Abstract
This polygon data layer represents Field Tracts for Dane County, Wisconsin in 1997. The dataset was originally published by the Dane County and Information Office in 1997 as Coverage format. AGSL Staff converted to shapefile and simplified the data for ease of use.[This layer is a polygon coverage that delineates the field tract boundaries, divided by township, for Dane County at 1:12,000 scale. The coverage's were created by digitizing off of Mylar plots of the parcel boundaries that was registered over an orthophoto. The fields were then delineated by tracing arcs from the parcel coverage. The line coding coincides with the line coding from the parcel coverage.]
Purpose
This layer is intended for reference and mapping purposes and may be used for basic applications such as viewing, querying, and map output production or to provide a basemap to support graphical overlays and analysis with other spatial data.
