Measured attributes are software computed and based on currently accepted algorithims applied in ESRI software. Logical_Consistency_Report: The data set is topologically clean. The data set has been reviewed for topological errors. Completeness_Report: All known boundary lines have been included. The park is currently funding a legal survey of selected bounda lines. Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report: Variable, depending on the source of a particular boundary segment. Currently, the source scale of all boundary lines are 1:24,000 or better.

Process_Step: Process_Description: Downloaded the NPS Water Resources Division version of the lower-48 park boundaries from the NPS FTP site. Source_Used_Citation_Abbreviation: NPSB Process_Date: 19980209 Process_Step: Process_Description: In ArcEdit, the boundary for Effigy was selected. The selection set was then reversed with "nselect." The selected set was then deleted leaving only Effigy. Process_Date: 19980209 Process_Step: Process_Description: The coverage was projected from Albers to UTM 15, NAD83. Process_Date: 19980218 Process_Step: Process_Description: Used the ArcInfo "generate" command to produce points and lines from positions listed on the harcopy survey. Projected the survey positions in Iowa-North State Plane to UTM Zone 15, NAD83. Source_Used_Citation_Abbreviation: surv Process_Date: 20010621 Process_Step: Process_Description: The county road along the northwest boundary of the North Unit was buffered by 46 ft to produce a replacement for the Water Resource version of the boundary. Process_Date: 20010626 Process_Step: Process_Description: The buffered-road boundary was edited to account for private property along that boundary segment. This was done based on the DOQQ for the area. Process_Date: 20010627 Process_Step: Process_Description: The survey-based and the buffered-road layers were added to the Water Resource boundary coverage to replace the corresponding existing arcs. Arcs were edited as little as possible when snapping the coverage polygons closed. Process_Date: 20010627 Process_Step: Process_Description: The boundary of the Heritage Addition was appended to the the boundary coverage. The South Unit boundary segment adjacent to the Addition was removed, and the corresponding Addition-South Unit arcs snapped to close the polygon. Source_Used_Citation_Abbreviation: fer8 Process_Date: 20010627 Process_Step: Process_Description: An attribute field was added and populated to account for the source of each arc in the data set. Process_Date: 20010814 Process_Step: Process_Description: Errors in both the PAT and AAT user-id values were corrected by calculating new values equal to the internal system-id values. The ArcInfo command IDEDIT was then used to snyc the attribute table id values with the label file values.
