USGS US Topo 7.5-minute map for Lewiston, WI 2018

Data Quality Information

Attribute Accuracy Report

Cartographic content is derived from USGS national geospatial databases. Most the data are owned and hosted by the USGS, but this does not preclude using data sources owned or hosted by other organizations, provided that these sources have been approved by the USGS data program.

Logical Consistency Report

This product is a layered geospatial PDF file.

Completeness Report

Each PDF layer is derived from data extracted from USGS national geospatial databases. These data are intended to be cartographically complete at 1:24,000 scale.

Horizontal Positional Accuracy Report

This US Topo map product is compiled to meet National Map Accuracy Standards (NMAS). NMAS horizontal accuracy requires that at least 90 percent of well-defined points tested are within 0.02 inch of the true position. In this product, the projection line, grids, and orthoimage are believed to meet NMAS. Positional accuracy of the other data layers is less controllable because of diversity of data sources, and may not meet NMAS. However, other vector layers do generally register well with the orthoimage, which is evidence that the overall accuracy is close to meeting NMAS.

Hypsography

Geospatial Data Presentation Form

Vector digital data

Other Citation Details

This contour featureclass was generated from the 1/3 arc-second version of the 3D Elevation Program. The intendedviewing scale for these features is 1:24,000. The contours are derived from a filtered elevation raster to achievesmoother arcs. In some areas, the 3DEP data may be modified by the National Hydrography Dataset (NHD) flow lines and waterbodies to facilitate improved integration between the hypsography and hydrography on USGS map products. These contourswere generated primarily for use as a layer in GeoPDFs created in the digital mapping program. The raster data source ofcontours is the 3D Elevation Program 1/3 arc-second layer. Secondary datasets include the high resolution flow lines,water bodies, and areas from the National Hydrography Dataset (NHD). The NHD layers are used in hydro-enforcement of theDEM prior to contour generation. The goals of the hydro-enforcement are to prevent contour lines from extending over thesurface of water bodies and to align the contour reentrants with the NHD single- line streams. The 3DEP raster cells areconverted to points. Those points, along with the NHD flow lines are input into an interpolation tool to create a newsurface. The NHD water bodies and areas are preprocessed to attach the minimum and maximum elevation to each polygon. Fromthese precalculated values, an appropriate value is calculated by which to raise the elevation cells under the NHDpolygons. The NHD polygons are then converted into rasters, which in turn will be used to generate a mosaic that includesthe new raster surface. The mosaic is filtered to provide smoother contour lines. Contours are generated and depressionand index contours are identified. There is no guarantee or warranty concerning the accuracy of the data. Users should beaware that temporal changes may have occurred since these data were collected and generated and that some parts of thesedata may no longer represent actual surface conditions. Hydro-enforcement and generalization can also significantly alterthe spatial characteristics of the contours. Users should not use these data for critical applications without a fullawareness of its limitations.

Land Cover - Woodland

Geospatial Data Presentation Form

Vector digital data

Other Citation Details

The Woodland Tint is a derivative land cover product created using several national map layers: three National LandCover Database (NLCD) 2011 raster layers (Tree Canopy, Imperviousness, and Land Cover); and two vector layers (NationalHydrography Dataset and Transportation). The process begins with masking the NLCD 2011 Tree Canopy Data cartographic withNLCD 2011 Imperviousness (values from 1-100), and NLCD 2011 Land Cover (value 11 = Open Water). The resulting raster datawith canopy values of 20 and greater are converted to woodland vector polygons and smoothed via the Paek Algorithm. Thewoodland polygons are masked with buffered Transportation (Roads, Airport Runways, and Railroads) and Hydrography (NHDAreas excluding Inundation Area and NHD Waterbodies excluding Swamp/Marsh). The resulting polygons are checked for scaleappropriate size (minimum size of one acre), and the small woodland polygons as well as small clearings within thewoodland polygons are deleted. For Hawaii and Puerto Rico, two National Land Cover Database (NLCD) raster layers (TreeCanopy 2011 and Imperviousness 2001): and two vector layers(National Hydrography Dataset and Transportation) are used. Theresulting raster data is carried out as before to produce the polygon vector data. For Alaska, the Woodland Tint is aderivative land cover product created using five national map layers: one raster layer, National Land Cover Database(NLCD) 2011 (Land Cover); and four vector layers (National Hydrography Dataset, Transportation Roads, TransportationAirports and Transportation Railroads). The process begins with combining three NLCD 2011 Land Cover V1 Classes (41 -Deciduous Forest, 42 - Evergreen Forest, and 43 - Mixed Forest). The resulting raster data was converted to woodlandvector polygons, and smoothed via the Paek Algorithm. The woodland polygons are masked with buffered Transportation(Roads, Airport Runways, and Railroads) and Hydrography (NHD Areas excluding Inundation Areas and NHD Waterbodiesexcluding Swamp/Marsh). The resulting polygons are checked for scale appropriate size (minimum size of one acre), and thesmall woodland polygons as well as small clearings within the woodland polygons are deleted.

Hydrography

Geospatial Data Presentation Form

vector digital data

Other Citation Details

The National Hydrography Dataset (NHD) is a feature-based database that interconnects and uniquely identifies thestream segments or reaches that make up the nation's surface water drainage system. The high-resolution NHD was originallycreated using 1:24,000-scale data. State and Local Stewards are improving the data by incorporating local updates based onmore current and more accurate source data. Water features in the real world are relatively dynamic and the differences atthe time of data collection mean that water features may not register exactly to other layers. The hydrographic featurenames contained in and displayed by the NHD are extracted and validated from the Geographic Names Information System(GNIS). Spatial objects may be filtered or generalized to achieve a 1:24,000-scale representation.

Dataset source is Census Bureau MAF/TIGER database extracts in the form of TIGER/Line Shapefiles. The TIGER/Lineshapefiles and related database files are an extract of selected geographic and cartographic information from the U.S.Census Bureau's Master Address File/Topologically Integrated Geographic Encoding and Referencing (MAF/TIGER) Database(MTDB). The MTDB represents a seamless national file with no overlaps or gaps between parts, however, each TIGER/Lineshapefile is designed to stand alone as an independent dataset, or they can be combined to cover the entire nation. TheU.S. Geological Survey filters Census roads to remove short road segments which are less than 500 feet in length, are notnamed and are classified as local roads. The USGS National Transportation Dataset functional road classification system isapplied to the Census datasets. The original TIGER/Line Shapefile products are not copyrighted however TIGER/Line andCensus TIGER are registered trademarks of the U.S. Census Bureau. The horizontal spatial accuracy information present inthe TIGER/Line shapefiles is provided for the purposes of statistical analysis and census operations only and the data maynot be suitable for high-precision measurement applications. Full metadata for TIGER/Line shapefiles is available fromU.S. Census Bureau

The PLSS information is for general reference purposes only, and should not be used to determine legal boundaries or land ownership. The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is the authoritative source for PLSS information at the federal level, and the US Topo representation is derived from BLM GIS data files called Cadastral National Spatial Data Infrastructure or CadNSDI. The management of these data is not completely uniform throughout the country. Although this metadata record is included with all maps, PLSS is currently shown on US Topo Maps for only a few states. PLSS will be added to US Topo maps in more states in coming years as BLM authorized CadNSDI format is made available. The three layers USGS stores from PLSS are the Township, First Division and Special Surveys. Metadata for BLM PLSS data is at http://www.geocommunicator.gov/GeoComm/metadata/index.htm#PLSS, though this URL may change in the near future. Alternate sources of PLSS data will continued to be served mainly in western states where BLM is the data steward or the data is from a trusted source. Notes on individual states follow,----Alaska PLSS consists of protracted (computed, not surveyed) data only. For more information see http://sdms.ak.blm.gov/sdms/data_protracted_grid_gis.html----Ohio was the original PLSS state in the early 1800s, and the land network there is unusually complex. The source data include four first-division parcel types. These are all shown on US Topo maps, and are labeled according to BLM's attribution, with a leading letter followed by either a number or more letters. The meanings of the leading letters are S=Section, F=Fractional Section, L=Lot, Q=Quarter Township.

Wetlands - Emergent and Forest/Shrub

Geospatial Data Presentation Form

vector digital data

Other Citation Details

This data set represents the extent, approximate location and type of wetlands and deepwater habitats in the United States and its Territories. While the Fish and Wildlife Service produces a variety of wetland categories, only two (Emergent and Forest/Shrub wetlands as defined by Cowardin et al. (1979)) are included on US Topo Maps.The emergent wetlands depicted do not include lakes, rivers, open water ponds, deepwater marine and estuarine features or non-vegetated, farmed, intermittent and temporarily flooded wetlands. The goal is to provide a visual depiction of the approximate location and extent of Emergent and Forest/Shrub wetlands. Digital wetlands data are intended for use with base maps and digital aerial photography at a scale of 1:12,000 or smaller. Due to the scale, the primary intended use is for data display on the US Topo Maps. This data display is not intended for analysis. The map products were neither designed or intended to represent legal or regulatory products. Questions or comments regarding the interpretation or classification of wetlands can be addressed by visiting http://www.fws.gov/wetlands/FAQs.html These data were developed in conjunction with the publication Cowardin, L.M., V. Carter, F.C. Golet, and E.T. LaRoe. 1979. Classification of Wetlands and Deepwater Habitats of the United States. U.S. Department of the Interior, Fish and Wildlife Service, Washington, DC. FWS/OBS-79/31. For more information on the wetland classification codes visit http://www.fws.gov/wetlands/Data/Wetland-Codes.html. Note that coastline delineations were drawn to follow the extent of wetland features as described by this project and may not match the coastline shown in other base maps.

Shaded Relief

Geospatial Data Presentation Form

raster digital data

Other Citation Details

The Shaded relief is a derivative elevation product created from the USGS 3D Elevation Program (3DEP) 1/3 arc-second DEM data. First there are five separate shaded relief datasets created from the original data. Each shaded relief has different azimuths and altitude values as follows: 00 450, 1350 600, 2700 450, 3150 450, 450 450. These five datasets are then combined into one feature class using map algebra to compute the raster layers using the following equation shadedrelief1 + shadedrelief2 + shadedrelief3 + (shadedrelief4 x 2) + shaded relief5 \ 6. This equation gives double importance to the 3150 azimuth and 450 elevation.
