The Wisconsin area frame was constructed by visually interpreting satellite imagery (year 2000) to divide a state into homogenous land use areas (strata) based on percent cultivated. The strata are typically defined as low, medium or high percent cultivated, non-agricultural land, urban use, agri-urban, or water. The vector GIS boundaries of the strata usually follow identifiable features such as roads, railroads and waterways. The strata boundaries do not coincide with any political boundaries, with the exception of state boundaries. Purpose: These data are intended for geographic display and analysis at the state level. The data should be displayed and analyzed at a scale of 1:100,000 or smaller (e.g., 1:250,000, etc.). The strata data are provided "as is". USDA/NASS does not warrant results you may obtain using the strata data.

Data_Quality_Information: Logical_Consistency_Report: No checks for topological consistency were performed on this data set. Visual checks were performed on the attribute data. Completeness_Report: There are no known gaps in the data. There are several small islands belonging to BayField County that are omitted for generalization purposes. This data set includes the area in square miles and number of acres for each strata. The area sampling frame strata boundaries may not be coincident with strata boundaries of adjacent states.

The Wisconsin area frame was constructed for individual counties by visually interpreting satellite imagery and other digital data, and by utilizing ancillary data to divide the state into homogenous land use areas (strata) based on percent cultivated. Individual county-based strata files were merged into a single state file. The coordinates for the strata polygons were unprojected to geographic latitude and longitude (decimal degrees). The spatial data file format is Environmental Systems Research Institute's ArcView shapefile format.
