| Abstract | This data set identifies publicly administered lands in Minnesota. Land ownership data, current as of 1983 or earlier, was collected by 40-acre parcel for federal, state, metropolitan commission, and tax-forfeited lands. The data was compiled cooperatively by the Minnesota Land Management Information Center (LMIC) and the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR). A related printed report contains numerous state maps and summary tables: http://www.lmic.state.mn.us/pdf/MN_Public_Lands_1983.pdf . |

| Ordering Instructions | The data set is available either via free download from the Internet or on CD: 1. Internet option: This data set is distributed on the internet by clicking below after Online Linkage. Doing so will tell your browser to start downloading a 'ZIP' file (1.1 megabytes) which will contain the following: - The statewide files in EPPL7, ERDAS and GeoTIFF formats, each format in a separate folder. - Documentation for the MLMIS data collection; ownership data is described on pp. 25-27. - Metadata (.htm) file for the data set - NOTICE.RTF, an important notice about this data set that can be read by most word processing software, and an ascii text version of the same notice (NOTICE.TXT) After downloading this 'zip' file, use an unzipping utility such as WinZip to uncompress the files listed above (in WinZip, make sure that the 'use folders names' box is checked). You can then delete file types that you do not need, if any. 2. CD option: Minnesota Public Lands, 1983 is part of the MGC100 data set. The MGC100 CD is available for $50 (pre-payment is required, either by check or purchase order); the data is free with the purchase of EPIC, the Windows-based interface to many capabilities of EPPL7 software. For more information about EPIC, EPPL7, or the MGC100 CD, see: http://www.mnplan.state.mn.us/EPPL7 or call 651-296-1201. |

| Lineage | During the 1981 State Legislative session, money was appropriated to the Department of Energy, Planning, and Development (DEPD) to begin an on-going inventory of summary land records. This project, funded by a grant recommended by the Legislative Commission on Minnesota Resources (LCMR), was coordinated by the Minnesota Land Management Information Center (LMIC). During the 1981-83 biennium, LMIC attempted to gather summary land record information for all federal land managing agencies, all non-DNR state agencies, and several regional commissions in the Twin Cities metropolitan area. The Land Bureau of the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) coordinated all records for DNR managed lands. DATA SOURCES: State ownership information was derived from a 1983 update of the DNR land ownership-land classification file, an operational catalogue of state ownership information maintained by the DNR. Recreation land in regional, township, and private ownership, current to 1983, was compiled by the DNR for the State Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan (SCORP) inventory of recreational facilities. Federal ownership data were compiled by LMIC staff from the land ownership records of a variety of federal agencies: the U.S. Forest Service, National Park Service, Bureau of Land Management, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and Bureau of Indian Affairs. Except for BIA and Corps of Engineers data, which is current as of 1969, all federal ownership data are current as of 1983. CODING PROCEDURE: Minnesota Public Lands, 1983 is the product of separately coded ownership variables which were combined in 1983 by LMIC staff to produce the 1983 public ownership variable. DNR ownership records and SCORP data were encoded by the DNR, and then merged with Minnesota Land Management Information System (MLMIS) files using geocode matching procedures. Data on non-DNR-managed state lands, initially coded by the State Planning Agency in 1973, was updated by the DNR in 1978, and then merged with existing MLMIS ownership files via geocode matching. Federal land ownership information was coded by LMIC staff using a combination of manual map transfer/grid overlay and geocode matching procedures. The merging of these separate ownership files identified cells containing more than one public ownership designation, and these instances of multiple ownership were recorded as distinct classes in this coverage. |
