These informal regions are not definitive boundaries nor are they representative of any jurisdictional delineations of territory. These subregions are based upon spatially coherent subdivisions of California Department of Fish and Wildlife's seven geographically-defined administrative regions. A circular polygon has been added to the west of california in order to provide a spatial gateway for accessing statewide datasets and the full drought monitoring report.

Version 6.2 (Build 9200) ; Esri ArcGIS 10.5.1.7333 Assembled the layer from the following sources: 24K Counties (cnty24k97_1 - the official CMCC/CDF-FRAP 1997 version); 100K Major Roads (mjroads - from USBR Sacramento, unknown publication date); 24K Legal Delta Boundary (delta_legal - from DWR, published 20010607); Coastlines for Anacapa and Santa Barbara Islands from the 24K California Coastline layer (State Lands Commission, published 1994); Three Nautical Mile Line (Approved Maritime Limits for California, USA) version 1.0, published 2005; and Three Nautical Mile Line (Approved Maritime Limits for Oregon and Washington, USA) version 1.0, published 2005. A small gap of missing data existed between the CA and OR/WA Three Nautical Mile Line boundaries off the north coast of CA. This gap was filled in using interpolated data. 20061101 California Department of Fish and Game Will Patterson geodata@dfg.ca.gov Some inaccuracies were discovered in the 24K county boundary linework and were corrected. The specific corrections were as follows: - San Francisco county boundary corrected to extend across the mouth of San Francisco bay instead of along the coastline. - Small changes along the Orange/Riverside county boundary confirmed per documented linework corrections in another dataset (co100a/county100k from the former Teale Data Center GIS Solutions Group). - Legal county boundary descriptions were also researched at ( http://www.leginfo.ca.gov ) 20061122 California Department of Fish and Game Will Patterson geodata@dfg.ca.gov Added names for Regions 3 and 4. 20061215 California Department of Fish and Game Will Patterson geodata@dfg.ca.gov Corrected region names as the official revised names were announced today. 20070104 California Department of Fish and Game Will Patterson geodata@dfg.ca.gov Edited title of dataset in metadata. No change to dataset filename. 20070611 California Department of Fish and Game Will Patterson geodata@dfg.ca.gov Previously there were 2 versions of the DFG Regions layer, one at high resolution, and one at medium resolution. The medium resolution one has been discontinued. The high resolution one has been renamed and is now the only DFG Regions layer. Also, some small inaccuracies in the DFG Region boundaries in various locations were corrected using linework from the current 24K county boundary layer (cnty24k09_1 - the official CAL FIRE/FRAP 2009 version). These corrections were done by DFG's Josh Little. 20110101 California Department of Fish and Game Will Patterson geodata@dfg.ca.gov Some problems with coastal linework were discovered (probably accidentally introduced in a previous version) and were corrected by DFG's Lori "Guphy" Gustafson. Additional attributes were also added to faciliate driving directions and web page links for DFG web applications. 20110701 California Department of Fish and Game Will Patterson geodata@dfg.ca.gov Updated the attributes ADDRESS, CITY, ZIP_CODE, PHONE, and DFG_URL with the current information for each DFG Region. Re-calcuated geometry for ACRES attribute, and removed AREA and PERIMETER attributes (equivalent area and perimeter attributes can be generated automatically when the dataset is imported into a geodatabase). 20110811 California Department of Fish and Game Will Patterson geodata@dfg.ca.gov Updated dataset for Department name change 1/1/2013 from California Department of Fish and Game (DFG) to California Department of Fish and Widlife (CDFW). Renamed DFG_URL field to URL. 20130301 California Department of Fish and Wildlife Will Patterson geodata@wildlife.ca.gov Vector GT-polygon composed of chains 15 NAD 1983 California Teale Albers 34.0 40.5 -120.0 0.0 0.0 -4000000.0 coordinate pair 0.000000003754707655900803 0.000000003754707655900803 meter D North American 1983 GRS 1980 6378137.0 298.257222101 ds2820 OBJECTID Internal feature number.
