Description: This dataset contains boundaries and detailed attributes for lands managed by the WV Division of Natural Resources for wildlife management. Many of these lands are owned by the WVDNR, but some are owned by other agencies (USFS, etc.) or private landowners and managed by the WVDNR by agreement. The producer of this data is the WV Division of Natural Resources (WV DNR).Scale: 1:24000Extent: StatewideAttribute Information: This dataset includes sixty-eight (68) attributes including name, owner, contact information, available facilities and attributes describing hunting, fishing and trapping opportunities.Data Created:2013Coordinate System: UTM Zone 17 (NAD 83)File Format: ESRI Geodatabase, ESRI ShapefileUseful links and related datasets: West Virginia Division of Natural ResourcesWildlife Management Areas (WVDNR)Nmonongahela National Forest Datasets

Description: National Forest Boundaries were developed by the United States Forest Service and aggregated as a part of USGS's Protected Areas Database, a subset of the National Gap Analysis project. There are several datasets available, each clipped to different extents or containing unique information. Each dataset is described below:National Forest Proclamation Boundaries, 2017. These data has been clipped to the West Virginia boundary and contains the full extents of lands within the Monongahela, George Washington and the Jefferson National Forests. Since these are proclamation boundaries, the forest service does not own all land within the boundary, but may operate within the area.National Forest Surface Ownership Boundaries, 2017. These files contain polygons of the lands within the proclamation boundaries of each forest that the USFS actually owns and/or manages.National Forests of the Surrounding Region, 2017. These files are the complete boundaries of the National Forests that abut or are proximal to West Virginia.

Description: National parks. Existing or proposed boundaries for Bluestone National Scenic River, Gauley River National Recreation Area, and New River Gorge National River originated from deed descriptions located at the Land Resources Office, New River Gorge National River. Harpers Ferry National Historical Park boundary was extracted from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics' (BTS) 2000 National Transportation Atlas Database (NTAD-2000), version 2.0, release 0. This GIS coverage was originally created in November 2000, boundaries for Bluestone National Scenic River, Gauley River National Recreation Area, and New River Gorge National River were updated in September 2003 with new information from the National Park Service.

Description: The U.S. Census Bureau classifies as urban all territory, population, and housing units located within urbanized areas (UAs) and urban clusters (UCs). An urbanized area (UA) consists of densely settled territory that contains 50,000 or more people, while an urban cluster (UC) consists of densely settled territory that has at least 2,500 people but fewer than 50,000 people. Datasets are available below in two scales: 1:500,000 and 1:100,000.

The 1:100,000 scale dataset was prepared by the Natural Resource Analysis Center (NRAC)at West Virginia University, NRAC downloaded and manipulated the file from ESRI.

Description: The TIGER/Line shapefiles and related database files (.dbf) are an extract of selected geographic and cartographic information from the U.S. Census Bureau's Master Address File / Topologically Integrated Geographic Encoding and Referencing (MAF/TIGER) Database (MTDB). The MTDB represents a seamless national file with no overlaps or gaps between parts, however, each TIGER/Line shapefile is designed to stand alone as an independent data set, or they can be combined to cover the entire nation. States and equivalent entities are the primary governmental divisions of the United States. In addition to the fifty States, the Census Bureau treats the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and each of the Island Areas (American Samoa, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, Guam, and the U.S. Virgin Islands) as the statistical equivalents of States for the purpose of data presentation.
