Park Outline

The feature class ParkOutline is a statewide summary of all park, preserve, monument and current wilderness boundaries. Data used in preparation of the maps were obtained from USGS 1:250,000 topographic maps depicting the ANILCA boundaries compiled in 1980 by the Interior Alaska Planning Group. Data was then transferred to 1:63,360 USGS topographic mylar base maps and reviewed for accuracy by National Park Service, Alaska Regional Office, Land Resources Program Center. This feature class is derived from the Alaska National Park Boundary feature class (ParkBnd). In ArcCatalog the DISSOLVE function in ArcToolbox is run on the ParkBnd feature class to remove internal administrative boundaries found in that feature class. This action thereby creates this simplified park outline coverage to be used in general map displays.
