      Process_Description:
        Ownership has been compiled from USFS cartographic feature file data and with local staff review updates.  Aerial photography, 1:24000 scale quad maps, and GPS points have been utilized in refining placement of linework.  10/2009 revision incorporates corrections in the Forest Service ownership in the vicinity of the Lower Meadow range allotment.
        11/2009 revision incorporates corrections in the Forest Service ownership in the Smokehole area of the Potomac Ranger District.
