Summary

    This dataset is intended to provide information on the location of lands owned and/or administered by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) and for general conservation planning within the state. This dataset is not intended for navigational use. Users should contact the CDFW, Wildlife Branch, Lands Program or CDFW Regional offices for access information to a particular property. These datasets do not provide legal determination of parcel acreages or boundaries. Legal parcel acreages are based on County Assessor records. Users should contact the Wildlife Branch, Lands Program for this information and related data.

    When labeling or displaying properties on any map, use the provided field named "MAPLABEL" or use a generic label such as "conservation lands", "restricted lands", or some other similiar generalized label.

    All conservation easements are closed to public access.

Description

                        The CDFW Owned and Operated Lands and Conservation Easements dataset is a subset of the CDFW Lands dataset. It contains lands owned (fee title), some operated (wildlife areas, ecological reserves, and public/fishing access properties that are leases/agreements with other agencies that may be publicly accessible) and conservation easements held by CDFW. CDFW Owned and Operated Lands and Conservation Easements replaces the prior dataset, DFG Owned and Operated Lands, which included only fee title lands and some operated lands
                        (wildlife areas, ecological reserves, and public/fishing access properties that are leases/agreements with other agencies and that may be publicly accessible). This is a generalized version dataset that has a shorter attribute table than the original and also has been dissolved based on the fields included. Please note that some lands may not be accessible due to the protection of resources and habitat. It is recommended that users contact the appropriate regional office for access information and consult regulations for CDFW lands in Sections 550, 550.1, 551, 552, 630 and 702.

                        The CDFW Lands dataset is a digitized geographical inventory of selected lands owned and/or administered by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife. Properties such as ecological reserves, wildlife areas, undesignated lands containing biological resource values, public and fishing access lands, and CDFW fish hatcheries are among those lands included in this inventory. Types of properties owned or administered by CDFW which may not be included in this dataset are parcels less than 1 acre in size, such as fishing piers, fish spawning grounds, fish barriers, and other minor parcels. Physical boundaries of individual parcels are determined by the descriptions contained in legal documents and assessor parcel maps relating to that parcel. The approximate parcel boundaries are drawn onto U.S. Geological Survey 7.5'-series topographic maps, then digitized and attributed before being added to the dataset. In some cases, assessor parcel or best available datasets are used to digitize the boundary. Using parcel data to adjust the boundaries is a work in progress and will be incorporated in the future. Township, range, and section lines were based on the U.S. Geological Survey 7.5' series topographic maps (1:24,000 - scale). In some areas, the boundaries will not align with the Bureau of Land Management's Public Lands Survey System (PLSS). See the "SOURCE" field for data used to digitize boundary.

Measure description

      Digitized parcels are reviewed by comparing automatically computed acreages against legal acreages defined by title documents or county assessor parcel map information. Corrections are made for all properties which exceed 10 percent difference between the above two acreages. While the computed acreage may be sufficiently accurate for general use such as large scale conservation planning, users are advised to contact the Wildlife Branch, Lands Program when official, acreage-specific property or parcel information is required. Area measures of parcel polygons, automatically calculated by ArcGIS in the field SHAPE_AREA, are used for quality control only. The Lands Program also uses the SHAPE_AREA field to calculate an acreage value in the field GIS_ACRES. Users should not cite any calculated acreage values relating to CDFW Lands parcels. This is not a surveyed product. It is referential only. Contact Wildlife Branch, Lands Program for details.

    Abstract

                                      The CDFW Owned and Operated Lands and Conservation Easements dataset is a subset of the CDFW Lands dataset. It contains lands owned (fee title), some operated (wildlife areas, ecological reserves, and public/fishing access properties that are leases/agreements with other agencies that may be publicly accessible) and conservation easements held by CDFW. CDFW Owned and Operated Lands and Conservation Easements replaces the prior dataset, DFG Owned and Operated Lands, which included only fee title lands and some operated lands (wildlife areas, ecological reserves, and public/fishing access properties that are leases/agreements with other agencies and that may be publicly accessible). This is a generalized version dataset that has a shorter attribute table than the original and also has been dissolved based on the fields included. Please note that some lands may not be accessible due to the protection of resources and habitat. It is recommended that users contact the appropriate regional office for access information and consult regulations for CDFW lands in Sections 550, 550.1, 551, 552, 630 and 702. The CDFW Lands dataset is a digitized geographical inventory of selected lands owned and/or administered by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife. Properties such as ecological reserves, wildlife areas, undesignated lands containing biological resource values, public and fishing access lands, and CDFW fish hatcheries are among those lands included in this inventory. Types of properties owned or administered by CDFW which may not be included in this dataset are parcels less than 1 acre in size, such as fishing piers, fish spawning grounds, fish barriers, and other minor parcels. Physical boundaries of individual parcels are determined by the descriptions contained in legal documents and assessor parcel maps relating to that parcel. The approximate parcel boundaries are drawn onto U.S. Geological Survey 7.5'-series topographic maps, then digitized and attributed before being added to the dataset. In some cases, assessor parcel or best available datasets are used to digitize the boundary. Using parcel data to adjust the boundaries is a work in progress and will be incorporated in the future. Township, range, and section lines were based on the U.S. Geological Survey 7.5' series topographic maps (1:24,000 - scale). In some areas, the boundaries will not align with the Bureau of Land Management's Public Lands Survey System (PLSS). See the "SOURCE" field for data used to digitize boundary.

    Purpose

                                      This dataset is intended to provide information on the location of lands owned and/or administered by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) and for general conservation planning within the state. This dataset is not intended for navigational use. Users should contact the CDFW, Wildlife Branch, Lands Program or CDFW Regional offices for access information to a particular property. These datasets do not provide legal determination of parcel acreages or boundaries. Legal parcel acreages are based on County Assessor records. Users should contact the Wildlife Branch, Lands Program for this information and related data.

          When labeling or displaying properties on any map, use the provided field named "MAPLABEL" or use a generic label such as "conservation lands", "restricted lands", or some other similiar generalized label.

          All conservation easements are closed to public access.

    Supplemental Information

                                      Some field changes and additions as of September 2010: The property name and county are entered as upper and lower cases. The property name is fully spelled out (i.e. Ash Creek WA is now Ash Creek Wildlife Area). Added DFG_URL (CDFW's Web site), ACCESS (Accessibility of property), MAPLABEL (Abbreviated property type in the name on some of the property, ie. Ash Creek WA), COMMENT fields.

          As of January 1, 2013 our new name is the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW).  The new department web and email addresses also took effect.

  Attribute Accuracy
    Attribute Accuracy Report

                                      Digitized parcels are reviewed by comparing automatically computed acreages against legal acreages defined by title documents or county assessor parcel map information. Corrections are made for all properties which exceed 10 percent difference between the above two acreages. While the computed acreage may be sufficiently accurate for general use such as large scale conservation planning, users are advised to contact the Wildlife and Fisheries Division, Lands Program when official, acreage-specific property or parcel information is required. Area measures of parcel polygons, automatically calculated by ArcGIS in the field SHAPE_AREA, are used for quality control only. The Lands Program also uses the SHAPE_AREA field to calculate an acreage value in the field GIS_ACRES. Users should not cite any calculated acreage values relating to CDFW_Lands parcels. This not a survey product. It is referential only. Contact Wildlife and Fisheries Division, Lands Program for details.
