Illinois Department of Natural Resources Illinois Natural History Survey Illinois State Geological Survey 20040226 20040226 vector digital data ISGS GIS Database GISDB.IL_Roads_From_100K_DLG Champaign, Illinois Illinois State Geological Survey http://www.isgs.illinois.edu/ http://illinois.edu This ArcSDE feature dataset contains roads in Illinois as derived from US Geological Survey 1:100,000-scale Digital Line Graph files, transportation layer, 1980-1986. This includes all the DLG roads data that ISGS/IDNR customarily stored by county-by-county prior to 2004. The dataset is subdivided into four feature classes: interstates and defense highways, U.S. highways, Illinois state routes, and "all roads", which includes the three previous classes plus most local roads as of 1986. Note that the functional classification of roadways is the jurisdiction of the Illinois Department of Transportation and is subject to change. For more current road information, including downloadable GIS data, refer to the Illinois Department of Transportation Technology Transfer Center (IDOT T2 Center) at http://dot.state.il.us/blr/t2center1.html. This metadata document describes the SDE feature dataset as a whole and contains information that applies to all the feature classes. Each feature class has an additional unique metadata file describing its specifics. Publication dates of the USGS maps used as sources range from 1980 to 1986. Major highways were updated as of 1993. The maximum estimated error in horizontal position based on National Map Accuracy Standards is 167 feet. Experience shows that actual locational error appears to be greater, especially in localized areas. Rough comparison of these data with other easily obtainable, low-cost roads data shows that locational accuracy varies from locale to locale. Other datasets have better accuracy in some areas and worse in others. Overall, the general quality of most low-cost roads data appears to be the same, with local variation. Attributes include road class, road type, DLG code, route numbers, and data source, among others. The All_Roads feature class is the parent of the other three feature classes and contains all attribute information. The Interstate, State_Routes, and US_Highways feature classes are subsets of All_Roads and contain only route numbers. The data are stored in geographic coordinates, NAD83. These data have not been updated since 1993, nor are there current plans to do so. With the exception of major highways, the data have not been updated since 1986. Accordingly, these data are for general reference and cartographic use. This is a legacy dataset made available as a convenience. The data are not suitable for showing all local roads at a large scale for any given area. These data can be considered to be essentially out of date and unmaintained. These data and most of the accompanying metadata were originally developed and maintained by staff of the Illinois Natural History Survey (INHS), an agency of the Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR), under the auspices of the Illinois Geographic Information System (IGIS) initiative (circa 1986). Maintenance of the metadata was transferred to ISGS circa 1996. In a natural resources context, these roads data are primarily used as a cartographic element on maps for spatial reference. They are also used for analyses that require, for example, a buffer area between roads and natural features. These data are appropriate for regional thematic analysis. They are not appropriate for local analysis or as a geodetic or engineering base. This dataset serves as an important base cartographic element for many types of maps and has been widely distributed and used outside the ISGS. The data set was not and is not intended as a substitute for surveyed locations, such as can be determined by a registered Public Land Surveyor. Although useful in a GIS as a reference base layer for maps, the data set has no legal basis in the definition of boundaries or property lines. This is edition 20040226 of this feature dataset. While the component feature classes have been available and used as separate components for many years, managing the data as an ArcSDE feature dataset is new as of 2 February 2004. This merits an updated designation. The edition designation is derived from the aforementioned date using FGDC metadata notation. 1986 publication date of most recent source for majority of features Complete None planned -91.510288 -87.500008 42.500065 37.000008 none infrastructure expressway highway interstate route toll road road none Illinois ISGS information must be obtained directly from the ISGS or from an authorized distributor.
