Data_Quality_Information:

Attribute_Accuracy:

Attribute_Accuracy_Report:

Digital databases created within the USBR MPGIS Service Center were reviewed using existing quality standards.

Quantitative_Attribute_Accuracy_Assessment:

Attribute_Accuracy_Value: Good

Attribute_Accuracy_Explanation:

Digital databases created within the USBR was reviewed using existing quality standards.

Logical_Consistency_Report:

Data meets accuracy and quality standards within USBR MPGIS Service Center. Errors do exist.

Original source data came from 1:100,000-scale USGS topographic maps. Logical Consistency was established by utilizing the 1:100,000-scale USGS topographic map quadrangles as the maximum base map scale. This database is not intended to be used as a land survey or representation of land for conveyance or tax purposes. Further details are discussed in the Process Step portion of this metadata.
