Abstract:
Simplified by MT Fish, Wildlife, & Parks Bozeman office from
data provided by the US Soil Conservation Service. Original
data had these TICs: 1:-452200,2900849 2:442893,2902591
3:465925,2459993 4:-81082,2387755. Data was TRANSFORMED to
current TICs, then ADJUSTED using the 223 links that are
still in the coverage. See
/gis2/montwork/cmp/94/94nris98b.aml & 94nris98f. Map
projection of original data was unknown.
