Private lands within the administrative boundaries are not shown. This digital map is not to be considered as a legal representation of the Forest. Purpose: This dataset is intended as a general outline of lands administered by the GMUG National Forest. Supplemental_Information: The original data were supplied by the US Forest Service. Two outliers of the Uncompahgre Forest that were not included were added.

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) makes no warranties related to the accuracy of the data and users are required to determine suitability of use for any particular purpose. This digital map is not to be construed as a legal representation of the Forest boundaries. The data are assumed to be from 1:24,000 scale base maps, but should not be used at scales larger than 1:100,000. The information in the database does not provide the legal location or land status of private inholdings. Any hardcopies utilizing this data set shall clearly indicate this source. If the user has modified the data in any way, (s)he is obligated to describe the types of modifications performed on the hardcopy map. User specifically agrees not to misrepresent this data set, nor imply that changes were approved by the USGS.

Visual comparisons of the boundary overlain on 1:100,000 topographic maps seemed reasonable. Offsets of as much as 0.5 mi. were noted on several of the 1:24,000 quadrangles (Ironton, Handies Peak). Careful visual checks against the Forest Service (1:126,720 scale) visitors map suggest that the boundary used here is more accurate and should supersede the boundary shown on the 1:24,000 quadrangles when the discrepancies seem so large. Completeness_Report: The data are considered complete for the purpose of displaying the generalized administrative boundaries of the GMUG study area. Logical_Consistency_Report: The original data were supplied by the USFS, Region 2, in Arc/Info export (.e00) format. This file was imported into MapInfo Professional v. 5.5 using the built-in ArcLink translator and reprojected to match the projection of the other datasets (Lambert Conformal Conic, 108). Two small parcels of Uncompahgre National Forest were missing from the original dataset. These were digitized on-screen in MapInfo using the individual 1:24,000 scale topographic maps as underlays and added to the dataset. The original dataset supplied by the USFS separated parts of the forest by administrative unit and contained the locations of Forest Service offices on non-Forest property. These administrative units were combined in MapInfo and the office sites were deleted. The resulting data table includes only the Forest name or indicates private inholdings excluded from the administrative boundaries. There are numerous private inholdings within the administrative boundaries that are not shown. Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report: It is assumed that the original map was digitized from 1:24,000 scale paper maps. The boundaries appear to match those shown on the 1:126,720 scale Forest Visitors' maps and 1:100,000 scale topographic quadrangle maps. (The missing two parcels are shown on the San Juan Forest Visitor's map.)
