Description:
Abstract:
Generated from exact latitude-longitude coordinates and projected from Geographic coordinates (Lat/Long) NAD83 into State Plane Meters NAD83. The Arc/Info GENERATE command was used with the following parameters; generate BoundaryTile_QUAD83 fishnet no labels -73.500,42.625 -73.500,42.725 0.125,0.125 20,17
The Arc/Info project command was then used to re-project from Geographic (DD)NAD83 into Vermont State Plane Meters (NAD83). Extraneous polygons where removed. Polygon label points where transfered from the QUAD coverage into the new coverage, resulting in duplicate attribute items. The tics in this data layer should only be used for digitizing if your source data is in NAD83! Use BoundaryTile_QUAD27 if your source data is in NAD27. In both cases you should re-project this coverage into UTM before digitizing. When you've completed your digitizing work re-project the data back into Vermont State Plane Meters NAD83.

Data_Quality_Information:
Attribute_Accuracy:
Attribute_Accuracy_Report:
The quadrangle corners and tics are as accurate as the PROJECT command which converted the coordinates from latitude-longitude to state plane meters NAD83. Coordinates are expected to be accurate to within a meter. The straight lines connecting the corners do not reflect the slight curvature of the latitude and longitude on the USGS maps. However, the curvature is so slight that error along the quadrangle edges is considered negligable. VCGI verified that there weren't any duplicate cover IDs or label errors.
Logical_Consistency_Report:
The tics in this data layer should only be used for digitizing if your source data is in NAD83! Use BoundaryTile_QUAD27 if your source data is in NAD27. In both cases you should re-project this coverage into UTM before digitizing. When you've completed your digitizing work re-project the data back into Vermont State Plane Meters NAD83.!!
