Abstract:
Simplified by MT Fish, Wildlife, and Parks Bozeman office from data provided by the US Soil Conservation Service. Original data had these TICs: 1:-452200,2900849 2:442893,2902591 3:465925,2459993 4:-81082,2387755. Data was TRANSFORMED to current TICs, then ADJUSTED using the 223 links that are still in the coverage version. Map projection of original data was unknown. An ESRI export file of the coverage version of the data is included in the distribution to provide access to the adjustment links.
