Description:
Abstract: INDIANA_TR_24K_IGS_P is a 1:24,000-scale polygon
shapefile with a projection of Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM)
North American Datum (NAD) 1983 zone 16.
Purpose: This shapefile was created as a framework layer defining the
township or range lines of Indiana in polygon format. The information
is intended for geographic display or analysis at a scale of 1:24,000
or smaller.
Supplemental_Information: This shapefile was derived from a predecessor
coverage named "IN_LANDSURVEY." IN_LANDSURVEY is a digital
representation of land survey features created by the Indiana
Geological Survey as represented on the USGS 1:24,000 digital raster
graphic (DRG) series. ESRI ArcEdit 8.1 and ESRI ArcView 3.2 were used
to extract the following shapefiles from IN_LANDSURVEY:
Indiana_CountyBdy_24k_IGS_l, Indiana_CountyBdy_24k_IGS_p,
Indiana_LandSurvey_24k_IGS_l, Indiana_LandSurvey_24k_IGS_p,
Indiana_StateBdy_24k_IGS_l, Indiana_StateBdy_24k_IGS_p,
Indiana_TR_24k_IGS_l, and Indiana_TR_24k_IGS_p.

DATA_QUALITY_INFORMATION
Attribute_Accuracy:
Attribute_Accuracy_Report: All information contained in this shapefile
Was extracted from the predecessor coverage IN_LANDSURVEY.
Logical_Consistency_Report: A check was made for dangling nodes and none
were detected.
Completeness_Report: The original IN_LANDSURVEY line coverage was queried
for layer_1 = STATE-BDY, T-R, T-R-CLOSE, OLSS-BDY, OLSS-BDY-CLOSE and
layer_2 = T-R, LM-SHORE, OLSS-BDY, or OLSS-BDY-CLOSE. A check was made to
verify that the township and range boundaries are identical to the
township and range boundaries contained in the predecessor coverage
IN_LANDSURVEY.
Positional_Accuracy:
Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy:
Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report: Accuracy is no better than that
of the source material used to compile IN_LANDSURVEY. The vector
lines contained in IN_LANDSURVEY were corrected to DRG raster lines
at an on-screen scale of 1:5,000 or better.
Vertical_Positional_Accuracy:
Vertical_Positional_Accuracy_Report: Vertical accuracy was not a factor
in the digital production of the data set.
