The Forest Service uses the most current and complete data available. GIS data and product accuracy may vary. They may be: developed from sources of differing accuracy, accurate only at certain scales, based on modeling or interpretation, incomplete while being created or revised, etc. Using GIS products for purposes other than those for which they were created, may yield inaccurate or misleading results. It is highly recommended that before any conclusions or analysis is processed using this data that the data be discussed with a resource specialist in the particular field. The Forest Service reserves the right to correct, update, modify, or replace, GIS products without notification.

Process_Description:
Data came as digital line files scanned from 1:24000 quads. Quads were edgematched to each other using TontoCAD and LT Dos. The quads were then imported into ARC/Info, built into polygon coverages, attributed, and appended. Edited by Brent Linder and Dave Emery.

Process_Step:
Process_Description:
Land Type Association regions are partialy completed. Associations are aggregated in a two step process. First step is an electronic aggregation by model, assigning lt to lta where possible. Second step is a manual assignment by soil specialist. Step two was done project by project as needed. Some land types are specific to a land type association. Some land types are not specific, inclusion into an lta is based on location and other characteristics. Detailed information on the land type / land type association should be obtained from the Clearwater Forest SOil Scientist.

2004/2005, Colleen Fahy worked with Jim Mital to complete the LTA's for the roaded area of the Forest (North Fork +), Wilderness still has no LT's but now has LTA based on landform, slope & aspect. New LTA groups not yet added to the Forest LTA description ta
