The conservation/public lands data layer describes parcels of lands which
because of conditions of ownership of federal, state, or local government,
conservation organization, or other entity, in fee simple or less than fee,
e.g. conservation easement, are essentially protected from being developed.
The data layer presently contains all federal and state owned lands, as well
as all parcels protected under the Land Conservation Investment Program
(LCIP). Efforts are now underway to incorporate additional town and
conservation organization lands. A major revision of the data layer is
expected to be available in early summer, 1995.
The data development has relied on several sources, including the USGS
Digital Line Graphs (1:24,000 scale) parcel boundaries, Society for the
Protection of NH Forests records, as well as original deeds and tax maps.
Parcel boundaries were compiled on 1:24,000-scale, mylar quad overlays in
preparation for automation.
Polygons are coded with a polygon id (PID), which links to an attribute
table (CONSnnn.ADF) containing a number of descriptive attributes, including
grantee, managing agency, level of protection, date of acquisition, and
program under which parcel was acquired.
