Abstract:

The Tribal Nations Reservation Boundaries in Montana were digitized from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) 1:250,000 scale maps adjusted to be coincident with the Bureau of Land Management's Geographic Coordinate Database (GCDB) or the USGS 1:24,000 scale Digital Raster Graphics (DRGs). Where reservation boundaries are coincident with public land survey lines, they were copied from the BLM's GCDB. If boundaries were not coincident with GCDB lines, they were digitized on screen from the USGS DRGs. Reservation Boundaries will change as the GCDB is adjusted by the BLM and those data are imported into the Montana Cadastral Data Model.

Tribal Nations Reservation Boundaries in Montana coincident with the BLM's GCDB or the USGS 1:24,000 scale Raster Graphics. The dataset now includes Off Reservation Trust Land from the U.S. Census Bureau that has been supplemented with Montana Department of Revenue owner parcels.

Purpose: For the mapping of Tribal Nations Reservations in Montana

Supplemental information:

The Montana State Library and the MSDI supports a federated database approach to all MSDI layers. Montana defines a federated approach as a method that supports the integration and utilization of data from multiple data providers, while retaining the primary maintenance responsibility with the provider. Most of Montana's framework data model efforts have adopted a federated approach that leverages multiple data providers and thus multiple data maintainers.

It is plausible that errors do exist and we welcome all corrections. If you do have a boundary update/correction/question please contact the Administrative Boundaries Data Coordinator.

Process step:

Montana Reservation boundaries when coincident with the PLSS were copied from original GCDB data downloaded from the Montana State BLM Office. Based on recent observations, this GCDB data varies somewhat from what is available at the Denver GCDB LSIS site and BLM needs to coordinate to ensure one standard version of GCDB. The boundaries that are not coincident with PLSS, rivers and other topographic features, were on screen digitized from the USGS raster graphics. Discrepancies were researched when encountered, however this is not meant to represent a legal survey of Montana Reservation boundaries.


Process date: 2002-2003

Process step: Updated Crow Reservation Boundary


Process date: 11/2017

Process step:

Adjusted reservation boundaries to the November 2018 CadNSDI Montana (PLSS)


Process date: 02/08/2019

Process step:

Reviewed and updated boundaries to follow the U.S. Census Bureau; Added a unique identifier (ID_UK); Aligned to the 2021 CadNSDI; Projected to NAD83 2011
