Description: Maintained Landscapes in Yosemite National Park are areas and grounds documented in the Facility Management Software System (FMSS) as asset code 3100. MLs are distinguishable from natural areas in that they are often designed, planned, and constructed; they require regular recurring maintenance and an investment of labor and materials. They typically include engineered and built features, such as walls, fences, masonry walkways, irrigation systems, and maintained plantings (Pepper & Dolan, 2014).The dataset includes playground areas, cemeteries, shooting ranges, High Sierra Camps, swimming pool areas, campgrounds, orchards, recreation fields, stock camps, and stables as well as the Wawona Golf Course and Badger Pass Ski Area. These data are a representation of locations in FMSS. Where areas have physical or historical boundaries those are used to delineate the spatial area, but grounds with more amorphous or undefined physical boundaries are represented as a buffer of a relevant building point. Some areas are generalized base on the Yosemite Surface Area Basemap which derives from CAD files supplemented by addition EGIS datasets and Esri Imagery. The polygon type field captures the way the polygon is representing the location while the shape definition field contains more specific documentation about what that boundary represents. This dataset uses Core Data Standard from 08/10/2016. Two fields from the Building Data Standard from 12/15/2017 are used: Facility Use and Building Status, which has been modified to YOSE_LandscapeStatus. While data from FMSS may be used to populate some fields, the only direct link to FMSS is the FACLOCID field.
