The polygons are attributed by a pasture number and naming system that is consistent with the Rangeland Administration System (RAS). All land, regardless of ownership or whether it is used for livestock grazing, may be covered with a polygon. 43CFR4100.05 and BLM Manual H-4110-1.22D Feature Class 0 objectid Internal feature number. ESRI Sequential unique whole numbers that are automatically generated. OBJECTID OID 4 0 0 shape Feature geometry. ESRI Coordinates defining the features. SHAPE Geometry 0 0 0 DEF_FEATURE Defining Feature String 25 0 0 The physical or legal feature that defines the boundary according to the legal boundary description. In general, the lowest level defining feature, but it depends on how the boundary segment is defined. For example, SUBDIVISION rather than COUNTY unless the boundary segment is specifically defined as following the county boundary. If the line is copied from another theme and already has DEF_FEATURE, it should be reviewed and may need to be changed for use in this dataset. Allotments and pastures may be legally described by township, range and sections. It is important to know the legal description. However, it is not sufficient just to know the legal description because the physical features that keep livestock in or out define pastures. Legal land lines are used only if there is no physically confining feature, and the pasture needs to be closed. If fences are not yet digitally captured, it may be necessary to use ownership and section lines, or roads, or streams as legally described, but these should be replaced when the fence is captured. If it is known that a particular pasture boundary segment is a fence, then the GRA_ARC attribute DEF_FEATURE should be set to "FENCE" even if the line temporarily used to depict it is a parcel line. The GRA lines depicting pasture boundaries usually represent or are related to fences, rims, water, roads, and subdivisions (sections or ownership) which may be found on other themes. It is important to know as precisely as possible what defines a pasture boundary. If the boundary is described as a stream, then the question, "Which side of the stream?" determines which pasture includes the water. Often a pasture boundary will follow the middle of a stream or road, in which case the appropriate segment from the GIS transportation or hydrography theme is copied. If the boundary is defined as one side or the other, then the transportation or hydrography segment can be buffered, and the appropriate buffer line used or an offset line can be digitized. In summary, the following hierarchy is used for creating GRA lines and attributing DEF_FEATURE: 1. FENCE, always use fence lines first, if possible 2. RIM, LAKE, STREAM_LBANK, STREAM_RBANK, STREAM 3. ROAD, ROAD_OFFSET 4. SUBDIVISION 5. POINT-TO-POINT 6.

There are several factors to consider in GIS error: scale and accuracy of map-based sources, accuracy of Global Positioning System (GPS) equipment, and the skill level of the data manipulators. A value of "0" indicates no entry was made. This is the correct value when the COORD_SRC is another GIS theme (Digital Line Graph, Cadastral National Spatial Data Infrastructure and Digital Elevation Model (DEM)) because the accuracy is determined by that theme. However, if COORD_SRC is MAP (digitized from a paper map) or GPS, a value of "0" indicates a missing value that should be filled in either with a non-zero number or "-1." A value of "-1" indicates that the accuracy is unknown, and no reliable estimate can be made.
