  Title:
    Ownership of the Belt-Sand Coulee Coal Mine Areas, Montana, 1996
  Publication place: Helena, Montana
  Publisher: Montana State Library
Abstract:
  These data were registered to a rectangular public land survey grid and then transformed to partially match actual public land survey polygons. Some of the data are still more than 600 meters from their correct positions and the data should not be shown on maps.
  These data are rural ownership parcel polygons for the Belt-Stockett-Sand Coulee area southeast of Great Falls, Montana. Owner parcels are not shown in the towns. The data are based on linework digitized by the Cascade County office of the Natural Resources Conservation Service, with polygon topology and ownership information added from Department of Revenue records by GeoData Services, Inc.
Purpose:
  These data were registered to a rectangular public land survey grid and then transformed to partially match actual public land survey polygons. Some of the data are still more than 600 meters from their correct positions and the data should not be shown on maps.
  These data were produced to support mine reclamation efforts of the Reclamation Division of the Montana Department of Environmental Quality.
