polygon coverage of the proposed bison staging/pasture area. Derived from the wire fence layer (TAPRWFNL) that was prepared from GPS coordinates. The intended use of all data in a park`s GIS library is to support diverse park activities including planning, management, maintenance, research, and interpretation. This particular data set will facilitate plannning related to future introduction of bison to the park. 19970825 19990403 ground condition In work Unknown -96.598391 -96.556641 38.450043 38.426392 -96.5989,38.4266,-96.5981,38.4504,-96.5557,38.4495,-96.5565,38.4257,-96.5989,38.4266 None bison infrastructure wildlife management None Tallgrass Prairie National Preserve Flint Hills Chase County Kansas National Park System Unit Code ThesaurusTAPR National Park System Unit Name ThesaurusTallgrass Prairie National Preserve National Park Service Theme Category ThesaurusGeneral Management ISO 19115 Topic CategoryPlanning Cadastre None Not for use at scales greater than 1:12000.

This procedure enhances attribute accuracy by reducing attribute related decision-making in the field and minimizing keying errors. Coverage features were compared with the park boundary as a cursory test of locational accuracy. Further feature verification will occur as the data is used. Data set includes all GPS derived feature locations collected to date (11/01/99). The source layer (TAPRWFNL) was constructed from GPS point locations along the path of wire fences in the park. Typical point feature locations are based on 15 readings with an expected accuracy of 1-2 meters (Trimble ProXL).
