Description
	Abstract: Polygons digitized, using the BLM's Automated Digitizing System, from data transferred onto USGS quads.  Each polygon is labeled with the season during which the mule deer occupy the area represented by the polygon.

	Purpose: To represent digitally the mule deer ranges that exist on this 7.5 minute quad.  Data captured for the Piceance Resource Management Plan (PRMP).

	Data Quality Information


Attribute Accuracy
	Attribute Accuracy Report:  Created a check plot which was then visually verified by the wildlife biologist in a reinterative process until all errors are corrected and the dataset is accepted by the biologist.

Logical Consistency Report: Polygons are closed and adjacent polygons do not have identical attributes.

Completeness Report: Mule deer range for all seasons has been completely digitized for this quad.

Positional Accuracy
	Horizontal Positional Accuracy
		Horizontal Positional Accuracy Report: Mule deer habitat compiled based on field observations by BLMCSO and Colorado Division of Wildlife (CDOW) wildlife biologists.  Compiled data are transferred to Mylar overlays on top of USGS 7.5 minute quads.

	Entity and Attribute Information

Overview Description
	Entity and Attribute Overview:  Mule Deer Range consists of polygons used to identify seasonal range habitat for Mule deer.  Polygon attributes describe the season that the mule deer are found on the land represented by the polygon.  
	Entity and Attribute Detail Citation:  The attribute coding standards can be found listed in the Standard Theme Specifications Users Guide available through the Colorado State Office.
