    UPDATE 2003:
    June 2003:  Partial spatial update completed. Quad tiles with spatial editing:
    Chelan, Clarkston, Colville, Goldendale, Hermiston, Mount Baker, Pullman, Sauk
    River, Snoqualmie Pass

    UPDATE 2002:
    Coverage is no longer maintained in a tiled library system, but as a single
    state-wide coverage.
    September 2002:  Items NAME, OWNER1, OWNER2, MANAGER1, MANAGER2 and
    MANAGEMENT.TYPE were added.  Most fields were populated; the remaining fields
    to be populated during future updates to the data.
    Partial spatial update completed. Quad tiles with spatial editing: Bellingham,
    Chewelah, Connell, Coulee Dam, Hood River, Moses Lake, Nespelem, Omak, Oroville,
    Ritzville,  Rosalia, Spokane, Vancouver, Wenatchee

    UPDATE 2001:
    Name change in Feb 2001 to rename mpl to ndmpl, to stress that no DNR land is
    portrayed in this layer.  This update only affects attributes.  No spatial
    editing was performed.
    Partial spatial update completed. Quad tiles with spatial editing: Copalis Beach,
    Ilwaco, Mount Rainier, Priest Rapids, Port Townsend, Tacoma, Westport, Yakima

    UPDATE 2000
    All quad tiles have been updated for each public agency represented on that
    particular quad.  Much of the researched data was provided in a digital format,
    while some agencies provided hard copy maps showing ownership.  Data was updated
    from the best available sources.  The data will remain static until the next
    update.  Please see more information below.

    For identification of most recent update of individual 1:100 000 quads, see
    the index sheet at: /am/virgo1/plqindex/inprogcolor.gra or .eps.

    A FEW NOTES ON USAGE:
    This coverage is not put together with the same precision as the DNR's
    POCA data layer. It was originally assembled quickly and cheaply for
    use at a  small scale. Any use at a scale larger than 1:100,000 is not advised.

    The data is not connected to POCA, so as POCA arcs shift, NDMPL arcs remain
    static.

    The NDMPL data layer is a polygon coverage and does not contain arc attribute
    information for ownership boundaries.

    This data is only as good as what we get from other agencies. As we have
    updated and tried to improve this data, we have depended on other agencies
    to supply us with their best ownership information. Some agencies send us
    current digital information, some send us plats, some cannot send us anything
    for some or all of their properties. We do get different levels of cooperation
    and precision. Some data is more current than others.

    Conflicts between owners do occur and cannot always be resolved.

    For Indian Reservations, the proclamation boundaries are shown; There is
    normally no tribal ownership data shown within Indian Reservation boundaries.
    Numerous Tribes own land outside the reservation boundary.  These polygons are
    coded the same as the reservation polygons.

    Note that appears on the DNR 100k quads:

    NOTE TO MAP USERS -- This map was published by the Washington State
    Department of Natural Resources Resource Mapping Section in  as
    a general planning and management tool.  Public land ownership and
    recreation sites have been added and planimetric features have been
    updated from the best available sources.
    Extreme care was used during compilation of this map to insure accuracy.
    However, due to changes in ownership and the need to rely on outside
    sources of information, the Department of Natural Resources cannot
    accept responsibility for errors or omissions, and, therefore, there
    are no warranties which accompany this material.
