The National Parks dataset is frequently updated by the National Park Service (NPS) and is part of the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT)/Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) National Transportation Atlas Database (NTAD). This dataset depicts National Park Service boundary data that was created by the Land Resources Division. NPS Director's Order #25 states: "Land status maps will be prepared to identify the ownership of the lands within the authorized boundaries of the park unit. These maps, showing ownership and acreage, are the 'official record' of the acreage of Federal and non-federal lands within the park boundaries. While these maps are the official record of the lands and acreage within the unit's authorized boundaries, they are not of survey quality and not intended to be used for survey purposes." As such this data is intended for use as a tool for GIS analysis. It is in no way intended for engineering or legal purposes.

Official style (.stylx) for ArcGIS Pro created by the National Park Service The original National Park Service style file was an attempt to create an easy way for users to style their cartographic products in ArcGIS ArcMap in a way that resembles an official NPS, Harpers Ferry Center (HFC) product. It has been updated for use in ArcGIS Pro by the GISC Cartography & Web Mapping Subcommittee, who addressed changes and additions to HFC cartography, but also longstanding issues with the style itself.How-to add styles to a ArcGIS Pro projectIRMA Reference Update Oct 2, 2021:Fixes the National Park Service North Arrow Adds HFC-styled scale bars.

NPWS Managed Land Other This combined dataset is for reporting purposes when it is deemed necessary to include all of the land that is managed by NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service. Area hectares of each polygon have been generated in this dataset to assist reporting. Please note that the GIS area calculation was performed using Lamberts Conic Conformal (LCC) projection. This GIS calculated area will not be the same as the gazetted area or acquired area. The following is the description of layers included: The NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) Estate database provides information on areas reserved under the NP&W Act 1974. Areas include National Parks, Nature Reserves, Regional Parks, State Conservation Areas, Aboriginal Areas, Historic Sites and Karst Conservation Reserves.
National parks and other nature institutions are committed to preserving and exhibiting natural areas and settings. Revenue is based on self-generated revenue, including admission fees, on-premise concession and accommodation sales, private donations and grants. This excludes congressional funding from taxes, even though this accounts for the majority of financial resources for national parks. These budgets play a significant role in determining the financial stability of national parks, as government allocations fluctuate from year to year, impacting the ability of these institutions to carry out essential maintenance, conservation and educational activities. Over the years to 2024, steady visitor rates and a surge in environmental awareness kept revenue afloat. The pandemic dampened profit during the period, but the reopening of the economy since then has significantly helped recovery. Since travel restrictions related to the pandemic have been lifted, a rise in domestic and international travel has contributed to revenue growth. Revenue has risen at an estimated CAGR of 1.1% over the past five years, reaching an estimated $1.0 billion in 2024. Over the past five years, tight budgets have forced some parks to close entirely, while others have reduced operating hours or services to compensate for decreased or inadequate funding. Some locations have increased or introduced admission fees or have bolstered on-site product and service offerings, resulting in revenue gains. While the pandemic resulted in substantial declines in travel late in the period, heightened travel in 2022 and 2023 helped bolster revenue growth, offsetting some of these operational costs. In 2024, revenue is expected to grow 1.9% as consumers continue to release pent-up demand for travel. Over the next five years, the industry will experience steady revenue growth. Budgetary issues and deficit-related matters are expected to temper industry profit. Increased visitation numbers will keep this industry growing as domestic and international travel are expected to increase in the outlook period. Per capita disposable income is expected to rise, contributing to increased National Parks spending. Revenue is forecast to grow at a CAGR of 1.8% over the next five years, reaching an estimated $1.1 billion in 2029.
This data set contains small-scale base GIS data layers compiled by the National Park Service Servicewide Inventory and Monitoring Program and Water Resources Division for use in a Baseline Water Quality Data Inventory and Analysis Report that was prepared for the park. The report presents the results of surface water quality data retrievals for the park from six of the United States Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) national databases: (1) Storage and Retrieval (STORET) water quality database management system; (2) River Reach File (RF3) Hydrography; (3) Industrial Facilities Discharges; (4) Drinking Water Supplies; (5) Water Gages; and (6) Water Impoundments. The small-scale GIS data layers were used to prepare the maps included in the report that depict the locations of water quality monitoring stations, industrial discharges, drinking intakes, water gages, and water impoundments. The data layers included in the maps (and this dataset) vary depending on availability, but generally include roads, hydrography, political boundaries, USGS 7.5' minute quadrangle outlines, hydrologic units, trails, and others as appropriate. The scales of each layer vary depending on data source but are generally 1:100,000.
