Chad Fizzell, & Jeremy Jones vector digital data Data will be continue to be updated and changed on a year to monthly basis. The State of Michigan Conservation Easement dataset was constructed in order to spatially keep track of conservation easements as they are observed on the ground. All data was constructed from legal meets and bounds on file at the Department of Environmental Quality. Our hope is that this data set will be used by others to protect, conserve, and construct wetlands around the county. Michigan Department of Environmental Quality (MDEQ) digitized field map of the conservation easements (easement) is intended to be used as a visual aid to assist field staff in identifying in general the size, shape, and location of the easement boundaries. The locations are based upon land surveys that have been converted to a geographic information system. Some of the easement shapefiles had to be manipulated to reference known landmarks (roads, rivers) as depicted on aerial photos to best reflect the areas the easements were intended to cover. Therefore, since accuracy of the data may vary, all polygons should be used to approximate the easement boundary lines and should not be used to determine jurisdictional boundaries. In work Quarterly -89.534156 -82.187405 47.204621 41.701541 None Dataset should be used not to determine legal boundaries of Conservation easements, but as a tool for visual confirmation of location and study.
