USFS Buildings

Overview

The U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service (USDA FS) buildings data layer in IFTDSS includes all USDA FS buildings currently populated within the USDA FS Infrastructure Application (INFRA) database.

Data Input

This is a published feature class and is constructed by reformatting data stored in the Infra database and managed by the individual administrative units. If a building does not exist in the INFRA database, it does not appear in this layer.

Data Limitations

Coordinate data entry in INFRA has not always been mandatory. Therefore, many buildings do not have spatial descriptors. In addition, of those buildings that do have spatial descriptors, not all of them have been verified and mistakes in data entry may have occurred. Additions or corrections to this layer can be made through the INFRA database, which can then be spatially enabled and used to update this layer.

Attributes for this layer included building name and type.
