Attribute information was mostly taken from the corresponding paper maps. In some situations, however, more accurate attribute information was found in paper records (old files, ledger books, etc.) and this information was used. Some attributes could not be determined from either the paper maps or any other files, and as such, are left blank.
Boundaries were traced from scanned and rectified paper maps; as such, any errors present in the paper maps were retained, if not magnified. These boundarys, therefore, are only relative locations of the stands.
Sections that appeared to be incorrect were checked against paper records (old files, ledger books, etc.) and, if possible, GPS data or personal knowledge of an area. In cases in which the latter files were available, they were assumed to be more accurate than the paper maps.

Paper map
Paper maps were the most frequently relied upon data source for the creation of this shapefile. In instances where GPS was available or ledgers gave conflicting information, these other sources were used as there is likely high error in the old paper maps.
