<p>This data shows anthropogenic polyline disturbance features. Features were digitized using high resolution satellite imagery and orthophotos. Features from the National Road Network (NRN) and the National Railway Network (NRWN) were adapted and included. The following data was not included in the dataset: proposed features.</p>

<p>*WIDTH_M: Linear features must be attributed with a width measurement. The width of the feature can be estimated in meters, rounded to the nearest whole number.</p>
<p> **WIDTH_CLASS: This field employs a classification scheme used by previous contractors. This classification scheme was discussed and agreed upon by Mammoth Mapping and the Project Manager in 2011-2013. The width values are the following.</p>
