Data_Quality_Information:

Attribute_Accuracy:

Attribute_Accuracy_Report:

Attribute accuracy tested manually by comparing data to source materials.

Logical_Consistency_Report:

All polygons are closed and adjacent polygons do not have identical attributes. Each polygon has one and only one attribute.

Completeness_Report:

Data set was created from all available sources - using legal descriptions (township, range, section) from Public Law 104-333 and a map from the Southwest Land Resources Program Center. Data is considered complete.

Positional_Accuracy:

Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy:

Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report:

Horizontal positional accuracy tested by visual comparison of the data with hard copy maps and on-screen with existing data sets that cover the same area.
