Data_Quality_Information:
Attribute_Accuracy:
Attribute_Accuracy_Report:
The attribute accuracy is estimated to be "good". If a higher proof of data accuracy is required, do not use these data. User is advised to fully and carefully read the 'Distribution Liability' section of this metadata before using these data.
Logical_Consistency_Report: ARC/INFO polygon topology exists.
Completeness_Report: Dataset is complete.
Positional_Accuracy:
Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy:
Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report:
Horizontal accuracy varies depending on the source of individual components within the data. Data derived from USGS data (DLGs, DEMs, DOQQs) are assumed to meet National Map Accuracy standards. Data produced from real-time GPS (Global Positioning System) field data is assumed to be spatially accurate to within 3-5 meters.

Process_Step:
Process_Description:
Polygons were digitzed in ARC/EDIT over scanned and registered aerial photos used as an on-screen backdrop. Many sessions of ARC/EDIT were necessary to complete the editions.
