Description:

Abstract:

This is a vector polygon file showing the NPS authorized boundary Lyndon B. Johnson National Historical Park. The coordinates for this dataset were collected using a Trimble GeoExplorer 3.

Purpose:

To show the NPS authorized boundary at Lyndon B. Johnson National Historical Park. The intended use of all data in the park's GIS library is to support diverse park activities including planning, management, maintenance, research, and interpretation.

Supplemental_Information:

LBJ NHP was authorized on December 2, 1969 and was redesignated from a Historic Site to a National Historical Park on December 28, 1980. Present holdings are approximately 1,570 acres, 674 of which are federal. The Johnson family generously continues to add to this property; their most recent donation of acreage was in April, 1995.

Data_Quality_Information:

Attribute_Accuracy:

Attribute_Accuracy_Report:

Data collection was streamlined through use of data dictionaries attribute menus installed in the Global Positioning System (GPS) data logger. This procedure enhances attribute accuracy by reducing attribute related decision-making in the field and minimizing keying errors.

Logical_Consistency_Report:

There are no duplicate features present. Polygon features (if present) begin and end at the same point.

Completeness_Report:

To show the perimeter and area of water tanks as they existed in July 2002.

Positional_Accuracy:

Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy:

Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report:

The data were collected according to an accuracy standard of maintaining a maximum PDOP (Position Dilution of Precision) of 6, while tracking a minimum of 4 SV (satellite vehicles). These data were differentially corrected and have estimated accuracies in the X and Y direction of 0 to 5 meters, using the above standards while SA (selective availability) is set to zero. No tests were done to confirm this. In Trimble Pathfinder Office software, accuracy is not represented. Instead, precision is an estimation of the positional error (closeness to truth) available as feature attributes. To estimate precisions the software uses: receiver type (for noise), baseline length, Dilution of Precision, covariance and reference variance components. It is a repeatability measure not an accuracy measure. Horizontal Precision for line and area features looks at all the individual points that make up the line/area feature and a mean value is computed by the software.

Process_Step:

Process_Description:

The LBJ NHP Ranch, water tanks theme was included in the data dictionary attribute menu for use in the GPS data logger. GPS based coordinates were collected at Lyndon B. Johnson NHP during July of 2002 using Trimble GeoExplorer3 receiver in datum NAD83, UTM - zone 14. A maximum Position Dilution of Precision (PDOP) of 6 was maintained for each set while tracking a minimum of 4 satellite vehicles.

Source_Used_Citation_Abbreviation: GPS data

Process_Date: 20020712

Process_Step:

Process_Description:

The GPS processing software was Trimble Pathfinder Office Version 2.70. GPS files were differentially corrected using Trimble Community Base Station data from the Texas Department of Transportation, Austin site. The corrected GPS files were edited for known deviant and duplicate data. The Pathfinder Office Combine utility was used to merge features collected with identical data dictionaries by different GPS collection teams throughout the 2 day collection period. The combined features were then exported into ESRI ArcView version 3.2 shapefile format.
