This USGS DLG (Digital Line Graph) data layer contains a full range of attribute codes, has full topological structuring, and has passed certain quality control checks. More information regarding USGS DLG data can be found at http://edc.usgs.gov/guides/dlg.html. Purpose: These data may be used to construct municipal, regional, or statewide base maps.

Data_Quality_Information: Attribute_Accuracy: Attribute_Accuracy_Report: The attribute accuracy is estimated to be 98.5 percent. Attribute accuracy was tested by one or more of the following methods: - manual comparison of the source with hard copy plots. - symbolized display of the digital line graph on an interactive computer graphic system. - Selected attributes that could not be visually verified on plots or on screen, were interactively queried and verified on screen. In addition, U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Production System (PROSYS) software tested the attributes against a master set of valid attributes for the category; it also checked for selected valid attribute combinations, and for valid attributes relative to topology and dimensionality. All attribute data conform to the attribute codes current as of the date of digitizing. Logical_Consistency_Report: Topological requirements include: lines must begin and end at nodes, lines must connect to each other at nodes, lines do not extend through nodes, left and right areas are defined for each line element and are consistent throughout the file, and the lines representing the limits of the file (neatline) are free of gaps. The tests of logical consistency were performed by the USGS PROSYS program. The neatline was generated by connecting the four corners of the digital file, as established during initialization of the digital file. All data outside the enclosed region were ignored and all data crossing these geographically straight lines were clipped at the neatline. Data within a specified tolerance of the neatline were snapped to the neatline. Neatline straightening aligned the digitized edges of the digital data with the generated neatline, that is, with the longitude/latitude lines in geographic coordinates. All internal areas were tested for closure using PROSYS. Completeness_Report: Data completeness reflects the content of the source quadrangle. Features may have been eliminated or generalized on the source graphic, due to scale and legibility constraints. For Digital Revision Status = Not revised Reported data completeness reflects the content of the source quadrangle. Features may have been eliminated or generalized on the source graphic, due to scale and legibility constraints. For Digital Revision Status = Limited Update This file has undergone limited update digital revision. The file contains only (1) those features that are photoidentifiable on monoscopic source, supplemented with limited ancillary source, and (2) those features, present on the original source quadrangle, that can not be reliably photoidentified but that are not considered particularly prone to change. For Digital Revision Status = Standard Update This file has undergone standard update digital revision. The data completeness of this file meets NMD standards for feature content. Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report: For Digital Revision Status = Not revised The Horizontal positional accuracy is based upon the use of USGS source quadrangles which are compiled to meet National Map Accuracy Standards (NMAS). NMAS horizontal accuracy requires that at least 90 percent of points tested are within 0.02 inches of the true position. The digital data are estimated to contain a horizontal positional error of less than or equal to 0.003 inches standard error in the two component directions relative to the source quadrangle. Comparison to the graphic source is used as control to assess digital positional accuracy. Cartographic offsets may be present on the graphic source, due to scale and legibility constraints. Digital map elements require edge alignment between data sets. Data along each quadrangle edge are tested against the data set for the adjacent quadrangle using PROSYS; tests check for positional accuracy between data sets within a 0.02 inches tolerance. Features with like dimensionality, and with or without like attribution, that are within the tolerance are adjusted by moving the feature equally in both data sets. Features outside the tolerance are not moved. All disconnects are identified by edge matching flags that document the mismatch. For Digital Revision Status = Limited Update: This file has undergone limited update digital revision. Accuracy of these digital data meets the class 1 positional accuracy specifications in the draft United States National Cartographic Standards for Spatial Accuracy. Digital map elements require edge alignment between data sets. Data along each quadrangle edge are tested against the data set for the adjacent quadrangle using PROSYS; tests check for positional accuracy between data sets within a 0.02 inches tolerance. Features with like dimensionality, and with or without like attribution, that are within the tolerance are adjusted by moving the feature equally in both data sets. Features outside the tolerance are not moved. All disconnects are identified by edge matching flags that document the mismatch. For Digital Revision Status = Standard Update: This file has undergone standard update digital revision. Accuracy of these digital data meets at least the class 2 positional accuracy specification in the draft United States National Cartographic Standards for Spatial Accuracy. Digital map elements require edge alignment between data sets. Data along each quadrangle edge are tested against the data set for the adjacent quadrangle using PROSYS; tests check for positional accuracy between data sets within a 0.02 inches tolerance.

Features outside the tolerance are not moved. All disconnects are identified by edge matching flags that document the mismatch. Vertical_Positional_Accuracy: Vertical_Positional_Accuracy_Report: For Hypsography, Hydrography and Survey Control and Markers Only: Vertical positional accuracy is based upon the use of USGS source quadrangles which are compiled to meet NMAS. NMAS vertical accuracy requires that at least 90 percent of well defined points tested be within one half contour interval of the correct value. Comparison to the graphic source is used as control to assess digital positional accuracy. For Hypsography, Hydrography and Survey Control and Markers Only: For Digital Revision Status = Limited Update or Standard Update: This file has undergone digital revision. Accuracy of these digital data meets the class 1 positional accuracy specifications in the draft United States National Cartographic Standards for Spatial Accuracy.

Process_Step: Process_Description: The source DLG files were converted into Arc/Info coverages using the "DLGARC" command. Line topology was constructed and attributes were appended using basic Arc/Info utilities. The data were then projected from UTM meters (zone 18 or 19), NAD27 (or NAD83), to NH State Plane feet, NAD83. A new field, ELEV, was created and MAJOR/MINOR codes representing elevation values were migrated to ELEV, converting from meters to feet if necessary. Coverages were then converted to shapefile format using the "ARCSHAPE" command.

Attribute codes are used to reduce redundant information, provide enough reference information to support integration with larger data base, and describe the relationships between cartographic elements. Each DLG element has one or more attribute codes composed of a three digit major code and a four-digit minor code. For more information regarding DLG MAJOR/MINOR attribute codes, please see Part 3 of the Standards for Digital Line Graphs document (http://rmmcweb.cr.usgs.gov/nmpstds/acrodocs/dlg-3/3dlg0798.pdf).
