<DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><DIV><P><SPAN>Alaska Wildland Fire Jurisdictions is a spatial dataset produced by the Bureau of Land Management-Division of Support Services and the Alaska Fire Service. It provides land ownership information for initial fire management decisions. Alaska Computer-aided dispatch (CAD) systems use the dataset to determine the default ownership and jurisdiction for a location. This feature class merges land ownership/management feature classes from contributing entities (publicly available borough, municipality, state, federal, and other entity management and ownership GIS data) 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 landowner has fee simple rights to the land. Alaska Wildland Fire Jurisdictions is not an authoritative source for land status information and does not necessarily show the most recent changes in jurisdiction.</SPAN></P></DIV></DIV></DIV>

Due to the nature of assembling geospatial information from multiple sources, integration of features into a single layer may introduce inaccurate artifacts. Acquired datasets have been cross-walked to a standardized schema to aid in the depiction of land surface manager across the state of Alaska. This dataset will contain errors. For the most up to date and accurate information, please contact the surface manager agency for the area in which you are interested.

All input layers have been clipped to the extent of a statewide coastline layer.
Statewide coverage using best available data. Source input layers have been acquired from multiple local, state, and federal agencies on varying dates. The output is only as good as the input layers. The process to convert each acquired layer to match a standardized data schema may result in generalized and/or inaccurate information in the final product.
Attributes are populated through an automated process by cross-walking acquired source data to a standardized data schema.
The horizontal accuracy is contingent upon the quality of the various input layers.
ArcGIS models are used to prepare all input source layers that comprise this dataset. Data updated on an annual basis and reflect the best available information at the time.
