Positional accuracy:
Horizontal positional accuracy:
Horizontal positional accuracy report:
Section lines adjusted to verified section corners as corners recovery sheets are received from registered surveyor.

Lineage:
Process step:
Process description:
Converted from Intergraph to Graphic Data Systems (GDS) circa 1989, GDS to ESRI's SDE circa 1999.  Section lines (polygons) periodically adjusted to reflect on-going section corner recovery. See SectionCornersVerified dataset for certified section and quarter corner locations, coordinates, recovery date and surveyor.
