This is a single polygon coverage with a single attribute so the accuracy should be 100 percent.
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.
The coverage is generized to show the recovery planning area of the San Joaquin Valley and nearby areas with similar upland habitat. The range of some species addressed in the plan may extend outside of this area.
This coverage shows the general location of the Recovery Planning study area and is not accurate for parcel level mapping.

The definitions of the Great Central Valley (GV) and its subdivision of San Joaquin Valley (SnJV).
The definitions used in the Jepson Manual were used in relation to existing GIS coverages such as the locations of oak/pine woodlands and mixed-hardwood forests to define a geographic region for ecosystem-level planning.
