METADATA FOR SHAPEFILE: WRSTRALT

Revised: July 26, 2004

WRSTRALT is a point shapefile that shows locations of stream alteration activity.

The coordinate system is UTM zone 12. Locations in the coverage have been computed from information submitted with stream alteration applications. The location data is of varied quality including both map scaled and field surveyed information. The locations recorded in the database are actually offsets from a Public Land Survey Section Monument. They are converted to UTM coordinates using calculations against a database of PLS monuments originally extracted from a digitized 1:24000 RSPLS coverage. The monument database is updated with more precise coordinates as they become available including field GPS surveyed locations.

Items in the WRSTRALT table "WRSTRALT.DBF" are as follows:
