Forest Stewardship Plans
Description of Plans Included in SAP Maps
Two categories of Forest Stewardship Plans were compiled and mapped for SAP Maps 2, 3, 6, and 7: (1)
Existing Stewardship Plans and (2) FY 2008 Stewardship Plans. For both categories, polygons of tract
boundaries and centroids were compiled.
Existing Stewardship Plans (polygons) included all Forest Stewardship Plans for the period 2004 - 2007.
Boundaries for all Forest Stewardship plan tracts were products of heads-up digitizing in Arcview 3.2 over
either black-and-white digital orthophotos (DOQ’s), FSA-NAIP color orthophotos, or USGS digital
quadrangles (DRG’s). Existing Stewardship Plans are shown as black points on SAP Maps 2, 3, and 6. Points
were used because when polygons are used (with the proper outline width of 0), they essentially disappear on a
map showing the entire extent Kentucky. Because points were used on Maps 2, 3, and 6, black polygons are
shown on Map 7, which zooms in on one typical Kentucky county.
FY 2008 Stewardship Plans includes all plans developed in federal fiscal year 2008. Polygon shapefile data
created by KY Division of Forestry Service Foresters and consulting foresters were merged into one master
shapefile. FY 2008 Stewardship Plans are shown as red points on SAP Maps 2, 3, and 6 and as red polygons on
Map 7.
All computations and all map products required for the SAP map series were performed in ArcGIS 9.2.
