corresponding Nature Preserve.
LAST-UPDATE - the date this area boundary was last modified.
For many of the areas, this will be the date of
the original ARC coverage, 1989.
SOURCE - indicates whether the boundary was digitized from
quadrangle sheets, from aerial photos, or derived
from the 1:100,000 USGS DLG hydrology. The latter
was used for stream reaches which had no definite
right/left bank boundary. The stream segments were
selected from the data base and buffered by 50 feet
in order to have them represented in this data set.
