<abstract>
This is an Arc/Info polygon and arc data set containing county
boundaries in Illinois.  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.
</abstract>
<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.
</purpose>
<supplinf>
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.

<attracc>
<attraccr>
This coverage was extracted from coverage re-state1, the
primary public land survey data set in the ISGS GIS
database.  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.
</attraccr>
</attracc>
<logic>
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:
&gt;- DOMAIN of allowable values
&gt;- adherence of values to the DOMAIN
&gt;- definition of ITEMS
&gt;- requirement of all UNIQUE values for an item
&gt;- logic of ITEMS REDEFINED over other ITEMS
&gt;- 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.  &quot;Fuzzy&quot; 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.
</logic>
<complete>
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.
</complete>
<posacc>
<horizpa>
<horizpar>
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.

This is a legacy data set compiled circa 1984.  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.

<procdesc>
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:
&gt; Dangling Node        29 at (  3414662.00000,  3153298.00000)
&gt; Dangling Node        30 at (  3414678.50000,  3153298.50000)
&gt; 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.

<overview>
<eaover>
&gt; Attribute items are in typical ARC/INFO feature class format.
&gt;
&gt; ARC ATTRIBUTES:
&gt; Arc attributes indicate line type.  Attribute items other than
&gt; the Arc/Info defaults are:
&gt;
&gt; STATELINE - Indicates if arc is a part of the state boundary
&gt;               1 - arc is part of the state boundary
&gt;               0 - arc is not part of the state boundary
&gt;
&gt; COUNTLINE - Indicates if arc is a part of a county boundary
&gt;               1 - arc is part of a county boundary
&gt;               0 - arc is not part of a county boundary
&gt;
&gt; SECLINE   - Indicates if arc is a part of a section line
&gt;               1 - arc is part of a section line
&gt;               0 - arc is not part of a section line
&gt;
&gt; INDLINE   - Indicates if arc is a part of an Indian Treaty boundary
&gt;               1 - arc is part of a an Indian Treaty boundary
&gt;               0 - arc is not part of an Indian Treaty boundary
&gt;
&gt; TOWNLINE  - Indicates if arc is a part of a township or range line
&gt;               1 - arc is part of a township or range line
&gt;               0 - arc is not part of a township or range line
&gt;
&gt; POLYGON ATTRIBUTES:
&gt; Polygon attributes indicate federal FIPS codes and the
&gt; county name for each county.  Polygon items other than
&gt; the Arc/Info defaults are:
&gt;
&gt; COUNT-FED-FIPS - the 6 digit federal FIPS code for state and county
&gt;
&gt; COUNTY_NAME - 16 character name of the county
&gt;
&gt; GISDB_DIR - The name of the directory in the ISGS GIS database
&gt;             that contains data for the particular county.  This
&gt;             item is for internal use only.  Non-ISGS staff can
&gt;             ignore this item.
&gt;
&gt; ** REDEFINED ITEMS **
&gt; CO_FIPS - the 3 digit FIPS code for the county
&gt;
&gt; ANNOTATION ATTRIBUTES:
&gt; The county name for each county is annotated just below (in most
&gt; cases) the northern county boundary.  In some cases placement has
&gt; been adjusted for a good fit.
