Digitized from maps in county plat books or from 1:24,000 quadrangle maps. Boundaries are approximate and do not indicate ownership or property boundaries. The Illinois Department of Conservation Land and Water Report of 30 June 1994 was used as a reference. Purpose: Intended to include representation for each state forest. These data are appropriate for regional thematic analysis. They are not appropriate as a geodetic or engineering base. The data set was not and is not intended as a substitute for surveyed locations, such as can be determined by a registered Public Land Surveyor. Although useful in a GIS as a reference base layer for maps, the data set has no legal basis in the definition of boundaries or property lines. Supplemental_Information: This is edition 20040402 of this feature class. While is has been available on ISGS file systems in coverage form for several years, managing the data as an ArcSDE feature datatset is new as of 2 April 2004. This merits an updated designation. The edition designation is derived from the aforementioned date using FGDC metadata notation.
