| Abstract | This is the complete GAP Stewardship database containing land ownership information for the entire state of Minnesota. These lands are managed for a variety of economic, environmental, and recreational uses. Attribute fields describe ownership, administrator, and conservation management code. The base cartography is derived from mathematically subdivided PLS sections. The forty acre polygons have been dissolved on the ownership values in the attribute table. Ownership reflects surface features only. Ownership is only as current as the source information and should not be considered comprehensive for the entire state. Conservation management codes are based upon the owning or administrating entity. Land interest is expressed only when some organization owns or administers more than 50 percent of a forty. |
| Use Tips | IMPORTANT: The date of source material is variable and ranges from 1976 to 1998, although a date range of 1983 to 1985 predominates. Please be aware that these data represent a snapshot in time and are not actively maintained. DNR Land interest is not completely described in this layer. Forties where DNR has less than a 50 percent land interest are not included. The mathematically subdivided PLS sections cartography to which the GAP Stewardship data was mapped has some known irregularities with DNR land records. Government lots are often not correctly matched with DNR land records. Some non-DNR data sources date back to 1973. Many sources are early 1980s vintage. Use with caution. Not appropriate for site-specific work. |

| Purpose | These data were created specifically to support the GAP Analysis Project. The data provide ownership and administration information for each PLS quarter-quarter section and the amount of conservation management available to biodiversity elements analyzed as part of that project. In addition these data may be useful in supporting Minnesota DNR business activities related to recreation resource development and mapping, cooperative land management, and large area planning. | |||

| Section 2 | Data Quality Information | Top of full metadata | Top of page | |
| Attribute Accuracy | Source table ADM_MAJLNDPY2.DBF: Public Land Survey attribute reference is described in metadata for the PLSDVNE2 data set. Ownership accuracy will vary depending on source information provided. No formal methods were used to verify non-PLS information in this database. No systematic review or correction procedure by source data providers was used for verification. Conflicting ownership claims are retained in the field REMARKS, but these were not resolved. Informal verification of the attributes was done by visually comparing the final information with the source data or maps. Some sources provided current but incomplete information. Several sources provided ownership information with PLS reference, and should be considered accurate as of the time of addition to the database. Conservation management codes were set depending not on individual PLS quarter-quarter sections, but on the administrating entity. This generalization may provide a code inaccurate for a particular parcel, but will provide a reasonably accurate assessment of the type of management practiced. Some ownership may have been omitted if the quarter-quarter section was primarily surface water. If the source database provided acreage less than half of the quarter-quarter section's area, but this comprised all of the land, it would not be coded into the base layer. Visual checks with known lake boundaries was done to correct this, but should not be regarded as a complete correction. Informal review of data in the Otter Tail county area suggests a significant error rate in the Waterfowl Production Area (WPA) portion of the database. | |||
| Logical Consistency | Data are topolocially correct using ARC/INFO 7.2.1. All polygons are closed and lines intersect where intended. | |||
| Completeness | Ownership information is complete for state agencies as recorded in the Bureau of Real Estate Management database (1996). This includes county ownership without specific designation. State ownership from other sources is of varying completeness and vintage. Most federally owned lands are complete but smaller holdings are of older vintage, and may thus not reflect current ownership. Tribal ownership is complete for the state but does not include all federally owned lands held in trust or as reservation land. Privately managed lands are complete for over sixty counties. Difficulty of collecting information prevented this piece from being completed. Included are individuals, groups, or companies owning at least 1000 acres, The Nature Conservancy, and Conservation Reserve Program lands administered by the MN Department of Agriculture. DNR users should note that DNR interests are only represented if more than 50 percent of any given forty is in state land ownership. | |||
| Horizontal Positional Accuracy | Source layer gapdipy2: Source township and range lines were tested by the USGS National Mapping Division's Mid-Continent Mapping Center in August of 1993 for two files: Anoka and Battle Lake. The following evaluation was submitted to LMIC on September 1, 1993 in a letter from Mapping Center Chief Merle E. Southern:The positional accuracy of the Minnesota LMIC PLSS data evaluated met most of our recently adopted acceptance/rejection criteria. Tests of three thirty-minute segments all showed standard errors for x and y to be 5-mils [0.005 inch] or less. Tracking test on two segments were generally acceptable -- one line was encountered that was 12-mils off. No deviations of more than 11-mils are allowed. Shaping of linework was acceptable. Lines internal to the sections were arbitrarily generated and should not be treated in any way as authoritative. | |||
| Vertical Positional Accuracy | Source layer gapdipy2: Not Applicable | |||
| Lineage | Attribute Lineage for source table ADM_MAJLNDPY2.DBF: Stewardship attributes were populated with collected information. Source information was added in one of three methods: a) Source information received as a database with a PLS description was joined to the base layer directly. If acreage was provided with the source data, it was compared to the base layer area to determine if at least half of the quarter-quarter section was accounted for. Attributes in the base layer were coded with information from the source database; b) Source information taken from printed maps was manually entered into a database template and joined to the base layer in the same manner as the databases received; c) Source information received as an Arc/INFO coverage was intersected with the 100k quadrangles. Each base layer quarter-quarter section was compared with the output to determine whether or not it was overlayed by the source information coverage. All quarter-quarter sections with at least half of their area covered by the source information coverage were coded with that ownership information. Quarter-quarter sections comprising more than one polygon were included in this process. Those polygons with less than half of the area covered by the source information coverage were not coded. In cases for which two or more sources claimed to be the primary owners of a quarter-quarter section, a decision was made as to which source would be coded in the attributes. Priority was given depending on the type of source information, in the order of the three methods listed above. If the conflicting sources were of the same source type, a decision was made with the DNR to determine which should be coded. Conflicting ownership is recorded in the field REMARKS.

DNR staff subjected the data to a series of post-processes following the original data delivery from BRW. These included the following: 1) restructuring PLS attribute fields and domains to conform to internal DNR coding standards, 2) reassigining attribute codes of surface water bodies within the stat. bdy's of the Superior NF to be blank, 3) matching a version of the DNR land records (Apr, 1998) to the base data to add additional data that were not captured in the initial project. Additional matches ranged from approx. 30 to 280 addt'nl matches per 100k tile, 4) restructuring the data into an alternative design. | |||
