This feature class merges land ownership/management feature classes from contributing agencies into a single feature class. Overlapping input feature classes are prioritized and lower priority features are replaced by higher priority features. It contains tracts that represent the owner with the majority of surface rights. Subsurface ownership is not represented. For the most part, when a land owner possesses the majority of surface rights, that land owner has fee simple rights to the land. By geodatabase definition, no geographic overlap is allowed for tracts that belong to the Alaska Wildland Fire Jurisdictions. The feature class does not necessarily show the most recent changes in jurisdiction. These data are provided by Bureau of Land Management (BLM) "as is" and may contain errors or omissions. The User assumes the entire risk associated with its use of these data and recognizes that this data will never be 100% QCed. |
