Abstract:
Montana National Park Service Lands digitized from 1:126,720 scale National Forest Visitors maps, BLM 1:100,000 scale maps, or selected from U.S. Census Bureau TIGER files where park boundaries follow county lines.

These data are from the GIS collection of the Montana State Digital Library Archive. The data were removed from the State Library's Natural Resource Information System (NRIS) web site in 2002, when it was replaced by more accurate data from the Montana Natural Heritage Program's stewardship database.
