BLM AK Selected Lands

In Alaska, the Bureau of Land Management has been tasked with the largest land transfer effort ever taken in the United States. For more than 30 years, the BLM has been involved with the survey and conveyance of lands in Alaska under three statutes: the Native Allotment Act of 1906; the Alaska Statehood Act, and the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act (ANCSA). The work being done to implement these laws is collectively called the Alaska Land Transfer Program. The Alaska Land Transfer Program has three distinct phases: preliminary adjudication and application approval; cadastral survey; and conveyance of lands and entitlements.
BLM AK Federal Mining Claims

This data set depicts the non-surveyed boundaries of active (recorded or interim) and closed federal mining claims within the State of Alaska. Each mining claim is represented as an individual region, identified by the casefile serial number which can be linked to background data via the ALIS (Alaska Land Information System). Mining claim boundaries were identified in location notices from the original casefiles. They were plotted on maps based on rough sketches, claimant maps or physical descriptions.
BLM Alaska Public Land Survey System (PLSS) Cadastral National Spatial Data Infrastructure (CadNSDI)

BLM Alaska PLSS Intersected: This dataset represents the GIS Version of the Public Land Survey System including both rectangular and non-rectangular surveys. The primary source for the data is cadastral survey records housed by the BLM supplemented with local records and geographic control coordinates from states, counties as well as other federal agencies such as the USGS and USFS. The data has been converted from source documents to digital form and transferred into a GIS format that is compliant with FGDC Cadastral Data Content Standards and Guidelines for publication. This data is optimized for data publication and sharing rather than for specific "production" or operation and maintenance. This data set includes the following: PLSS Fully Intersected (all of the PLSS feature at the atomic or smallest polygon level), PLSS Townships, First Divisions and Second Divisions (the hierarchical break down of the PLSS Rectangular surveys) PLSS Special surveys (non rectangular components of the PLSS) Meandered Water, Corners and Conflicted Areas (known areas of gaps or overlaps between Townships or state boundaries). The Entity-Attribute section of this metadata describes these components in greater detail.
FWS Migratory Bird US Joint Ventures Boundaries

A joint venture is a self-directed partnership of agencies, organizations, corporations, tribes, or individuals that has formally accepted the responsibility of implementing national or international bird conservation plans within a specific geographic area or for a specific taxonomic group, and has received general acceptance in the bird conservation community for such responsibility. Federal, state, tribal, or private parties may suggest the development of new joint ventures at any time. The initiating agency or organization will coordinate with potential partners to produce a scoping document or concept plan. circulate the document for review and comment by agencies, organizations, and individuals. Based on this review, a decision as to whether or not to form a management board and develop an implementation plan will be made. submit a draft implementation plan to the Division of Bird Habitat Conservation (Division), which will coordinate the review of the plan within the Service, with the appropriate Flyway Councils (Atlantic, Mississippi, Central, and Pacific), with the national or international boards that oversee the various bird conservation initiatives (North American Waterfowl Management Plan, U.S. Shorebird Conservation Plan, North American Waterbird Conservation Plan, and Partners in Flight), and other interested parties. Based on this review, the Division will determine whether or not a recommendation for Service support of the proposed joint venture should be made to the Director. This dataset is based on the North American Joint Venture dataset which has been clipped to the boundary of the United States. The latest revision (4/24/2025) includes the addition of California Central Coast Joint Venture and boundary modifications for Rio Grande and Sonoran Joint Ventures.

TNF Analysis Area Sync Enabled

Forest Service Enterprise Data Warehouse (EDW) Surface Ownership updated with saltwater shoreline Mean High Water Combined Source (MHW_CS). Forest service Shoreline Integration Tool was employed to accomplish this update. Note, Forest service land areas were updated to MHW_CS shoreline, while non-forest service areas were not. The Forest Service prepared this dataset to support the Tongass National Forest (TNF) plan revision GIS analysis. This 2025 update builds upon the 2024 TNF forest plan assessment analysis incorporating all available NOAA CUSP shoreline updates, including additional Lidar derived shoreline. Forest Service Lands Team is updating Land Status Record System (LSRS) in 2024/2025 with expected completion and publication to EDW in 2026. These data may not be used to determine title, ownership, legal descriptions or boundaries, legal jurisdiction, or restrictions that may be in place on either public or private land.

Public Safety Addresses

This dataset represents the address point locations assigned by the Mat-Su Borough GIS/Addressing staff. Most of the parcels within the Mat-Su Borough that are road accessible have been assigned a physical address except where the access point is unknown, as with undeveloped corner lots. The address points in this dataset do not necessarily represent precise building locations as the data was originally based on the underlying parcel centroids. Data has historically been constructed and maintained using ArcView and ArcEditor applications. The current address assignment process involves using an ArcMap extension called MapSAG, which creates point features as directed by the GIS Addressing staff. Address information is populated at this time. As underlying parcel data accuracy has been spatially improved through field verification and mapping grade GPS equipment, address points have been shifted accordingly to fall within the appropriate parcels.

NOAA Continuously Operating Reference Stations (CORS) Network

The NOAA Continuously Operating Reference Stations (CORS) Network (NCN), managed by NOAA/National Geodetic Survey, provide Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) data, supporting three dimensional positioning, meteorology, space weather, and geophysical applications throughout the United States. Surveyors, GIS users, engineers, scientists, and other people who collect GPS/GNSS data can use NCN data, acquired at fiducial geodetic control stations, to improve the precision of their positions, and align their work within the National Spatial Reference System (NSRS). NCN enhanced post-processed coordinate accuracies can approach a few centimeters, both horizontally and vertically. The CORS network is a multi-purpose, multi-agency cooperative endeavor, combining the efforts of hundreds of government, academic, and private organizations. The stations are independently owned and operated. Each agency shares their GNSS/GPS carrier phase and code range measurements and station metadata with NGS, which are analyzed and distributed free of charge. This Feature Service is a derivative of this UFCORS text file that is updated hourly.

RCA Natural Gas Utility Service Areas

Active non-wholesale non-transmission Natural Gas Utility Service Areas as listed in the Regulatory Commission of Alaska (RCA) Certificate details for regulated utilities. Likely the most comprehensive collection of State of Alaska utility service areas - but not necessarily definitive for every utility. For complicated large city service areas such as water and sewer the GIS department that represents those cities might have the best representation of the service area. There are also utilities that may not be regulated by RCA which will not be in the data. Footprints in general were lifted from existing KML files created by a contractor in the years 2008-2017. Service area changes that have happened since 2008 may not yet be reflected in the footprints. In a few cases legal descriptions had typos which resulted in service areas miles from the community they intended to cover. In the case of the AsOfDate attribute in this dataset only reflects the date of the last syncing of master certificate metadata with RCA Library database - not the current polygon representation.
