Antietam National Battlefield Tract and Boundary Data
Dataset Identification:
Resource Abstract:
These ESRI shape files are of National Park Service tract and boundary data that was created by the Land Resources Division.
Tracts are numbered and created by the regional cartographic staff at the Land Resources Program Centers and are associated
to the Land Status Maps. This data should be used to display properties that NPS owns and properties that NPS may have some
type of interest such as scenic easements or right of ways.

purpose:
This data is intended to keep a record of ownership information. Tracts can represent several types of interest like fee and
scenic easement, and can be under several types of ownership like NPS owned, private, other federal, state or county. This
data set provides accurate and reliable ownership data for park management and acquisition priorities.

Use limitation statement:
Property ownership data is compiled from deeds, plats, surveys, and other source data. These are not engineering quality drawings
and should be used for administrative purposes only. The National Park Service shall not be held liable for improper or incorrect
use of the data described and/or contained herein. These data and related graphics are not legal documents and are not intended
to be used as such. The information contained in these data is dynamic and may change over time. The data are not better than
the original sources from which they were derived. It is the responsibility of the data user to use the data appropriately
and consistent within the limitations of geospatial data in general and these data in particular. The related graphics are
intended to aid the data user in acquiring relevant data; it is not appropriate to use the related graphics as data. The National
Park Service gives no warranty, expressed or implied, as to the accuracy, reliability, or completeness of these data. It is
strongly recommended that these data are directly acquired from an NPS server and not indirectly through other sources which
may have changed the data in some way. Although these data have been processed successfully on a computer system at the National
Park Service, no warranty expressed or implied is made regarding the utility of the data on another system or for general
or scientific purposes, nor shall the act of distribution constitute any such warranty. This disclaimer applies both to individual
use of the data and aggregate use with other data.

Use Constraints: NPS Director's Order #25 states: "Land status maps will be prepared to identify the ownership of the lands
within the authorized boundaries of the park unit. These maps, showing ownership and acreage, are the 'official record' of
the acreage of Federal and non-federal lands within the park boundaries. While these maps are the official record of the lands
and acreage within the unit's authorized boundaries, they are not of survey quality and not intended to be used for survey
purposes." As such this data is intended for use as a tool for GIS analysis. It is in no way intended for engineering or legal
purposes. The data accuracy is checked against best available sources which may be dated and vary by location. NPS assumes
no liability for use of this data. This data was developed from a base cartographic source data set, digitizing NPS segment
maps. Where available this data set has been validated against parcel descriptions found in the deeds used to acquire the
NPS owned portions of this property. Other areas have been validated using only digital imagery provided by the county. The
Boundary polygons LRD creates represent the current legislated boundary of a given NPS unit. NPS does not necessarily have
full fee ownership or hold other interest (easement, right of way, etc.) in all parcels contained within this boundary. Equivalently
NPS may own or have an interest in parcels outside the legislated boundary of a given unit. In order to obtain complete information
about current NPS interests both inside and outside the unit's legislated boundary, the tracts file created by LRD should
be used in conjunction with this boundary file created by LRD.

evaluation Method Description
Parts of this data set have been validated against survey quality data while other portions were developed using cartographic
data as the primary source. The entire data set was verified against USGS DOQ data and as a result should only be considered
as accurate as United States National Map Accuracy Standards.

Completeness Commission
evaluation Method Description
The data set is complete but subject to continual updates to reflect boundary amendments, legislation, and acquisitions, and
improved processing techniques. Information contained in LRD's land ownership databases is updated nightly however tract polygons
are posted to the NPS Data Store on a monthly basis. Users can ensure parcel polygons have up to date ownership attribution
after the publication date by contacting your regional LRD office or downloading the Current_Tract_Ownership_Data file located
on the NPS Data Store (http://science.nature.nps.gov/nrdata/) in a dBase format. Please contact the data originator with any
suggested corrections and updates. LRD's boundary polygons represent the current legislated boundary of a given NPS unit.
NPS does not necessarily have full fee ownership or hold another interest (easement, right of way, etc.) in all parcels contained
within this boundary. Equivalently NPS may own or have an interest in parcels outside the legislated boundary of a given unit.
In order to obtain complete information about current NPS interests both inside and outside the units legislated boundary,
LRD's tracts files should also be downloaded and used in conjunction with LRD's boundary files.

measure Description
Link and node polygon topology is created using AutoDesk Land Desktop 2006. The data is then exported to ESRI shape file format
and reprojected from it's native Autodesk coordinate system to NAD83 generic latitude and longitude, LL83.
notes: This metadata was automatically generated from the FGDC Content Standards for Digital Geospatial Metadata standard (version
FGDC-STD-001-1998) using the 2012-06-20T17:21:00 version of the FGDC RSE to ISO 19115-2 transform.
