The Land Resources Division (LRD) is responsible for the Official Boundary, Legislative Maps, Acreage Calculations and Land Status Maps for all NPS park units.

Lessons Learned w/o QAQC:

Incorrect boundaries in GMPs

Incorrect acreage calculations

National Park Service activities on private inholdings

Planned inventory, monitoring and resource survey projects unaware of possible acquisition or boundary expansions/adjustments.

RED- Boundary used in GMPGreen- Actually park boundary

Having a central boundary conversion provides the opportunity to resolve shared boundaries.

Boundaries are dynamic

Last 10 years:

►73 park units have had legislative boundary expansions.This does not include minor boundary adjustments.►Over 2.7 million acres have been added to the boundaries.►Over 11,244 Tracts have been acquired, totaling over 1.1 million acres.►18 New park units►NPS has interests in 93.14% of the properties in legislative boundaries.

Technology Improvements►Software (e.g., Cadastral Fabric)►Survey equipment (e.g., GPS Total Stations)
