Currentness Reference |
Source information in the
gravel pit shapefile was collected from the following: field work, soil
survey, topological map, aerial 7.5 minute topographic quadrangles , and ASIS
(Aggregate Source Information System). Gravel pits were identified during
field work in the spring and fall of 2004. Gravel pits were digitized from
U.S. Geological Survey, 7.5 minute topographic quandrangles at a scale of
1:24000. The age of the quandrangles range from 1967 to 1983, with some quads
photo revised in 1994. The gravel pits located from the Soil Survey are from
2004, the date of the published Soil Survey. Aerial photographs are
identified from NAPP (National Aerial Photography Program), 1991-1992, 9 inch
by 9 inch color infared photographs at 1:40,000. ASIS was aquired from the
Minnesota Department of Transportation in the spring of 2003. |

Section 2 |
Data Quality Information |
||
Attribute Accuracy |
During the land use
interpretation, digital orthophotos and county parcel data with assessor's
land use/type attributes were used. Reverse directories and field checks were
used to augment this interpretation. Also, comments and corrections for the
1997 data from the cities and townships (each of which was given a map with
the preliminary 1997 data) were used to update the 1997 layer. |
||
Logical Consistency |
The data set is
topologically 'clean'. |
||
Completeness |
Described in the Lineage
section. |
||
Horizontal Positional Accuracy |
These points were captured
from several different sources, including USGS 1:24000 quadrangles, 1:12000
USGS DOQs (from 1991), Natural Resource Conservation Service Soil Survey
maps, and the ASIS (Aggregate Source Information System) from the Minnesota
Department of Transportation. |
||
Vertical Positional Accuracy |
Not applicable. |
||
Lineage |
These points were gathered
from a variety of sources, some were digitized within a few meters, others
were located on DOQs (Digital Orthophoto Quadrangles) and DRGs with on screen
digitizing. The gravel pits are fairly large, thus the points are located somewhere
in the disturbed area, and should be very accurate. |
