and Fish Dept. This data was scanned from BLM 1:100k surface
ownership maps and merged into a statewide coverage.

Surface Ownership, State Park, New Mexico GAme and Fish Dept.
data (1:500K).
Intended use of data
This data was collected originally to produce the 1:500K surface
ownership map of New Mexico. This map was published 12/94 and
is available ($8.00) at any BLM office.
(these plates are used to produce the 1:100k color land status
maps) 586 plates were scanned, edited with LT4X (a raster data
editing pkg and converted to the Map Overlay Statistical System
(MOSS). In MOSS the individual files were merged into statewide
coverages, generalized by dissolving polygons of less than 158
acres, then used to produce the plates for the 1:500K NM
Surface Ownership Map. The individual coverages were then
converted to ARC, re-verified for completeness and checked for
locational accuracy.
Revision, version 2.96, revision 1.
Review of this data included the inspection of the LOG file for
completeness and conformance to the steps described in this
narrative including, verification of polygon identities,
validity of polygon locations checked against the reference
data sets and other owners coverages and an exhaustive inspec-
tion of the map plates that were produced with the data.
Related spatial data sets include the other Surface Ownership
coverages and generalized coverage of the Public Land Survey
System.

scanned data has been generalized by eliminating polygons of less
than 158 acres.
