Overview Description
Entity and Attribute Overview Attribute accuracy was tested by manual overlaying with the original and no errors were detected. All lines and polygons were inspected, verified, and corrected by performing a "clean" routine using ARC/Edit in ARC/INFO 5.0.1. Cartographic and spatial topology accuracy are 100%. Horizontal accuracy was tested by visual comparison on digital data with the source data using check plots. RMS is 0.004 inches.
