Abstract

Geospatial Recreational Trails for the United States
Track: National Mapping
Authors: Larry Davis

The management of trails is a business requirement for many Federal agencies. Trails information is available on paper maps, in brochures and in sometimes in digital form. Recreational trails information is distributed among multiple owners with no common enterprise architecture to support efficient management. The goal is to explore ways to assimilate existing recreational trail information leading to the eventual establishment of an geospatial National Trails Database for the country.
