  Description:
    Abstract:
      New Mexico lands administered by the USDI Fish and Wildlife Service.
      was scanned from BLM 1:100k surface ownership maps and merged into a
      statewide coverage.

      Descriptors:
      Surface Ownership, USDI, Fish and Wildlife Service.

    Purpose:
      analysis projects and/or any operation that may use small scale data
      (1:500K).

      Intended use of data
      This data was collected originally to produce the 1:500K surface
      ownership map of new Mexico.   This map was published 12/94 and
      is available ($8.00) at any BLM office.

    Supplemental_Information:

      The data was scanned from the original BLM 1:100k map plates
      (these plates are used to produce the 1:100k color land status maps).
      586 plates were scanned, edited with LT4X (a raster data editing pkg.
      and converted to the Map Overlay Statistical System (MOSS).   In MOSS
      the individual files were merged into statewide coverages, generalize
      by dissolving polygons less than 158 acres, then used to produce the
      plates for the 1:500K NM Surface Ownership Map.   The individual
      coverages were then converted to ARC, re-verified for completeness
      and checked for locational accuracy.

      Revision,  version 2.96, revision 1.

      Review of this data included the inspection of the LOG file for
      completeness and conformance to the steps described in this narrati
      Including, verification of polygon identities, validity of polygon
      locations checked against the reference data sets and other ownersh
      coverages and an exhaustive inspection of the map plates that were
      produced with the data.

      Related spatial data sets include the other Surface Ownership
      coverages and generalized coverage of the Public Land Survey System
