Presentation Form vector digital data
Abstract This data set contains a 1:100,000 scale vector digital representation of all interstate highways, all US highways, most of the state highways, and some county roads in New Mexico. The data were collected using Trimble Pathfinder Basic Plus GPS units and differentially corrected with Trimble Pfinder software, version 2.40-07. They were converted to ARC/INFO format using ARC/INFO 7.0.3. The file size is approximately 4.2 Mb, compressed.
Purpose These data are typically used as base data for other coverages. The data are intended for use as a general reference to the extent and location of Highways and Interstates in New Mexico.
Supplemental Information Procedures_Used: The data were collected using Trimble Pathfinder Basic Plus GPS units. The data were differentially corrected using Base Station Files in the Pfinder software program. The files were converted to ARC/INFO format and then imported into ARC/INFO and turned into a coverage and attributed with the name information. Revisions: None to data. Item called TYPE added Nov. 2002 to delineate Interstate, US Highway, State Highway, or Local road.
