Description: The TrailNFS_Publish Layer is designed to provide information about National Forest System trail locations and characteristics to the public. When fully realized, it will describe trail locations, basic characteristics of the trail, and where and when various trail uses are prohibited, allowed and encouraged. Because the data readiness varies between Forests, each Forest will approve which level of attribute subset are published for that forest. Forests can provide no information or one of three attribute subsets describing trails. The attribute subsets include TrailNFS_Centerline which includes the location and trail name and number; TrailNFS_Basic which adds information about basic trail characteristics; and TrailNFS_Mgmt which adds information about where and when users are prohibited, allowed, and encouraged. When a Forest chooses to provide the highest attribute subset, TrailNFS_Mgmt, these attributes must be consistent with the Forest's published Motorized Vehicle Use Map (MVUM).
Description: Existing Forest Service roads with attributes representing their characteristics. Each feature represents a segment of road where the attributes are the same. Attributes apply either to the entire road or to some measured distance along the road.

Description: The data describes the Wildlife Management features of Wildlife Management Areas. These areas are managed specifically with a management principle in mind.
Description: The Arkansas Natural Heritage Commission is a state agency within the Department of Arkansas Heritage. It holds fee title or restrictive conservation easements on lands in the state of Arkansas. These areas are referred to as “Natural Areas.” They were acquired by the agency because they protect an important aspect of the state’s natural diversity. Frequently, they provide habitat to rare, endangered, or threatened species, or are high quality examples of natural community types. The areas are managed to support these special features and are protected in perpetuity.Contact Information:Cindy Osborne, Data ManagerArkansas Natural Heritage Commission1500 Tower Building323 Center StreetLittle Rock, AR 72201Phone: 501-324-9762Fax: 501-324-9618e-mail: cindy@arkansasheritage.orgSource of Data:Deeds and survey documents.Mapping Information:Natural Area boundaries have been created as polygons in ArcGIS software.

This is the size of the Natural Area in acres.LatitudeLatitude of a point on the natural area. If the area does not have public access, no latitude coordinate is given.Longitude Longitude of a point on the natural area. If the area does not have public access, no longitude coordinate is givenCoorddesc Coordinate description. This provides a description of the point given by the latitude and longitude coordinates. Areas without public access may not have an assigned latitude/longitude coordinate. Points may represent the location of an entrance sign, parking area,or other location of interest. In some cases these points may fall outside of the natural area boundaries.

Description: This feature layer is a live filtered view of the TNC Lands Authoritative Geospatial Dataset WITH EDITING ENABLED. All TNC Lands data, both shareable and non-shareable data are included in this layer, for editing purposes. It should only be shared with TNC staff that are responsible for editing TNC Lands for their Business Unit. DO NOT SHARE THIS WITH OTHERS THAT DO NOT EDIT THE DATA.This TNC Lands spatial dataset represents the lands and waters in which The Nature Conservancy (TNC) currently has, or historically had, an interest, legal or otherwise in [BU]. The system of record for TNC Lands is the Legal Records Management (LRM) system, which is TNC’s database for all TNC land transactions. The TNC Lands Data Dictionary displays columns, domains, and LRM codes of the TNC Lands Base Layer. Find the Data Dictionary and learn more about TNC Lands on our Connect Page.The types of current land interests represented in the TNC Lands data include:

Description: The Forest Service has multiple types of boundaries represented by different feature classes (layers): Administrative, Ownership and Proclaimed. 1) ADMINISTRATIVE boundaries (e.g. AdministrativeForest and RangerDistrict feature classes) encompass National Forest System lands managed by an administrative unit. These are dynamic layers that should not be considered "legal" boundaries as they are simply intended to identify the specific organizational units that administer areas. As lands are acquired and disposed, the administrative boundaries are adjusted to expand or shrink accordingly. Please note that ranger districts are sub units of National Forests. An administrative forest boundary can contain one or more Proclaimed National Forests, National Grasslands, Purchase Units, Research and Experimental Areas, Land Utilization Projects and various "Other" Areas. If needed, OWNERSHIP boundaries (e.g. BasicOwnership and SurfaceOwnership feature classes) should be reviewed along with these datasets to determine parcels that are federally managed within the administrative boundaries. 2) OWNERSHIP boundaries (e.g. BasicOwnership and SurfaceOwnership feature classes) represent parcels that are tied to legal transactions of ownership. These are parcels of Federal land managed by the USDA Forest Service. Please note that the BasicOwnership layer is simply a dissolved version of the SurfaceOwnership layer. 3) PROCLAIMED boundaries (e.g. ProclaimedForest and ProclaimedForest_Grassland) encompass areas of National Forest System land that is set aside and reserved from public domain by executive order or proclamation. Please note that the ProclaimedForest layer contains only proclaimed forests while ProclaimedForest_Grassland layer contains both proclaimed forests and proclaimed grasslands. For boundaries that reflect current National Forest System lands managed by an administrative unit, see the ADMINISTRATIVE boundaries (AdministrativeForest and RangerDistrict feature classes). For a visual comparison of the different kinds of USFS boundary datasets maintained by the USFS, see the Forest Service Boundary Comparison map at https://usfs.maps.arcgis.com/apps/CompareAnalysis/index.html?appid=fe7b9f56217949a291356f08cfccb119. USFS boundaries are often referenced in national datasets maintained by other federal agencies. Please note that variations may be found between USFS data and other boundary datasets due to differing update frequencies. PAD-US (Protected Areas Database of the United States), maintained by the U.S. Geological Survey, is a "best available" inventory of protected areas including data provided by managing agencies and organizations including the Forest Service. For more information see https://gapanalysis.usgs.gov/padus/data/metadata/. SMA (Surface Management Agency), maintained by the Bureau of Land Management, depicts Federal land for the United States and classifies this land by its active Federal surface managing agency. It uses data provided by the Forest Service and other agencies, combined with National Regional Offices collection efforts. For more information see https://landscape.blm.gov/geoportal/catalog/search/resource/details.page?uuid=%7B2A8B8906-7711-4AF7-9510-C6C7FD991177%7D.
Description: An area depicting a privilege to pass over the land of another in some particular path; usually an easement over the land of another; a strip of land used in this way for railroad and highway purposes, for pipelines or pole lines and for private and public passage.
Description: A boundary of an area designation that comprises all or a portion of a National Wilderness in the National Wilderness Preservation System. Each area designation is characterized by a date, boundary status, and authority and may be just one of several designations that comprise a single National Wilderness.
