Publication_Date: 200202 Title: Northeast Wyoming River Basins Plan Edition: First Edition Geospatial_Data_Presentation_Form: document Publication_Information: Publication_Place: Cheyenne, Wyoming Publisher: Wyoming Water Development Commission Other_Citation_Details: The Northeast Wyoming River Basins Plan was authorized by the 2000 Wyoming Legislature as part of the State Water Plan. The planning area is located in all or portions of Campbell, Crook, Weston, Niobrara, Converse, Natrona, and Goshen Counties, Wyoming. The planning area encompasses the Little Missouri, Belle Fourche, Cheyenne, and Niobrara River Basins. Online_Linkage: http://waterplan.state.wy.us/ Description: Abstract: This data contains land cover ownership and management information for the Northeast Wyoming River Basins Planning Area at 1:100,000-scale. Attribute fields describe land ownership, manager/administrator (if any), Gap Analysis management code (which denotes the relative degree of biodiversity maintenance for each tract of land), and additional land information such as U.S.F.S. National Forests and U.S.G.S. 1:100,000-scale quadrangles. Ownership designations reflect surface features only and do not include mineral or water rights. Though the ownership data was updated to 1994, updates should not be considered comprehensive and ownership may only be as current as the publication of the source maps. Purpose: This data was clipped from the statewide land ownership and management coverage specifically for use in the Northeast Wyoming River Basins Plan. The most up-to-date and complete coverage should be obtained directly from SDVC (http://www.sdvc.uwyo.edu/clearinghouse/). The primary purpose of this dataset was to provide a preliminary indication of the management of protection available to biodiversity elements analyzed by the Wyoming Gap Analysis (land cover types and terrestrial vertebrate species). Gap Analysis categorizes land into 4 different management codes which reflect different long-term commitments (or lack of commitment) to biodiversity protection. Land ownership and administration was used as a basis for mapping these management status categories, since they provide some indication of the kinds of activity that can occur on a given piece of land. The ownership information in this dataset is limited to general categories as mapped by the Bureau of Land Management Surface Land Status maps. Privately-owned land is treated as a homogeneous category, and individual owners are not differentiated unless there is information that indicated a permanent commitment to long-term biodiversity maintenance (such as land owned by The Nature Conservancy). This dataset was developed for the purpose of identifying opportunities for cooperative management of biodiversity elements, however it may also be used for a variety of other resource management applications. This dataset was included in the Northeast Wyoming River Basins Plan specifically to provide general land ownership status context for use in determining kinds of activities that can occur in a general area. However, the appropriate agencies should be contacted for detailed site-specific information. Time_Period_of_Content: Time_Period_Information: Single_Date/Time: Calendar_Date: 1994 Currentness_Reference: Publication date of sources, with partial updates to 1994 Status: Progress: Complete Maintenance_and_Update_Frequency: There are no current plans for updating the land ownership/administration, though National Gap has indicated a possible 10 year interval for updating the information.

Use_Constraints: This data was clipped specifically for use in the Northeast Wyoming River Basins Plan project. This dataset can be used appropriately for coarse-scale (> 1:100,000) applications, or to provide context for finer-level maps or applications. Appropriate uses include: 1) statewide planning; 2) regional and large area resource planning; and 3) education at all levels for both students and citizens. Inappropriate uses of this data include: 1) generating specific measurements from the data finer than the nearest thousand hectares; 2) establishing exact boundaries for regulation or acquisition; 3) establishing definite presence or absence of any element; 5) establishing a measure of accuracy of any other data by comparison with this dataset; 6) combining this data with any other data finer than 1:100,000-scale for analysis; 7) use of the data to map small areas (less than thousands of hectares) typically requiring mapping resolution at 1:24,000-scale and using aerial photographs or ground surveys; and 8) altering the data in anyway and redistributing it as a GAP product.

An informal verification was performed using two methods discussed below. In this process, the number of corrections was not quantified and no attempt was made to estimate the overall thematic accuracy. The informal verification of the ownership and administration attributes was performed using two methods: 1) Comparison of ownership/administrative boundaries and thematic information with original sources; and 2) Requesting informal map reviews from groups to which the data was distributed in its draft form. Ownership boundaries digitized by WY-GAP were checked systematically for correct land coding by overlaying 1:100,000-scale plots of digital data with the source maps. Similarly, thematic accuracy of administrative units was systematically checked by a visual comparison with source maps. In the informal review process, agencies were asked to make updates and check ownership polygons for errors. Twenty-three of the 56 1:100,000-scale quadrangles in the state were checked by BLM personnel in this review process, and changes resulting from this review (mostly updates) were incorporated into the final version. Logical_Consistency_Report: All polygons are closed and adjacent polygons do not have identical attributes. Each polygon has one and only one attribute. Completeness_Report: Land ownership is complete for the entire state according to the ownership classification used by the BLM surface management status maps. Public special managed areas (also called administrative units) are complete for the state except for some types of units (such as BLM Areas of Critical Environmental Concern and BLM and Forest Service Wilderness Study Areas) without mandated management plans or with pending official designation. Privately managed areas are not complete for the state because of the difficulty of collecting information about these areas and the lack of standardization of management policies. The only privately managed areas included at this time are Nature Conservancy preserves and ranches. Management status is complete for the state according to management plans and objectives existing at the time this version of the digital data was completed (1995). Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report: The Surface Management Status Maps from which the ownership was digitized have an accuracy of +/- 120 feet, according to USGS national mapping standards. Because some of the digitization was from folded or otherwise poor quality paper maps, there is 5-8% range of error associated with this data, translating to approximately +/- 300 feet.

Land ownership digitized by WY-GAP was edge-matched with polygons digitized by the BLM. In most case, there was a close match along the edges, requiring only minor shifts in lines. Larger discrepancies (usually the result of differences in scale of the data sources) were closed without an attempt to force a match.

Eleven different procedures were used to incorporate the managed area data. 1) Boundaries for the selected SMA were digitized directly from 1:100,000-scale Surface Management Status Maps published by the Bureau of Land Management. 2) Boundaries for the selected SMA were manually transferred from a 1:126,720-scale USFS Management Area Map to the corresponding 1:100,000-scale BLM Surface Management Status Map and digitized. 3) Boundaries for the selected SMA were digitized from a paper overlay that had been manually traced from a USFS 1:24000-scale stand management map. 4) Boundaries for the selected SMA were digitized directly from 1:24000-scale blue line reproductions of Wildlife Habitat Management Unit (WHMA) maps developed by the Wyoming Game and Fish Department in Cheyenne, Wyoming. 5) Boundaries for the selected SMA were derived from the 1:24000-scale blue line reproductions of Wildlife Habitat Management Area (WHMA) maps developed by the Wyoming Game and Fish Department in Cheyenne, Wyoming. The reproduced maps did not contain control points (points of known latitude-longitude) and could not be registered for digitizing. Also, the WHMA boundary was considered to be irregular or non-linear, such as boundaries following rivers. Transcribing irregular boundaries would have introduced considerable positional inaccuracies. Therefore, a data-capture method was developed which consisted of several steps. First, the WHMA boundary was digitized from the blue line map using digitizer units (inches). Second, the digitized boundary was converted to raster format. Third, the rasterized boundary was matched up with the corresponding area within the vector land status layer and points common to both the rasterized boundary and the land status layer were identified. Fourth, the COHNTROLPOINTS routine within ARC/INFO was used to link common points between the WHMA raster and the vector land status layer (note: the number of common points varied with WHMA - see blue line map for the number of control points used). Fifth, the WHMA raster was 'rubbersheeted' to fit the land status layer using the ARC/INFO GRIDWARP command. Sixth, the warped WHMA boundary was converted back into a vector format and incorporated into the land status layer using the ARC/INFO UNION command. Seventh, sliver polygons were removed. 6) Boundaries for the selected SMA were derived from 1:24000-scale blue line reproductions of Wildlife Habitat Management Unit (WHMA) maps developed by the Wyoming Game and Fish Department in Cheyenne, Wyoming. If the boundary of the SMA consisted of polygons already within the land status layer, then the SMA was not digitized from the 1:24000 scale blue line maps. Instead, the existing land status polygons were verified using the blue line maps to ensure correct boundary locations and attributed with the SMA code. The positional accuracy of the WHMA boundaries taken from the land status layers is recorded as FAIR. If the WHMA boundary was not already within the status layer and was linear in nature, then the WHMA boundary was transcribed onto the corresponding BLM map and digitized. WHMA boundaries done in this manner were adjusted to fit existing linework in the land status layer. The positional accuracy of the WHMA boundaries taken from the land status layer is recorded as POOR. 7) Boundaries for the selected SMA were manually transcribed from a small-scale map provided in the Resource Management Plan to the corresponding 1:100000-scale BLM Surface Management Status Maps and digitized. 8) Boundaries for the selected SMA were given to WY-GAP from the National Ecology Research Center (NERC). The SMA boundary was digitized at the NERC Office using 1:24000-scale base maps. 9) Boundaries for the selected SMA were digitized directly from a map sent by the resource manager that was not included in the resource management document. 10) Boundaries for the selected SMA were derived from a map sent by the resource manager that was not included in the resource management document. The SMA boundary was transcribed to the corresponding 1:100000-scale BLM Surface Management Status Map and digitized. 11) Boundaries for the selected SMA were derived from United States Public Land Survey (PLS) legal descriptions listed in the resource management document.

In general, status was assigned to an area based on its ownership and intended management, using the NM-GAP key. Because specific management objectives for many SMAs in the state were difficult to obtain and interpret, land managers and real estate specialists were contacted from a variety of state, federal and private agencies to review the management status assignments for land within their jurisdiction. Some individual SMAs had multiple management status codes assigned to them because the areas were composed of parcels or different ownership.

The ownership entity has two attributes: OWNER) ownershipship category status; and DISPLAY) an abbreviated ownership classification for display purposes. The management status entity has one attribute: MSTAT) four codes pertaining to how well the land is managed with regard to biodiversity. The special managed area entity has two related attributes: SMA1) Primary code for special managed area; and SMA2) where two special managed areas overlap, this identifies the secondary code of the overlapping area. When a code forthe attribute SMA2 exists (not zero), it means that the special managed area identified by the code overlaps another special managed area identified by the SMA1 code. The managing agency coded by SMA1 has primary jurisdiction (there are two instances: Wind River Indian Reservation (SMA2) with Wyoming Game and Fish Dept.'s Spence/Moriarity WHMA (SMA1), and the Bighorn National Recreation Area (SMA2) with Yellowtail WHMA (SMA1). Because all the area encompassed by the Reservation and the Bighorn Recreation Area are not coded for primary management, in to determine the correct areas for these units, selection for its code must be done at both the SMA1 and SMA2 attributing level. The quadrangle features have four attributes: QUAD) code for the 1:100000-scale quadrangles from which the ownership was digitized; QUADNAME) USGS name of the quadrangle; EDITION) date of the map edition; and MAPCOND) condition of the map used for digitization. The U.S. National Forest boundaries have two attributes: USGS) code identifying different National Forests; and USGSNAME: name of the National Forest.
