- Description:
-
- Abstract:
-
This map layer shows Indian lands of the United States. Only areas of
640 acres or more are included. Federally-administered lands within a
reservation are included for continuity; these may or may not be
considered part of the reservation and are simply described with their
feature type and the administrating Federal agency. This is an updated
version of the December 2005 map layer.
- Purpose:
-
These data are intended for geographic display and analysis at the
national level, and for large regional areas. The data should be
displayed and analyzed at scales appropriate for 1:2,000,000-scale
data. No responsibility is assumed by the National Atlas of the United
States in the use of these data.

-
- Logical_Consistency_Report:
-
Using ESRI's ArcInfo GIS software, the map layer was checked for label
errors, dangling nodes, and intersections. Polygon topology was built
for the map layer.
- Completeness_Report:
-
This map layer includes Indian reservation polygon features for the
United States. The minimum map resolution is 640 acres or one square
mile. Generally, features under this size are not shown.

- Process_Description:
-
Working in Arc/INFO, Indian reservations and Federal lands internal
to them were extracted from the National Atlas Federal Lands map
layer. Isolated features under 640 acres were deleted. Attributes for
feature type, name, administering agency, State, and State FIPS codes
were retained. Adjacent Indian reservations having the same feature
type, name, and administering agency were merged. State attributes of
merged Indian reservations were then updated. Names for non-Indian
lands were deleted. For polygons without label points, the points
were created and the polygons were assigned a null value.
