The Alaska Mental Health Trust was reconstituted in 1994 through a court settlement and associated State of Alaska legislation. The Alaska Mental Health Trust Authority (the Trust), a public corporation, was established at that time and is responsible for the ongoing management of the Trust. As required by the settlement and legislation, the Trust contracts with the Alaska Permanent Fund Corporation to manage the cash corpus of the Trust and with the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) to manage the land corpus of the Trust. The Trust Land Office (TLO) was established within DNR for this purpose and manages about one million acres of Trust land throughout the state on behalf of the Trust Authority. This shape file characterizes the geographic representation of land parcels within the State of Alaska contained by the Mental Health Trust Land category. It has been extracted from data sets used to produce the State status plats. This data set includes cases noted on the digital status plats up to one day prior to data extraction. Each feature has an associated attribute record, including a Land Administration System (LAS) file-type and file-number which serves as an index to related LAS case-file information. Additional LAS case-file and customer information may be obtained at: http://www.dnr.state.ak.us/las/LASMenu.cfm Those requiring more information regarding State land records should contact the Alaska Department of Natural Resources Public Information Center directly. |
