VLFRs
These features are a compilation of the various VLFR, or equivalent, shapefiles found within the \\MASTERSERVER1\Mpingo\GIS\PFM subfolders.Iddi Emillius provided assistance locating additional, or alternate, VLFR shapefiles from sources other than the \\MASTERSERVER1\Mpingo\GIS\PFM subfolders. Despite those efforts, VLFRs could not be located for some village areas.Some VLFRs are not fully contained by their village boundary, and some may not fully contain their NTZs.The data source for each feature is recorded in the attribute table's SOURCE field.Carl Beyerhelm, 3 Oct 2017.
