Tongass National Forest Ecological Subsections

This geospatially explicit vector-based polygon dataset identifies 85 terrestrial ecological subsection delineations present in Southeast Alaska and the Tongass National Forest. Within each subsection one can expect to find a relatively consistent occurence and distribution of vegetation types. Due to the hydrologically-influenced geomorphology of Southeast Alaska specific key indicators of physiography, lithology, and surface geology were employed to systematically distinguish terrestrial ecosystems.
BLM AK Other Nationally Designated Areas

This layer contains boundaries for National Designation Areas that are not included in other datasets (such as the National Landscape Conservation System (NLCS), Recreation, or Land Use Planning data standards). These are areas designated by an Act of Congress, a Presidential Executive Order, the Alaska National Interest Conservation Lands Act (ANILCA), an Order of the Secretary of the Interior, or a Public Land Order and are administered in accordance with provisions of the enabling legislation and/or orders. National Recreation Areas have at times been included with NLCS Units, but their inclusion has been questioned and Alaska has chosen to store them in this dataset. Areas established through the normal land use planning process (even if they are the same type of area) are not included in this dataset. Areas contained in Recreation (RECS) data standards- Recreation Management Zones, Extensive and Special Recreation Management Areas, are also not stored in this dataset.
Cadastral Parcels Pt

Representative centroids of legal units of land division as inventoried by the Mat-Su Borough Assessment Division. Tax parcels are established from a variety of sources including cadastral plats, patents, subdivision plats, deeds, land contracts, right-of-way plats, and others. Each feature represents a parcel of land that is inventoried by a unique identifier, referred to as an “account” number. This dataset does not necessarily represent the true geometric “center of mass” for any given tax parcel. This dataset also includes identifiers for condominium / business park units and mobile homes.
Environment Waterbodies MSB

This data contains the hydrology data for the Matanuska-Susitna Borough, AK. It is based upon the MSB tax parcel maps, orthoimagery, and data obtained from United States Geological Survey quad sheets. Data contains streams and rivers (except seasonal or intermittent streams), lakes, and islands. Much of the data doesn't match current aerial imagery and should only be used as a general representation water features. Not recommended for display at a scale below 1:6000 in areas along the road system and 1:63360 in other areas.

Southeast Alaska Closed Waters Salmon Net Fisheries Zipped File Geodatabase

Alaska's commercial fisheries are managed using various regulatory areas (i.e., districts and sections) and regulatory waters closed to commercial fishing, and emergency order authority. This data represents closed waters to the commercial taking of salmon with net gear (drift gillnet and purse seine) defined in Alaska Fish and Game Laws and Regulations under regulation 5 AAC 33.350 Closed Waters. Over the past several years, the department has undergone an extensive effort to correct and provide for accurate descriptions of commercial salmon fishing districts, sections and closed waters. The is data set is for reference purposes only and should NOT be used for navigation or for determining compliance with ADF&G Commercial Fishing Regulations. Please consult applicable state statutes and regulations for the official definitions of regulatory boundaries. NOTE: These data attempt do not necessarily depict boundaries used for management during a specific time period. Boundaries used for management may be altered by emergency order and differ from those described in regulations, reports, maps, and other aids. Be sure to reference the most recent Commercial Fishery Advisory Announcements for waters open to commercial fishing. Coordinate locations are in a geographic coordinate system and WGS84 datum. Its advised to check the datum of your GPS prior to entering coordinates for the most accurate locations. Zipped file geodatabase includes a point, line, and polygon feature classes for salmon closed waters to net fisheries. File is shared to ADF&G Open Data site for download.

Municipal Entitlement

General grant land entitlement of boroughs and unified municipalities under AS 29.65.010 through AS 29.65.140 (formerly eligible under AS 29.18.190 through AS 29.18.203 or AS 07.10). This includes lands transferred under AS 38.05.810 (formerly AS 38.05.315) and transferred under AS 38.05.347 (repealed in 1976) that are chargeable under AS 29.65. This shape file characterizes the geographic representation of land parcels within the State of Alaska contained by the Municipal Entitlement category. It has been extracted from data sets used to produce the State status plats. This data set includes cases noted on the digital status plats up to one day prior to data extraction. Each feature has an associated attribute record, including a Land Administration System (LAS) file-type and file-number which serves as an index to related LAS case-file information. Additional LAS case-file and customer information may be obtained at: http://dnr.alaska.gov/projects/las/ Those requiring more information regarding State land records should contact the Alaska Department of Natural Resources Public Information Center directly.
State Park Boundary

Boundaries of Alaska State Parks, including all park units managed by the Division of Parks and Outdoor Recreation (DPOR). These boundaries were compiled from the statutes and management agreements which determine management by DPOR as well as state land ownership data. These boundaries include all land which is available for public recreation in each park, and which is managed by DPOR. These boundaries may differ from the outer statutory boundaries due to the inclusion of non-state land within the outer statutory boundary or the acquisition of new state land adjacent to an existing park.
State Park Trail

This layer contains established trails in Alaska State Parks. The trail data was compiled by the Trails Inventory Project, Alaska State Trails Program, Division of Parks and Outdoor Recreation (DPOR). Data was collected by DPOR staff using mapping grade GPS receivers between 2007 and 2015. Much of the funding came from the Recreational Trails Program (RTP). New trails may have been constructed and trails may have been re-routed, changed, or closed since the data was compiled. Please send us feedback if a trail is missing from the data or if a trail is impassable, re-routed, or closed. Regulations, orders closing or opening trails, and DPOR signs closing a trail or prohibiting a particular activity take precedence over information about trail status or activities provided here.
State Prospecting Site

Prospecting Sites are for acquiring potential "locatable" mineral rights (base and precious metals) that have not been discovered yet. Prospecting sites have a term of two years and are staked like a mining claim. This shape file characterizes the geographic representation of land parcels within the State of Alaska contained by the Mining Claim, Permit, or Prospecting Site category. It has been extracted from data sets used to produce the State status plats. This data set includes cases noted on the digital status plats up to one day prior to data extraction. Each feature has an associated attribute record, including a Land Administration System (LAS) file-type and file-number which serves as an index to related LAS case-file information. Additional LAS case-file and customer information may be obtained at: https://dnr.alaska.gov/projects/las/ Those requiring more information regarding State land records should contact the Alaska Department of Natural Resources Public Information Center directly.

PLSS Grid Unclipped Sections

Protracted section boundaries were electronically generated using aliquot part algorithms developed by DNR staff. These digital protracted sections are based on a framework of non-graphic township coordinate files. The programs make calculations from the radian measurements representing township corner coordinates. At the time when these section coverages were constructed, both DNR and BLM stored their radian measurements to twelve positions of accuracy, which allows resolution of less than one meter. Polygon attributes contain the BLM index number, meridian, township, range, and section number for each section. This coverage is intended to geographically represent BLM's protracted sections for on-shore townships and DNR's protracted sections for off-shore townships, and is not capable of supporting survey quality area calculations.
PLSS Grid Unclipped Townships

Township boundaries were generated from radian measurements of township corner coordinates, represented to the nearest 0.001 second, recorded on official protraction diagrams of the state from BLM and ADNR. ADNR used 1994 AEH coordinate files from BLM as the basis of its work. BLM provided information for 18,654 land-based townships, and ADNR added another 774 (prior to 1996) townships that cover marine areas. Based on ADNR research, corner coordinates were modified for approximately 600 townships to correct the east-west and/or north-south alignment of neighboring townships. ADNR research also ensured that townships match across meridian lines. Out of a total 19,425 townships currently defined for the state, 52 were identified by BLM as being irregular, that is, they cannot be describe by four corner points. During ADNR processing, many other minor adjustments were made to resolve spatial anomalies. Irregular townships are outlined using as many corner points as necessary, which was typically six to represent L-shaped townships. Many complex townships, including those along the US/Canadian border and those where meridians join, are described by more than six corner points; a few by only 3 points. Using a geographic projection, ADNR created a double-precision coverage for the entire state from a compilation of the regular and irregular townships. Several iterations using ARC/INFO were required to find and resolve discrepancies in the tabular database. Arcs were densified while the township outlines were still in a geographic projection, to maintain the proper curvature of boundary lines during subsequent projection to other coordinate systems. The final result is a set of statewide coverages, both single-precision and double-precision, in both the Albers projection and geographic coordinates. The final coverages maintain as closely as possible the original protracted coordinate values.
Reference Grids Sections

Section boundaries as defined by the US Public Land Survey System (PLSS). PLSS is a way of subdividing and describing land in the United States. Most lands in the public domain are subject to subdivision by this rectangular system of surveys, which is regulated by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management. Section boundaries were generated from geodetic latitude and longitude coordinate pairs as recorded on BLM's official protraction diagrams of the state of Alaska. Most corners are protracted corners, calculated by the Bureau of Land Management in lieu of field or survey locations. In 2013 and 2015 the Matanuska-Susitna Borough (MSB) shifted portions of this dataset to more accurately reflect the actual locations of section corners on the ground. These shifts occurred in the more populated areas of the MSB. Contact the MSB GIS division for more information.

PM2.5 Control Zones

On October 2, 2018, Fairbanks North Star Borough (FNSB) voters passed a citizen initiative (Prop 4) that removed the FNSB’s authority to regulate wood stoves and other wood and coal fired heating devices. Therefore, the Department of Environmental Conservation’s Air Quality Division will be issuing air quality alerts, curtailment announcements, and conducting compliance and enforcement. DEC may either call the Alert or Curtailment for the entire nonattainment area, or for specific zones: North Pole Zone, Fairbanks Zone, Goldstream Zone, or a combination.

Alaska DEC Active Regulated Underground Storage Tank Facilities

This map was created by the State of Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation-Contaminated Sites Program to assist the public in identifying the location of facilities with active regulated underground storage tanks in the State of Alaska. Active underground storage tanks are in a status of “currently in use” or “temporarily out of use”, which means the tanks still exist in a regulated status. These tanks are currently registered to hold a regulated petroleum product or a hazardous substance.
Hazards Flood Zone

The Digital Flood Insurance Rate Map (DFIRM) Database depicts flood risk information and supporting data used to develop the risk data. The primary risk classifications used are the 1-percent-annual-chance flood event, the 0.2-percent-annual- chance flood event, and areas of minimal flood risk. The DFIRM Database is derived from Flood Insurance Studies (FISs), previously published Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs), flood hazard analyses performed in support of the FISs and FIRMs, and new mapping data, where available. The FISs and FIRMs are published by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). The file is georeferenced to earth?s surface using the State Plane coordinate system. The specifications for the horizontal control of DFIRM data files are consistent with those required for mapping at a scale of 1:12,000.
