Some county boundaries are also state boundary lines, Indian treaty boundary lines, township and range lines, or section boundaries and are identified as such. County polygons are labeled with county name and FIPS designation. Nominal scale is 1:62,500. Purpose: This data set was created to serve as base map information at scales of 1:62,500 or smaller. These data are appropriate for use in local and regional thematic analysis. Data are not appropriate as a geodetic or engineering base. Supplemental_Information: Updates to the data: Edition 1.0 of these data were reviewed for internal logical consistency in March, 1998. As a result, several unneeded .AAT and .PAT items were dropped, tics were replaced, three dangling arcs were corrected and COVER-ID values were recalculated to be unique. See logical consistency report and process steps for March, 1998 for more details. The updated data set was edition 1.1. This edition (1.2) includes a new polygon ITEM (GISDB_DIR) added on 19990506. Time_Period_of_Content: Time_Period_Information: Single_Date/Time: Calendar_Date: 1984 Currentness_Reference: Data were digitized from USGS 7.5 minute and 15 minute topographic maps available circa 1984.

The attributes of that coverage were reviewed in 1990 using a variety of visual techniques (polygon shading, line shading and line thicknesses tied to attribute values) and GIS processing techniques (checking for logical consistency). See the metadata for re-state1 for a more complete description of this review. There is no quantitative assessment of attribute accuracy available, however, this coverage has been used extensively by ISGS personnel since 1984, and it can be assumed most attribute errors have been detected and corrected. There are no arc, polygon or annotation attribute values outside the appropriate value domains. Logical_Consistency_Report: A logical consistency review was performed in March, 1998. The following checks were made: Data set was DESCRIBED and coverage files listed to determine the feature types present. In this data set, the following feature types were found and checked: polygons, arcs, labels, nodes, and annotations. The presence of spatial indices was also checked. For PAT and AAT files, each ITEM was checked for the following: >- DOMAIN of allowable values >- adherence of values to the DOMAIN >- definition of ITEMS >- requirement of all UNIQUE values for an item >- logic of ITEMS REDEFINED over other ITEMS >- length of ITEM name as regards conversion to shape file BUILD statuses of data sets were checked, as were LABELERRORS and NODEERRORS (where appropriate), and PROJECTION definition. The presence of a BND file was verified. The presence and location of TICS were checked. Polygon and chain-node topology present. There are no dangling arcs. There is one polygon label per polygon, except for universe polygon. Boundary values appropriate for map projection and map units. "Fuzzy" tolerance is suitable for nominal scale. Several unneeded .AAT and .PAT items were dropped, tics were replaced, three dangling arcs were corrected, and COVER-ID values were recalculated to be unique. See process steps for March, 1998. There are no attribute values outside the appropriate domains. Completeness_Report: In 1995, the state boundary along the Ohio River was officially changed, but these changes have not been incorporated. Also, this coverage does not include the portion of the state boundary that extends into Lake Michigan. Rather, the lake shore is depicted as the state boundary. Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report: Horizontal positional accuracy is spot verified by visual comparison of source and hard-copy plots. Arcs within line-width of source maps are deemed acceptable. For positional accuracy of source maps, contact the USGS.

It is assumed that the automation process was typical of that for Arc/Info geo-data sets, implying digitization from source maps, editing and error checking, building topology, and subsequent revision and update. This coverage was extracted from parent coverage re-state1. See metadata for re-state1. Specific process descriptions prior to 1997 are unavailable, other than those listed in the associated Arc/Info log file. Process_Date: 1984 Process_Step: Process_Description: An internal logical consistency check was performed in March, 1998. See entry for logical consistency. As a result, the following changes/updates were made to the data: TICS - The data set had eight tics along the northern border of the state. For better tic distribution, these were replaced with ten tics from *path_name_suppressed*/quad100, evenly distributed around the state. However, users needing registration tics for use with these data (or a subset of these data) should expect to create a task-specific tic set, usually based on section corners. REMOVAL OF ITEMS - The following empty .AAT items were dropped: STATE2C.OLD#, STATE2C.OLD-ID, ORIG-ID, SYMBOL, SYMB. UNIQUE COVER-ID VALUES - COVER-ID values in the .AAT and .PAT were calculated to equal (COVER# - 1) in order to make them unique. DANGLES - These DANGLES were corrected by removing 2 spurious arcs: > Dangling Node 29 at ( 3414662.00000, 3153298.00000) > Dangling Node 30 at ( 3414678.50000, 3153298.50000) > Dangling Node 107 at ( 2862288.00000, 2578612.00000) (The ID numbers in this paragraph refer to edition 1.0 of the data, not the current edition. For verification, see the archived data set in *path_name_suppressed*/illimap_v1_0.) For detailed review see *path_name_suppressed*/illimap_v1_0_rev.txt.
