Description:
Abstract:
This coverage comprises the extent of the Southwest Region

National Forests (New Mexico & Arizona), the data set is composed

of polygon features denoting soil condition, erosion hazard,

revegetation potential and vegetation cover.  The scale is 1:250000.
Purpose:
This data set was created for the USFS General Terrestrial

Ecosystem Survey.  Its purpose is to delineate the locations and

areas of varying GTES characteristics.

Data_Quality_Information:
Logical_Consistency_Report:
Polygon and chain-node topology present.

Tolerances were chosen to prevent errors in labels,

intersections, tics, overshoots, and undershoots. Tests

were performed to detect these types of errors and necessary

corrections were made.
Completeness_Report:
Data completeness reflects the content of the source file.
Positional_Accuracy:
Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy:
Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report:
The root-mean square error is generally .003 map units

or less.

Process_Description:
Mylars (25 total) were digitized

using an earlier version

of Arc/Info then edited in ArcEdit to correct for overshoots, dangles

, and intersect errors (topology created).  GTES attribute data

previously gathered and compiled by the USFS was then added to

each polygon by EDAC staff. Tic coverages were generated then GTES

coverages were transformed to real world coordinates.  Individual

quad coverages were appended together to form the entire region

of the unified national forests.  Checkplots were reviewed by the

USFS and subsequent edits performed by EDAC.  This coverage is

currently used w/ Arc/Info version 7.2.1.
