Purpose: U.S. Major Water provides thousands of named major water areas such as bays, canals, lakes, reservoirs, and large rivers. U.S. Major Water is detailed enough for geographic display at local, regional, and national levels. Supplemental_Information: Major water of the United States (MJWATER) is an ESRI shapefile with polygon features. This is a subset of the original dataset. It has been clipped to the extent of the Gulf of Maine surficial sediment GIS project area. Largest scale when displaying the data: 1:100,000.

Browse_Graphic_File_Type: GIF Native_Data_Set_Environment: Microsoft Windows 2000 Version 5.1 (Build 2600) ; ESRI ArcCatalog 8.2.0.700 Data_Quality_Information: Logical_Consistency_Report: No duplicate features are present. The shapefile is exported using Avenue request ExportClean. This request verifies and enforces the correctness of shapes. Completeness_Report: After processing, the data set is checked for drawing display and number of records and file sizes compared with source materials. Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report: The geospatial part of this data set was extracted from the 1990 Census Version TIGER/Line - files (CD-ROM edition). To improve the shape accuracy, GDT ran a process to identify irregular features and give them more accurate shapes. It was then generalized to a tolerance of 27 feet. Due to the processing, the positional accuracy in unknown but close to the original TIGER/line files of +/- 167 feet approximately. The positional accuracy of the TIGER/Line coordinates varies with the source materials used but at best meets the established National Map Accuracy standards (+/- 167 feet approximately) where 1:100,000-scale maps from the USGS are the source. The Census Bureau cannot specify the accuracy of feature updates added by its field staff or of features derived from the GBF/DIME-Files or other map sources. Thus, the level of positional accuracy in the TIGER/Line files is not suitable for high-precision measurement applications such as engineering problems, property transfers, or other uses that might require highly accurate measurements of the earth's surface.

In many cases these line segments followed the actual shape only roughly. To remedy this, a process was developed to identify irregular features and give them more accurate shapes. Although lines are reasonable for streets, they often do not represent areas such as water very well. A river, for example, is represented by two lines that correspond to the two shorelines. In order for a GIS user to represent this river in a way that makes sense on a map, it is necessary to manually join the lines into a polygon that can be filled with an appropriate color. GDT applied both algorithmic and manual processes to create separate polygonal layers for water areas.

Added all updates and changes manually from Dynamap/2000 v9.0. Converted to North American Datum of 1983 (NAD83). Generalized to a tolerance of 0.005 miles (27 feet). Corrected an error on the Potomac River using Dynamap/2000 v10.0 as source. Created ArcGIS? layer file (.lyr). Created ArcView legend file (.avl). Created projection file (.prj). Ran ArcView Avenue request ExportClean, and created spatial indices.
