Description:
Abstract:
This coverage contains information about ecoregions within the historic Yankton Sioux Reservation boundary in eastern Charles Mix County, South Dakota. Identified units include Southern Missouri Coteau, Southern Missouri Coteau Slope, and Southern River Breaks.

The map by Bryce and others (1998) was scanned, registered, and digitized to create this coverage. See cross reference information for more detail.

Purpose:
This coverage was prepared to assist the Yankton Sioux Tribe in developing a pesticide management plan.
Supplemental_Information:
This electronic report was subjected to the same review standard that applies to all U.S. Geological Survey reports. Reviewers were asked to check the topological consistency, tolerances, attribute frequencies and statistics, projection and geographic extent. The reviewers checked the metadata and readme files for completeness and accuracy.

Although this Federal Geographic Data Committee-compliant metadata file is intended to document the data set in nonproprietary form, as well as in ARC/INFO format, this metadata file may include some ARC/INFO-specific terminology.
