Cadastral PLSS Standardized Data - PLSSPoints (El Paso) - Version 1.1
Metadata from the RGIS Metadata Repository
Data Quality Information
- Attribute Accuracy Report
-
- Report The BLM GCDB personnel using software tools such as dataprep and native GS
tools in ArcGIS checked the data for attribute accuracy by verifying it against land
records databases such as legal land description (LLD) and Case Status databases.
There may be instances where information in survey records and LLD and Case do not
agree or places where records are missing. If there are questions about the
attribution of a polygon contact the identified data steward.
- Quantitative Attribute Accuracy Assessment
-
- Attribute Accuracy Value
- Attribute Accuracy Explanation
- Horizontal Positional Accuracy Report
-
- Report Accuracy of the individual points contained in the PLSSPoint Feature
Class that were determined using GMM software the resulting accuracy is reported
with the point in the feature class. An overall statement of reliability may be
provided for points that are derived from the least accurate component of the
error ellipse. Accuracy of the individual points that were determined using PCCS
software a carries positional reliability factor for the average of the
misclosures in the data set and the maximum misclosure in the data set.
- Quantitative Horizontal Positional Accuracy Assessment
-
- Horizontal Positional Accuracy Value
- Horizontal Positional Accuracy Explanation
- Logical Consistency Report This feature class data set is topologically structured with nodes being constructed
from the PLSS Points and hence points being coincident with nodes at all
intersections.
- Completeness Report This feature class represents all available geographic coordinate database (GCDB)
at the time of publication. Every attempt was made to complete the rectangular Public
Land Survey System(PLSS) to at least the First Division (section) level and to capture
the outside boundary of non-rectangular PLSS features. Gaps or holes in the data that
are know areas of conflict are presented in the ConflictedAreas feature class. If there
are other gaps it is where data has not been automated, was not available from the data
steward or was not of sufficient quality to be included.
- Lineage
-
- Process Step
-
- Process Description For points with a BLM Cadastral as the data steward this feature class is
built geographic coordinate database (GCDB) point files. All PLSS Points are at
the nodes of line intersections and have a unique identifier as well as any
applicable alias that represents the point identifier in adjoining townships or
adjoining features. For points with county or state data stewards the PLSS
corners are imported from geodatabase files provided by the data
steward.

- Process Description PLSS files were clipped into twenty-two sections using the NM 1:250000 Quad Grid with 15 Mile Buffer layer.
