<DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><DIV><P STYLE="margin:0 0 0 0;"><SPAN><SPAN>The DNR Bureau of Watershed Management (WT) is the custodian for the state's dam inventory, which is maintained in a relational database. The inventory includes locational information for over 4,900 large and small dams in Wisconsin, including approximately 1,000 abandoned or removed dams. The original geographic reference for dams was Public Land Survey System (PLSS) township, range, section, and quarter-quarter section. The GIS data layer was originally created from a download of this locational data from the Dam Safety Program’s database in 2002. Each point was then visited individually and moved to a more accurate location against the 1:24k Hydrography layer and assigned Wisconsin Transverse Mercator (WTM) coordinates to facilitate the use of these data with other Department GIS data. Some dam points were not moved from the original PLSS location if there was no matching water feature on the 24K hydro layer. </SPAN></SPAN></P><P><SPAN /></P></DIV></DIV></DIV> |
