The majority of land within the external boundaries of the National Wildlife Refuges in Alaska is in the public domain and is managed by U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service. There are however, large tracts of privately-owned land, land that is managed by other Federal agencies, and land owned by the State of Alaska. The U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, Region 7 Division of Realty has digitized all land status within the Region 7 (Alaska) external refuge boundaries.

For complete details regarding the land status contained in the downloadable files listed below, refer to Understanding the Land Status.

Land Status within National Wildlife Refuges (Region 7 - Alaska)

The Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act of December 2, 1980 defined the external boundaries of 16 National Wildlife Refuges and 10 Designated Refuge Wilderness Areas within the State of Alaska. The USFWS Region 7 Division of Realty has digitized these boundaries and they can be downloaded from the links shown below.

Note that the boundaries available here represent the outermost, external boundary of the refuges and wilderness areas. Internal boundaries between refuge/wilderness and private parcels of land are not depicted in these files. For the boundaries of private parcels within the external refuge/wilderness boundaries, refer to https://www.fws.gov/GISdownloads/R7/GIS-Data/Land-Status/Generalized.

Refuge and wilderness boundaries are available in three formats:

ESRI File Geodatabase and ESRI Shapefile

The file geodatabase format can be used in ESRI's ArcGIS program. The shapefiles can be used in ArcGIS, other GIS mapping programs that support shapefiles, and other programs, such as Google Earth Pro, which support the shapefile format.

GPX

The GPX format is a universal format for use with GPS units. You can load the refuge and wilderness GPX files into your GPS for use in the field.

Below are the boundaries of the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service Guide Use Areas within the National Wildlife Refuges in the State of Alaska. Note that the boundaries available here represent the outermost, external boundary of the guide use areas. Internal boundaries between refuge/wilderness and private parcels of land are not depicted in these files. For the boundaries of private parcels within the guide use areas, refer to the online USFWS Region 7 Land Mapper, or the downloadable land status file at https://www.fws.gov/GISdownloads/R7/GIS-Data/Land-Status/Generalized.

Guide Use Area boundaries are available in two formats:

ESRI Shapefile

Shapefiles can be used in ArcGIS, other GIS mapping programs that support shapefiles, and other programs, such as Google Earth Pro, which support the shapefile format.

KMZ

The KMZ format is the native format for Google Earth. This format can also be used by other programs, such as ArcGIS Earth, that support KML/KMZ files.

ArcGIS Earth is a free program, similar in function to Google Earth, however ArcGIS Earth often has higher-resolution satellite imagery and aerial photography than does Google Earth.
