This shape file depicts the location of current easements on tide and submerged land issued by the State of Alaska. This dataset may be of interest to the conservation community because it contains areas that may be subject to some level of disturbance to or alteration of native vegetation or biotic community under the activities defined for this easement. Each location is represented as a linear feature and has an associated Land Administration System (LAS) file-type and file-number which serves as an index to associated LAS case-file information. Tidal easement features were converted from the digital (ArcInfo) files used to produce the state status plats. Additional LAS case-file and customer information may...
