USER NOTES:

The dataset provides location and attribute information for use in
national and regional cartographic and network analysis applications.

A note concerning data scale:
Scale is an important factor in data usage. Certain scale datasets are not
suitable for some project, analysis, or modelling purposes. Please be sure
you are using the best available data.

1:24000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the county
level. 1:24000 data should NOT be used for high accuracy base mapping such
as property parcel boundaries.

1:100000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the
multi-county or regional level.

1:250000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the
regional or state level or larger.

Vector datasets with no defined scale or accuracy should be considered
suspect. Make sure you are familiar with your data before using it for
data documentation. For additional information, see the References section
projects or analyses. Every effort has been made to supply the user with
and the Data Source Contact section of this documentation. For more
information regarding scale and accuracy, see our web pages at:

FGDL QUALITY ASSURANCE STATUS:

FGDL added DESCRIPT item in the feature attribute table based on the existing TYPE item.
