    Description: 
      Abstract: 
      Wetlands and deepwater habitats of Illinois in the 1980's based on U.S. 
      Fish and Wildlife Service definitions. These are county by county line 
      coverages. 
      Purpose: 
      Appropriate for use on local and regional thematic analysis. Data are not 
      accurate enough to be used as a geodetic or engineering base. 
      Supplemental_Information: 
      The path to these data sets is *path_name_suppressed*/wtldsln where 
      <county_name> should be replaced with the name of the county of interest. 
      Longer county names have been truncated to eight characters.

      Ground condition, based on high-altitude photography from 1980 to 1987.

    Wetlands and deepwater habitat identified as of 1980-1987 (depending on 
    location) and based on the definitions of USFWS at the time of database 
    construction. Many farmed wetlands were not digitized. Due to the dynamics 
    of wetland systems, boundaries and classifications change over time.

 ACRES:   lines = LENGTH * 30 ft width / 43,560

 * NOTE:  The lines represented in the database are wetlands
          AND deepwater habitats.
          If only wetland information is desired, wetland
          codes must be reselected from the coverages.
          Deepwater habitat is identified by L1, and R2
          or R3 with OW, RB, or UB classes.
