Description:

Abstract:

This data set is an ESRI shapefile that portrays the federally and Indian owned land polygon features of the Great Basin. The data set was created by extracting federal and Indian land polygon features from the individual 1:2,000,000-scale state boundary DLG files produced by the U.S. Geological Survey, for the entire United States. These files were then paneled into a single coverage, then later converted to Lambert projection and clipped to the outline of the Great Basin by the Nevada Bureau of Mines and Geology.

Purpose:

These data were created to serve as a layer for the National Atlas of the United States of America.

Supplemental_Information:

Revisions: 1) 3/22/98 - Corrected topological problems along state lines, corrected coding errors (Lake Tahoe), and added Escalante national monument. State attribute codes were removed. Fort Frederica, GA was deleted because it was below the minimum mapping area of 640 acres.

Data_Quality_Information:

Attribute_Accuracy:

Attribute_Accuracy_Report:

Accuracy at the DLG level was tested by one or more of the following methods: - manual comparison of the source with hard copy plots. - symbolized display of the digital line graph on an interactive computer graphic system. - Selected attributes that could not be visually verified on plots or on screen were interactively queried and verified on screen. As the DLG files were directly converted to ARC/INFO coverages, attributes have not been checked in the ARC/INFO format.

Logical_Consistency_Report:

Using ESRI's ARC/INFO GIS software, the data set was checked for label errors, dangling nodes, and intersections. Polygon topology was built for the data set using the "BUILD" command.

Completeness_Report:

Data completeness generally reflects the content of the original DLG file.

Positional_Accuracy:

Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy:

Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report:

In DLG format, files underwent comparison to a graphic source or image source that was used as control to assess digital positional accuracy. During conversion to ARC/INFO coverage format and during the append process to panel the states together, node snapping and fuzzy tolerances may have caused minimal positional shifts.

Process_Description:

This file was originally digitized by the National Mapping Division based on the sectional maps contained in 'The National Atlas of the United States of America' published by the USGS in 1970. The sectional maps were updated during 1978-1981 and digitized in the early 1980's. The data were updated in 1995 using 1:1,000,000-scale and 1:2,000,000-scale BLM state base maps. These data were published on CD-ROM in 1995. Using ARC/INFO software, the DLG optional format files were converted to ARC/INFO coverages using the DLGARC command. Only federal and Indian land polygons and attribute information were extracted for inclusion. The sections were then paneled together using the ARC/INFO command APPEND. "Slivers" created during the append process were identified and deleted using the ELIMINATE command. The attribute AGBUR was added for plotting purposed. The codes used are: BIA (Bureau of Indian Affairs), BOR (Bureau of Reclamation), BLM (Bureau of Land Management), DOD (Dept. of Defense), FS (Forest Service), FWS (Fish and Wildlife Service), NPS (National Park Service), TVA (Tennessee Valley Authority), and OTHER. In 1998, topological errors introduced when the state files were paneled were corrected. Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument was added. Coding of Lake Tahoe was corrected, and Fort Frederica, GA was deleted because it was smaller than the minimum area of 640 acres. The data were converted to shapefile format for use in National Atlas applications and for distribution to the public.
