Data_Quality_Information:

Attribute_Accuracy:

Attribute_Accuracy_Report: All polygon features are attributed as being within the band.

Logical_Consistency_Report:

Arcs connect to each other at nodes. Arcs have direction and left and right sides. Arcs that connect to surround an area define a polygon.

Completeness_Report:

The locations of lands are generized and are not based on real property locations.

Positional_Accuracy:

Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy:

Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report:

The locations of polygon features are generalized based on a regional view of the source information. The accuracy of this theme is not suitable for parcel level mapping.

Overview_Description:

Entity_and_Attribute_Overview:

All closed polygon features are attributed as being within the contiguous band. Polygon features contain an attribute cont_band that is a single digit integer with valid values of 0 and 1. Those lands that make up the band are attributed as 1.
