Citation_Information Originator: U.S. Forest Service. 1967. Publication_Date: 1970 Title: Major Forest Types from the NATIONAL ATLAS OF THE U.S., 1970, pp. 154-155 Scale_Denominator: 7,500,000Description Abstract : This is a polygon coverage of major forest types in the conterminous United States. The coverage was generated by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. The source of the coverage is the map of major forest types in the National Atlas, pages 154-155, which was compiled from information furnished by the U.S. Forest Service, 1967. Descriptors: Major Forest Types United States Purpose: Intended use of data The primary use of this data will be for regional and national data display rather than specific local data analysis due to the small scale (1:7,500,000) fo this coverage. Limitations_of_Data: The scale of the data (1:7,500,000) limits its use to broad overviews of major forest types. Entity_and_Attribute_Overview: The coverage contains two polygon attributes, CODE and FOREST_TYPE. CODE represents the numerical value for a forest type. 1 = White-Red-Jack Pine 2 = Spruce-Fir 3 = Longleaf-Slash Pine 4 = Lobolly-Shortleaf Pine 5 = Oak-Pine 6 = Oak-Hickory 7 = Oak-Gum-Cypress 8 = Elm-Ash-Cottonwood 9 = Maple-Beech-Birch 10 = Aspen-Birch 11 = Douglas-Fir 12 = Hemlock-Sitka Spruce 13 = Redwood 14 = Ponderosa Pine 15 = White Pine 16 = Lodgepole Pine 17 = Larch 18 = Fir-Spruce 19 = Hardwoods 20 = Ohia 21 = Chaparral 99 = Nonforest - Land that has never supported forests and land formerly forested which is now developed for other uses FOREST_TYPE contains the forest type (listed above) for a particular polygon.

A mylar plot of the forest boundaries (scale 1:7,500,000) was photographically enlarged on mylar (1:3,750,000). Lines were added where there were gaps (lakes) using the original color map from the National Atlas as a guide. The map was digitized on ARC/INFO using a weedtolerance of 50 and RMS error less than -.003. The coverage was cleaned using a dangle length of 10,000 meters and fuzzy tolerance of 50. Labels were then added. NAWQA - National Synthesis obtained the coverage in an exported format. The coverage is in Albers Equal-Area Projection with the following parameters: First parallel 29 30 00 N Second parallel 45 30 00 N Central meridian -96 00 00 W Latitude of projection origin 23 00 00 N False easting 0.0 False northing 0.0 Revisions: 1.1 1/22/92 - Attribute update to PAT. (FOREST_TYPE) Reviews_Applied_to_Data: This coverage has not received any formal review. Related_Spatial_and_Tabular_Data_Sets: At this time, there are no related data sets.

Notes: This coverage EXCLUDES the forest type, Ohia, since Ohia only occurs in Hawaii. Because of this exclusion, the numerical codes of the major forest types in the National Atlas are not identical to that found in the coverage. Specifically, In the National Atlas: In the Polygon Attribute Table: 20 = Ohia 20 = Chaparral 21 = Chaparral 21 = Pinyon-juniper 22 = Pinyon-juniper Currentness_Reference: Maintenance_and_Update_Frequency: Access_Constraints: Data_Set_Credit: Completeness_Report: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report: Vertical_Positional_Accuracy_Report: Cloud_Cover: Abstract Purpose Supplemental_Information Procedures_Used Revisions Reviews_Applied Related_Spatial_and_Tabular_Data_Sets Other_References_Cited Notes Time_Period_of_Content Currentness_Reference Status Progress: Has not been reviewed Maintenance_and_Update_Frequency Spatial_Domain Bounding_Coordinates West_Bounding_Coordinate: East_Bounding_Coordinate: North_Bounding_Coordinate: South_Bounding_Coordinate:
