Native_Data_Set_Environment: Arc/Info Data_Quality_Information: Quantitative_Attribute_Accuracy_Assessment: Attribute_Accuracy_Value: 99.95% Logical_Consistency_Report: Datasets delivered to the Data Access and Support Center are subsequently quality assurance tested for major documentation and topological errors using macros. The databases are evaluated based on questions similar to the following: Does the database's documentation properly explain the dataset? Does the data import properly into its native dataset environment? Is consistent methodology used throughout the data? Are all of the database's fields and values legitimate compared to the documentation? Is the database's topology free of errors that could impair the functionality of the data? Once the data is tested a report is written describing the evaluation. A copy of the report is then forwarded to the data originator for his/her review. If errors are found, the data originator is expected to make any necessary corrections and then provide those corrected coverages. After these steps have been taken data is considered archivable and made available for distribution. Data that is archived by DASC has been tested and corrected. Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy: Quantitative_Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Assessment: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Value: Very good/Mean deviation in mapped location from locations derived independently by USGS using stable base maps at 1:24,000 is .006 map inches or 12 ground feet (based on 8,000 sample points). Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Explanation: Direct comparison to USGS database. Comparison to the graphic source is used as control to access digital location accuracy. Taken as a group, significantly lower quality was identified among early DLG's developed by the USGS in SE Kansas for coal resource studies, in NE Kansas along the Missouri River, and those DLG's covering Gray County developed as a pilot database development project.

The sole remaining exception in the present version of the Kansas County Databases is the land grant in the Baxter Springs, KS and Peoria, OK-KS quadrangle (0260 and 0160) which is coded by the USGS in the DLG for quad 0260 as 306/5 indicating that the land grant was surveyed as part of the Public Land Survey from the 5th Principal Meridian. The historical accuracy of this coding has not been checked and has therefore been maintained as represented in the USGS DLG. 302/yy Township 'yy' North (from Missouri survey) 303/yy Township 'yy' South 304/xx Range 'xx' East 305/xx Range 'xx' West 301/zz Section 'zz' 300/100 Indian lands 300/103 Land Grant 300/104 Private extension of Public Land Survey -- any survey not accepted by the Bureau of Land Management, including Bureau of Indian Affairs surveys on Indian lands. These ares are inconsistently identified in the USGS DLG's, but those identifications are maintained in the Kansas County Databases. 300/107 Military reserve (excluded area) 300/198 Water (excluded area) 300/199 Unsurveyed area (excluded area) Lines: Major/Minor Meaning 300/201 Approximate position 300/202 Protracted position 300/203 Arbitrary closure line -- use of arbitrary closures is inconsistent throughout the USGS DLG's. No attempt has been made to remove this inconsistency in the Kansas County Databases. In certain areas along the Kansas and Smoky Hill Rivers, where arbitrary closures in the DLG's clearly misrepresent the original Public Land Survey, the placements of arbitrary closures have been changed. 300/204 Base line (also a township line) 300/205 Grant line General: Major/Minor Meaning 308/0 Best estimate of classification and/or position The following attributes not included in the USGS DLG's have been added to county coverages: Lines: Major/Minor Meaning 300/206 Principle Meridian (also a range line) 300/207 Township line 300/208 Range line 300/209 PLSS boundary with excluded area (e.g., Indian lands) 300/217 Survey correction line (range line shift along township line) 300/218 Survey correction line (township line shift along range line) 300/294 Boundary with 'private extension' of PLSS. (Coded as 300/209 in DLG's) 300/299 Quadrangle edge (indicates edge matching problem in DLG's 300/4320 County line taken from Kansas Cartographic Database 300/4310 State line taken from Kansas Cartographic Database The following attributes included in the USGS DLG's have been dropped in the reformatted county databases: Nodes: Major/Minor Meaning 300/2 Poorly defined in DLG standards, this code is used for nodes created at points on section lines other than section corners. On some DLG's it is sometimes used to indicate the termination of section lines at a quad edge. It was dropped because of its inconsistent use. 300/40 Corner located in the field. This information is typically long out of date and may frequently refer to corners which would require relocation by county surveyors for any practical (or legal) application. 309/xx Node coincident with feature from other DLG layer. The USGS has dropped the identification of coincident features in the DLG's. These codes are found only in the original DLG's developed in SE Kansas for coal resource studies, DLG's in NE Kansas developed along the Missouri River, and DLG's covering Gray County developed as a pilot database development project. Lines: Major/Minor Meaning 309/xx Line coincident with feature from other DLG layer. See above.
