Description:
Abstract:
This data set contains the boundaries of all the National Parks and

Monuments falling within the state boundary for New Mexico as of

August 1994. The scale of the overall data set is unknown. The scale

of the original data set for each park, if known, is listed in the

ATLAS_S attribute and in the "Procedures_Used" narrative.

It was created by the U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park

Service, Water Resources Division, 1201 Oak Ridge drive, Suite 250,

Fort Collins, Colorado 80525.

Purpose:
This data set was created to locate park boundaries for the National Water

Quality Assessment Basin Park Analysis.

Supplemental_Information:
Procedures_Used:

The original data set covered 333 national park units throughout the

Untied States and its territories. The portion for New Mexico was

clipped out using the ARC/INFO clip command.

This data set was compiled from digital spatial data for individual

parks obtained from Park GIS divisions, the NPS Southwest Regional Office

Land Division, and USGS 7.5 minute topographic quadrangle maps. The sources

and scales are listed below.

Reviews_Applied_to_Data:

The Earth Data Analysis Center compared these data with another set

of national park data digitized at a scale of 1:500,000 from a mylar

original map. These data are more accurate in location and scale

than the 1:500,000 scale data.
