USER NOTES:
This data is provided 'as is'. GeoPlan relied on the integrity of the original data layer's topology

This data is provided 'as is' by GeoPlan and is complete to our knowledge.

GeoPlan relied on the integrity of the attribute information within the original data.



This data is provided 'as is' and its horizontal positional accuracy has not been verified by GeoPlan



This data is provided 'as is' and its vertical positional accuracy has not been verified by GeoPlan



A note concerning data scale:

Scale is an important factor in data usage. Certain scale 
datasetsare not suitable for some project, analysis, or
modeling 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 projects or analyses. Every 
effort has been made to supply the user with data 
documentation. For additional information, see the 
References sectionand the Data Source Contact section of 
this documentation. For more information regarding scale 
and accuracy, see our web pages at:

DATA LINEAGE SUMMARY:
The process step describes, in general, the process used in the 
production of data sets.  The originating agencies created the 
original table with spatial locations in tabular format (Latitude/Longitude).  

GeoPlan, during the QA/QC process included the following aspects:
(1) Created spatial points from the X / Y locations gathered from the
  Latitude and Longitude information in the original table. 
(2) Changed projection from Geographic WGS 1984 to Albers HPGN
(3) Fields were changed to FGDL standards.
(3) DESCRIPT item was added based on the CLASS code description.
Process Date: 20051206
