Abstract: This data set delineates the boundaries of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service geographic Regions. The dataset was created as a geographic representation of the Regional administrative boundaries of the US Fish and Wildlife Service at a very coarse scale. The boundaries were created using the ArcGIS shoreline dataset from approximately 1995. This dataset should not be used for legal purposes or at small scales and does not accurately denote the shorelines of the united states. The Regional Boundaries data set is managed by the FWS Headquarters Information Resources and Technology Management, Branch of Geospatial Data Management. The complete data and metadata can be accessed here: https://catalog.data.gov/dataset/us-fish-and-wildlife-service-regional-boundaries. This data set is a graphical representation and has limitations of accuracy as determined by, among others, the source, scale and resolution of the data. DOI Interior Regions / Regional Boundaries (https://fws.maps.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=309aa728d6c041ceaefc1526a409b5d1).
