Description: 1930s land use/land cover survey of what is now the federal land
Last Update: 1994
Data Type: Polygon
Source Data: Bordner Survey, Wisconsin Dept. of Agriculture
Source Data Date: 1930s
Source Data Scale: 1:63360 (1 inch = 1 mile)
Source Data Projection:
In the 1930s the State Department of Agriculture conducted the
Wisconsin Land Inventory, also known as the Bordner Survey. The
inventory was published by county. Photocopies of the pages covering
Whitestown and Stark Townships were obtained from the Department
of Natural Resources Research Library in Madison. Land use/land
cover types are mapped at a scale of one inch to one mile. In
digitizing the surveys, section corners were used as control points.
The survey should serve as a crude approximation of historical
land cover for the early 1930s.
