Attribute:
Attribute_Label: STATE
Attribute_Definition:
USFS State code, value=8 for all sites in Colorado.
Attribute_Definition_Source:
USFS
Attribute:
Attribute_Label: UTM_ZONE
Attribute_Definition:
Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) Zone in which the feature is located. Value=13. Early in the project this value was included so that areas west of 108 degrees west longitude could be uniquely located. UTM coordinates are not unique but are tied to the zone in which they reside. The western boundary of zone 13, which covers most of Colorado, falls at 108 west longitude. It was later realized that all GIS data could be stored in zone 13 without danger of duplicating values, as a result it was decided to set this value to 13 in recognition of the fact that all GIS files are stored in UTM.
Attribute_Definition_Source:
USFS
Attribute:
Attribute_Label: XUTM
Attribute_Definition:
Unique X coordinate based on the X coordinate of the lower left corner of the 1000 meter UTM grid containing the majority of the inventory area. This value will range from about 138 to 765 depending on the longitude of the site.

USFS
Attribute:
Attribute_Label: YUTM
Attribute_Definition:
