Description:

Abstract:

This data set shows state Fish and Wildlife Areas. Digitized from maps provided by DNR, county plat books, USGS TIGER files, and 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:

Appropriate for use in local and regional thematic analysis. Data are not accurate enough to be used as a geodetic or engineering base. Intended to include at least some representation for each State Fish and Wildlife Area.
