Purpose: This GIS data layer defined the general area of the available browse maps. Both PDF and JPEG browse maps of the defined areas were generated and included in the digital publication.

Logical_Consistency_Report: No duplicate features are present. No additional checks for topological consistency were performed on this data. Completeness_Report: The data layer includes the extent of the 12 browse maps generated for the publication. Lineage: Process_Step: Process_Description: Twelve graphic rectangles were drawn to define the general area of the individual browse maps to be generated. The graphic was then converted to an ArcView shapefile using the Xtools extension. The shapefile attribute table was then modified to include the MAP number and NAME assigned to the map area.
