The FS Common Names dataset satisfies a business need to be fed into ArcGIS Online and the Interactive Visitor Map (IVM) application. Specifically for display in the IVM, the forests and grasslands are displayed with their specific (common) names instead of being lumped together. For example, the National Forests in Texas display as Sam Houston National Forest, Davy Crockett National Forest, Angelina National Forest, Sabine National Forest, Caddo National Grassland and Lyndon B. Johnson National Grassland instead of all being represented as just 'National Forests in Texas'. In addition, any web map or web application created in the USFS ArcGIS Online organizational account will have the ability to pull in the FS Common Names Layer by referencing map services containing this data. Labels and queries will show the common name for each forest and grassland. The data will also be made available to USFS partners to assist with consistent outward communication. The data will used in various other Agency map products. New custom digital applications or hard copy maps may use the common names layer to display the common names recognized by the public or in the way the agency wants to depict them to the public. |

<DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><DIV><P><SPAN>Basic Description: The FSCommonNames dataset contains the common names of the national forests and grasslands and their respective FS WWW URL information that is used for both display of the national forest and national grassland boundaries on any map product and for dynamic interactivity of the map. This published dataset consists of one polygon feature class. There is also a generalized version of this dataset called FSCommonNames_Gen. Detailed Description: This dataset exhibits the following characteristics: 1. Granularity of the polygon features: The spatial extent of the national forests and the grasslands match the way the agency would like to communicate with the public. 2. Preferred /Common Name of the National Forest Units: The common names of the national forest and grassland match the preferred name column that is present in the common names decision table maintained by the Office of Communication. 3. Hyperlinks to FS WWW Home page: This column contains the national forest and their respective FS WWW URL information. This URL could be used on any interactive map applications to link users directly to a forests home page.</SPAN></P></DIV></DIV></DIV> |
