Data_Quality_Information:
Attribute_Accuracy:
Attribute_Accuracy_Report:
Attribute accuracy tested by comparing hard copy plots of the digital data with the 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. Polygon features are checked for topology using ARC/INFO software.
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.
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.

Process_Description:
Convert DLG PLSS data to ArcView shapefile and clip to area immediately around Wupatki National Monument. Using Presidential Proclamations, public laws, deed information and Lands Office Map, add attributes to PLSS data which show the date each section or partial section was added to or removed from the monument, which document authorized the change, and which deed(s) applied.
