Williams Ellen A. Cypher Patrick A. Kelly Nancy Norvell Scott E. Phillips Data_Quality_Information: Attribute_Accuracy: Attribute_Accuracy_Report: All polygon features are attributed as being within the band. Logical_Consistency_Report: Arcs connect to each other at nodes. Arcs have direction and left and right sides. Arcs that connect to surround an area define a polygon. Completeness_Report: The locations of lands are generized and are not based on real property locations. Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report: The locations of polygon features are generalized based on a regional view of the source information. The accuracy of this theme is not suitable for parcel level mapping.
