A 1:100,000 polygon features class representing public, conservation and trust land ownership in the state of California. Developed for the California Resources Agency's Legacy Project, this dataset depicts ownership features as submitted by major public, trust, and non-profit groups in the state. PCTL05_2 is an update to the Legacy Project's PCTL05_1, PCTL04_1 and PCTL03_1 geographic datasets, which were built upon a prior effort by the USBR to map public lands. Contributors to past datasets were contacted with requests for any updated lands.
The changes to PCTL05_2 involved fixing a misalignment of the CA Dept. of Parks and Recreation data that occurred in the development of PCTL05_1.
Agencies that had ownership changes or boundary adjustments in PCTL05_1 were BLM (including NPS, USBR, and SLC), USFWS, CDFG, CDF, and CDPR. Major changes for the PCTL05_1 update included changes in data supplied by BLM. The changes were due to the agency's switch to a GCBD-based PLS. CDF, CDPR, USFWS, and CDFG also had minor changes.
