Metadata: Identification_Information: Citation: Citation_Information: Originator: US Geological Survey Publication_Date: 1995 Title: 100K HYPSOGRAPHY Online_Linkage: http://gisdasc.kgs.ukans.edu Description: Abstract: A total of 54 digital hypsography maps were created from 1:100,000­scale digital line graph (DLG) hypsography data setsproduced by the U.S. Geological Survey. Together, the digital maps provide statewide topographic information for Kansas. The digital altitude contours, mapped in the Lambert Conformal Conic projection, have a contour interval of either 5 or 10 meters. Purpose: These digital maps were developed to be part of a multi­layer digital data base pertaining to the major aquifers in Kansas. Potential uses of these digital maps include studies addressing the location, use, management, and protection of ground­water resources in Kansas. Additionally, these digital maps are useful for a variety of other natural­resources management and research applications.

They are not intended for use in detailed, site­specific investigations.

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.

The quadname.aat (quadname could be any of the 100K quadrangles) contains the items ALTITUDE_METERS, ALTITUDE_METERS2, and CODE. A listing of the attributes with a short definition follows: ALTITUDE_METERS: The altitude of the land surface (in meters). ALTITUDE_METERS2: This attribute provides the additional information necessary to describe "carrying contours." A carryingcontour represents the merger of two or more contours into a single contour (that is, in an area of very steep slope). Together, the attributes ALTITUDE_METERS and ALTITUDE_METERS2 indicate the range of altitudes represented by the carrying contour. CODE: A 3­ or 4­ digit integer that indicates the type of feature represented (for example, contour or other linear feature), theconfidence in the feature's location (for example, approximate, inferred, speculative), and the cartographic symbol with which the feature is displayed (for example, continuous line, dashed line).
