### Summary

    This polygon depicts simplified boundaries of the Nowitna National Wildlife Refuge in Alaska for quick reference.

### Description

    This polygon feature was generalized from U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service cadastral data, specifically the Approved Acquisition Boundaries (available at https://ecos.fws.gov/ServCat/Reference/Profile/131755). A subset of this national data set was first exported to include only features within the Alaska Region. This new feature class was then projected to a local coordinate system, NAD83 Alaska Albers. Polygons representing Nowitna NWR were exported to a new feature class, which--after removing small polygons less than 100 square kilometers (using Esri's Eliminate Polygon Part tool)--was further simplified using Esri's Generalize tool, with a simplification tolerance of 25 meters. The resulting polygon feature has 341 vertices. Prior to exporting as geoJSON, the feature class was projected from NAD83 Alaska Albers to WGS 84.This feature class depicts simplified boundaries of the Nowitna National Wildlife Refuge in Alaska and warrants the following limitations: 1) must not be used for official or legal  purposes such as acreage computations or the field location of Refuge boundaries. 2) intended to be used only for small-scale (<1:5,000,000) depiction of the Refuge boundaries.If you require the official, full-resolution boundaries of the National Wildlife Refuges in Alaska, you may download them at https://www.fws.gov/r7/nwr/Realty/data/LandMappers/Public/Help/HTML/NationalWildlifeRefugeandWildern.html
