Through June 30, 1995 the Division of Land (DOL) RS 2477 Project staff researched the historical use on over 1,200 trails. Of these trails, about 600 were deemed to qualify as RS 2477 ROW. DOL staff transferred these trails from historical maps onto 1:63,360 USGS quadrangle maps and sent them to Support Services Division, Land Records Information Section (LRIS) in Anchorage to be digitized and modified for a statewide coverage.
Since 1995 the Division of Mining, Land and Water has made updates to the data. Trails digitized by the Technical Data and Management Section, then reviewed by Northern Region staff were added.
