- Abstract:
-
This layer identifies designated critical habitat for the Cape Sable Seaside Sparrow under the Endangered Species Act.
- Purpose:
-
Geographic Information System (GIS) data for the designation of critical habitat of the Cape Sable seaside sparrow:
These GIS data and their associated coordinates are not the definitive source for determining the critical habitat boundaries for the Cape Sable seaside sparrow. As noted in the final rule, the textual unit descriptions constitute the legal source for determining the critical habitat boundaries. Users of these GIS data are cautioned to refer to the final textual unit descriptions provided in the final rule as the definitive source in determining critical habitat areas. Additionally, interested parties are encouraged to contact the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service for a definitive finding of whether a location is within critical habitat.

- Data_Quality_Information:
-
- Attribute_Accuracy:
-
- Attribute_Accuracy_Report:
-
"AREA" and ACRES" attributes were updated to verify their accuracy on 8/30/05.
- Quantitative_Attribute_Accuracy_Assessment:
-
- Attribute_Accuracy_Value: Excellent
- Attribute_Accuracy_Explanation:
-
Deductinve estimate. Since the attributes were created by a reliable software (XTools 2.2), it can be assumed that they are correct.
- Logical_Consistency_Report:
-
The shapefile was exported to an ArcInfo coverage. The coverage was checked using ArcEdit (ArcInfo 8.2). The coverage was checked for dangles, and they were removed if discovered. The lines also had all splits removed. The coverage was then built and exported back to a shapefile.
- Completeness_Report:
-
The topology was checked completely. There were no user-defined attributes for this shapefile. The attributes created by ArcInfo were deleted. XTools 2.2 was used to create and update the attributes "AREA" and "ACRES".

- Process_Description:
-
Based on descriptions in the document "19770922 Federal register critical habitat revision.pdf". The source data layers for the old Everglades National Park (ENP) boundary (pre-1990, before acquisition of the East Everglades District) and the Public Land Surveys System (PLSS) were used to create the polygon shapefile.
Each of the Public Lands Survey System (PLSS) sections listed as being within the ENP was selected and clipped to the old ENP boundary. Each of the PLSS sections listed as being outside the ENP were selected and then merged with the previously selected and clipped PLSS sections within the ENP. Then, two areas within the Cape Sable seaside sparrow (CSSS) critical habitat (CH) within the ENP, where the PLSS does not exist, were digitized and appended to the PLSS layer designated as CSSS CH. These areas are listed in the spatial description as T57S R36 1/2E, T58 1/2S R35E, and T58 1/2S R36 1/2E T59S R35E. These areas are located in two places. The first place with no PLSS that is designated as CSSS CH within the ENP and digitized is located between T57S R36E and the old ENP boundary to the east, listed as "T57S R36 1/2E" in the description, and the area between T58 R36E and the old ENP boundary to the east, listed as "T58 1/2S R35E" in the description. The second place with no PLSS that was digitized is located to the west of T59S R35E and south of T58S R35E Sec. 31. The western boundary of T58S R35E Sec 31 was extended south until it met a line extending west from the southern boundary of T59S R35E Sec. 31. This area is listed as "5T58 1/2S R36 1/2E T59S R35E" in the description. Finally, all areas outside the PLSS and inside the PLSS designated as CSSS CH were merged and dissolved.

- Process_Description:
-
The polygon ArcInfo coverage was converted back to a shapefile. The field attributes added by ArcInfo were deleted. The Attributes "Area" and "Acres" were created and updated by XTools 2.2. The attribute fields "Area" and "Acres" were then restructed using XTools 2.2 so that "Area" is an integar and "Acres" has only one decimal.
