Section 1: Overview
Originator:Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR)
Title:
DNR Hydrography - Muskie Lakes
Abstract:
This layer shows Minnesota's muskie lakes. Criteria for identification includes lakes having an active muskie management plan, lake plan, muskie long-range plan, and/or where muskie is cited as a primary or secondary species.
Muskie lakes are classified as Native, Introduced, and Introduced-Hybrid waters on this layer. Note that muskie rivers (e.g., Mississippi, Big Fork, Little Fork, St. Croix, Kettle, Snake, Prairie, Rainy - International Falls to Baudette) are not included in this layer.
Purpose:
To support planning, fisheries management, research and other resource-related activities with impact on muskie lakes. Also supports recreational identification of these resources.

Section 2: Data Quality
Attribute Accuracy:
Logical Consistency:
Completeness:
Complete
Horizontal Positional Accuracy:
Polygons have been improved by on-screen digitizing over DOQ and FSA imagery.
Vertical Positional Accuracy:
N/A
Lineage:
The lake polygons are derived from the Open Water feature class of the DNR Hydrography SDE Dataset.

Section 5: Attributes
Overview:
The first set of attributes (DNR_HYDRO_ID through PUBLISH_DATE) are derived from and consistent with the Open Water feature class of the DNR Hydrography SDE Dataset. The remaining attributes are specific to this layer.
