Maintenance Assets on New York State Environmental Conservation Lands

Point data from the State of New York identifies over a dozen distinct man-made assets requiring upkeep on Department of Environmental Conservation lands. Features include lean-tos, parking lots, primitive campsites, pit privies, and boat launches. The dataset was last updated in April 2026.

Use Cases

• Cluster asset types like 'lean-to' or 'boat launch' by geographic coordinates to optimize maintenance crew routing.
• Predict the density of 'accessible asset' or 'picnic site' points based on surrounding land use patterns.
• Analyze the spatial distribution of 'fire tower' or 'scenic vista' points for emergency response planning.
• Join point features for 'primitive campsite' or 'trail structure' with visitor usage data to prioritize refurbishment projects.

Strengths

• Data distinguishes between at least 11 specific asset types (e.g., lean-to, fire tower, scenic vista).
• Point features provide precise geographic coordinates for each asset.
• Dataset is actively maintained, with an update recorded in 2026.

Limitations

• Total row count and spatial sample size are unknown.
• No column schema or attribute details beyond asset type are provided.
• Geographic coverage is limited to New York State lands only.
