Description:
Abstract:
This is an Arc/Info arc data set. It contains Indian Treaty boundary lines in Illinois. Some Indian Treaty boundary lines that are also state boundary lines, county boundaries, township and range lines, or section boundaries are identified as such. 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 items were dropped, tics were replaced, 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 (this one) is edition 1.1.

Data_Quality_Information:
Attribute_Accuracy:
Attribute_Accuracy_Report:
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 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: arcs and nodes. The presence of spatial indices was also checked.

For 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.

Chain-node topology present. There are several appropriate dangling arcs. Boundary values are appropriate for map projection and map units. "Fuzzy" tolerance is suitable for nominal scale. Several unneeded .AAT items were dropped, tics were replaced, 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:
This data include all Indian Treaty boundary lines in Illinois as depicted on the source maps.

Positional_Accuracy:
Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy:
Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report:
Horizontal positional accuracy is spot verified by manual overlay 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.

Process_Step:
Process_Description:
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.
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 were calculated to equal (COVER# - 1) in order to make them unique.

For detailed review see *path_name_suppressed*/illimap_v1_0_rev.txt.

 Arc attributes indicate line type.  Attribute items other than
 the Arc/Info defaults are:

 STATELINE - Indicates if arc is a part of the state boundary

 SECLINE   - Indicates if arc is a part of a section line
               1 - arc is part of a section line
               0 - arc is not part of a section line

 INDLINE   - Indicates if arc is a part of an Indian Treaty boundary
               1 - arc is part of a an Indian Treaty boundary
               0 - arc is not part of an Indian Treaty boundary

 TOWNLINE  - Indicates if arc is a part of a township or range line
               1 - arc is part of a township or range line
               0 - arc is not part of a township or range line
