Data_Quality_Information:
  Attribute_Accuracy:
    Attribute_Accuracy_Report: Each polygon has attributes of unique CSP Unit and Subunit names and administrative codes, management status codes, and system-generated (not official), approximate acreages.  CSP names and codes were compiled with the best available information and are in effect beginning in the fiscal year of their release.  CSP unit classifications, names, management status, and codes are subject to change without notice.
  Logical_Consistency_Report: The Operational Boundary (Opbdys) is a logical construction based on parcel ownership and management information maintained by the Division (was Office) of Acquisition and Real Property Services (OARPS).  In geodatabase implementation, the feature dataset Opbdys participates in a topology with the feature dataset MgmtParcels.  A new feature dataset, StPrkMgmtParcels, is used to update MgmtParcels with the best available information, which is then relayed by OARPS to the Enterprise GIS Team as Land Ownership Records (LOR) in AutoCad MAP format.  The publicly downloadable version of the boundaries dataset is a commonly used subset of the above.  This dataset does not represent official or legal property boundary determinations or descriptions and is under continuous revision and subject to change without notice.

  Completeness_Report: All major Units and Properties of the California State Park System are represented in this dataset.  Disclaimer: This version of California State Park (CSP) boundaries does not represent official or legal boundary determinations or descriptions.  Maps derived from the GIS version are intended for general reference, planning, and/or study purposes.  A quality assurance / quality control (QA/QC) report or formal completeness and accuracy assessment has not been completed on this dataset.  CSP names, codes, and management designations are in effect beginning in the State of California Fiscal Year of their release.  Boundaries are in continual revision and are subject to change without notice.

  Positional_Accuracy:
    Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy:
      Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report: A formal accuracy assessment was not performed.  CSP boundary horizontal accuracy is estimated to be consistent with that of 1:24000-scale USGS quads.
    Vertical_Positional_Accuracy:
      Vertical_Positional_Accuracy_Report: No vertical (elevation) data are included in this dataset.  California State Park elevations range from a low of 230 feet below sea level in the Salton Sea State Recreation Area (SRA), to sea-level in State Beaches (SB) and related properties, to a high of 10,804 feet on the summit of Mount San Jacinto in Mount San Jacinto State Park (SP).

      Process_Description: The GIS versions of CSP boundary polygons do not represent official or legal boundary determinations or descriptions.  The polygons are assembled by the CSP Enterprise GIS Team from the best available sources, including CSP Surveys Section data, County Assessor parcel data, historical departmental Land Ownership Record Maps, and USGS quads in both digital and hardcopy.  The CSP Enterprise GIS Team converts the source data into digital geospatial data in shapefile, enterprise geodatabase, and Google Earth KMZ formats.  Selected subsets of the data are compressed into ZIP format and posted on a public download site.  Download content is subject to change without notice.

A state wilderness if further defined to mean an area of relatively undeveloped state-owned or leased lands which has retained its primeval character and influence or has been substantially restored to a near-natural  appearance, without permanent improvements or human habitation, other than semi-improved campgrounds, or structures which existed at the time of classification of the area as a state wilderness and which the State Park and Recreation Commission has determined may be maintained and used in a manner compatible with the preservation of the wilderness environment, or primitive latrines, which is protected and managed so as to preserve its natural conditions, and which: a) Appears generally to have been affected primarily by the forces of nature, with the imprint of man's work substantially unnoticeable., b) Has outstanding opportunities for solitude or a primitive and unconfined type of recreation, c) consists of at least 5,000 acres of land, either by itself or in combination with contiguous areas possessing wilderness characteristics, or is of sufficient size as to make practicable its preservation and use in an unimpaired condition. D) may also contain ecological, geological, or other features of scientific, educational, scenic, or historical value.  State wildernesses may be established within the boundaries of other state park system units.

          Enumerated_Domain_Value_Definition: Areas of State Parks, leased from the State Lands Commission, or acquired in fee, and identified as underwater park areas.  The term "underwater park has long been used informally by the Department and has appeared in many publications and documents.  It has, however no official (legislative or administrative) basis or standing.  These underwater parks do not have specific individual names; they are an integral part of the classified units in which they are situated.  In 2000, the Legislature created five new unit classifications which apply only to underwater or marine areas.  It is expected that, in the future most of the State Park System's "underwater parks" will receive one of these new classifications and thereby will become individual units separate from the units of which they are now a part.
