Description: Forest Service Enterprise Data Warehouse (EDW) Surface Ownership updated with saltwater shoreline Mean High Water Combined Source (MHW_CS). Forest service Shoreline Integration Tool was employed to accomplish this update. Note, Forest service land areas were updated to MHW_CS shoreline, while non-forest service areas were not. The Forest Service prepared this dataset to support the Tongass National Forest (TNF) plan revision GIS analysis. This 2025 update builds upon the 2024 TNF forest plan assessment analysis incorporating all available NOAA CUSP shoreline updates, including additional Lidar derived shoreline. Forest Service Lands Team is updating Land Status Record System (LSRS) in 2024/2025 with expected completion and publication to EDW in 2026. These data may not be used to determine title, ownership, legal descriptions or boundaries, legal jurisdiction, or restrictions that may be in place on either public or private land.
