The data was developed to fill a need for an internal and external spatial representation of the linear structural improvements used in the management of the Rangeland resource. The data will be used to create permit maps in addition to field working maps and any other logical uses that the internal and external public may determine this information is helpful to.

Data stewards have been relied on to validate the data quality and accuracy of the linear structural improvements used in the management of the rangeland resource. Fences, Stock Driftway/Feedways and Distribution Pipelines have been identified using various methods through the years like GPS or digitizing. Spatial data comes from the district and is consolidated at the forest level. This will be a consolidated national extent of the data entered at the lowest level of the agency. Data quality is dependent on quality data maintenance by local data stewards.
This data is current only as of the date of publication and may change daily. The need for a daily refresh is key to incorporate any and all local changes as they are made and keep the data in EDW fresh.
Positional accuracy is veryified by visual comparison to source datasets
Data is the result of a national data call where local units were asked to identify and provide spatial and tabular data to represent linear structural improvements like fences and pipelines. Local units are to follow the current GIS Data Dictionaries and load their local data into the appropriate SDE to be collected and merged into a national extent.
