The Master Title Plats provide a reference to these records. The federal surface and minerals management status in the ownership theme are to be used as general planning and management tools only. The ownership theme is based on the best available information at the time of file update. The official Public Land Tenure Records maintained by the Bureau of Land Management and other responsible Federal agencies should always be checked for current status on specific tracts of land. Please report discrepancies in the ownership theme to the BLM office from which it was obtained.Tim KeckOR/WA BLM - Oregon State OfficeLand Surveyor, 957.3 GCDB Sectionmailing address

Discrepancies were cross-checked with other sources to determine and confirm the correct attribute. Lines are coded to indicate the source of the attribute.The Legal_Description was built for polygon, arc, and node topology.This theme covers the states of Oregon and Washington.Horizontal positional accuracy varies from point to point. With relation to GCD based data, Positional accuracy is expressed as a code, and is found in the attribute label 'ptreliability' contained in the GCD layer. This attribute refers to the point reliability/accuracy of the nodes upon which LLI is built as well as that of the GCD points. Other Source data derived from other Federal, State, and county sources as a rule did not address positional accuracy. Positional accuracy was determined from metadata statements if available.OR/WA BLM1995Portland, OROR BLM1200GCDB flat files1995publication dateGCDBLines, points, and attributes; supplied for the State of Oregon by the BLM Oregon State Office.OR/WA BLMUnknownGovernment Land Records, and USGS QuadsWODDBWestern Oregon Digital Data Base Lines, points, and attributes; supplied for the State of Oregon by the BLM Oregon State Office.Clallam County, Washingtonhttp://www.clallam.net/directory/departments.htmlonlineClallam County, Washingtonhttp://www.clallam.net/directory/departments.htmlonlineDouglas County, Washingtonhttp://www.douglascountywa.net/departments/tls/gis/default.asponlineFranklin County, Washingtonhttp://gis.co.franklin.wa.us/onlineFranklin County, Washingtonhttp://gis.co.franklin.wa.us/onlineGrays Harbor County, WashingtononlineKlickitat County, Washingtonhttp://klickitatcounty.org/onlineLewis County, Washingtonhttp://maps.lewiscountywa.gov/maps/maplib_index.htmlonlinePierce County, Washingtonhttp://www.co.pierce.wa.us/pc/interactive.htmonlineSnohomish County, Washingtonhttp://www1.co.snohomish.wa.us/Departments/Information_Services/onlineThurston County, Washingtonhttp://www.geodata.org/online.htmonlineWhatcom Countyhttp://www.whatcomcounty.us/pds/planning/gis/gisdata.jsponlineYakima County, WashingtonData was assembled using information from the Oregon State Office and from various federal, state, and county agencies. When data from multiple sources covered the same area, the data was then assessed for best quality content and accuracy. Priorities were determined for acceptance. Data with positional accuracy statements were first choice (GCDB data). Data with accuracy statements in the metadata were second, and data without accuracy statements was the third priority for acceptance. The data was then combined with and edge matched to previously accepted data and adjusted to conform to the topology rules.GCDBWODBBTim KeckOR/WA BLM - Oregon State OfficeLand Surveyor, 957.3 GCDB Sectionmailing address

Any overlaps with existing Oregon data in LEGAL_DESCRIPTION_ARC were resolved by deleting features from LEGAL_DESCRIPTION_ARC. Field VERSION_NAME of the Washington data was filled with the value "InitialLoad". Values in Washington fields were translated to corresponding LEGAL_DESCRIPTION_ARC fields using crosswalk table approved by data steward Tim Keck. Washington data loaded into LEGAL_DESCRIPTION_ARC. Edge-match of data along the Oregon and Washington border was completed by Erin Frostad using GCDB points.20091023CA BLMhttp://www.blm.gov/ca/st/en/prog/cadastral/gcdbpage.html12000GCDB flat filesGCDBLines, points, and attributes; supplied for the State of California and Nevada by the BLM California State Office.Tim KeckOR/WA BLM - Oregon State OfficeLand Surveyor, 957.3 GCDB Sectionmailing address
