- Title:
- Maryland Protected Lands - MD Agricultural Land Preservation Foundation Easements [Maryland]
- Description:
- The Maryland Agricultural Land Preservation Foundation (MALPF), housed within the MarylandDepartment of Agriculture (MDA), protects agricultural lands through the use of perpetualeasements. This program was created by the Maryland General Assembly in 1977, is governedby the Agricultural Article, Sections 2-501 through 2-519 of the Annotated Code of Maryland.MALPF's primary purpose is to preserve productive agricultural land and woodland to providefor the continuing production of food and fiber for the citizens of Maryland. This isaccomplished by landowners voluntarily applying to sell an easement on their property througha competitive State-wide application process.MALPF easement boundaries are estimated based on property descriptions provided by MDA,aligned to MD iMap parcel polygons and supplemented with MdProperty View data to facilitate usewith vectorized parcel data. This GIS dataset is intended for general guidance and use onlyand is not designed as a substitute for legal survey. The coordinates displayed do notrepresent legal parcel corners and/or boundaries and they cannot be used for establishment ofor in lieu of legal land survey boundaries. In June 2019 new fields were added to facilitate the integration of this dataset with theProtected Areas Database of the United States (PAD-US). Attributes for these fields, which are identified below as PAD-US fields, are not available for all data collected historically. The Maryland Department of Planning will continue to populate these new fields as updates become available. For a full description of the contents of the PAD-US fields, seehttps://www.usgs.gov/core-science-systems/science-analytics-and-synthesis/gap/pad-us-datamanual.Attributes within this dataset include: Source Protected Area ID (PAD-US field): MALPF easement number Settled Acres: Settlement acreage Settled Date: Settlement date, including month date and year County: County in which protected land is located Weblink: Link to more information about the protection program Category (PAD-US field): PAD-US classification for the protection mechanism associated with the protected property Owner Type (PAD-US field): General land owner type of the fee property interest, standardized for the US Owner Name (PAD-US field): Owner of the fee interest of the property, standardized for the nation Local Owner (PAD-US field): The actual name of the owner of the fee interest Easement Holder Type (PAD-US field): Where the ‘Category' of protection code (above) is listed as "Easement", this field specifies the type of holder of the easement.
