Boundary, name: the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service refuge boundary layer.
States and territories: computed by intersecting the boundary with Census state polygons and coarse outlines of the territories and outlying islands. A place is listed when it holds at least one percent of the area. A boundary that touches no outline is listed under the nearest one.
Acreage: geodesic area of the published polygon. The agency’s official acreage can differ where the boundary includes water, easements or inholdings. This unit is mostly water, so the figure is the area inside the boundary rather than land.
