Process_Step:
Process_Description:
The following steps were performed by ESRI for Data & Maps 2002: Downloaded Sea of Aral image from <http://visibleearth.nasa.gov/data/ev89/ev8936_AralSea.A2001165.0710.250m.jpg>. Locally registered the image to the vector data using ArcView® Image Analysis creating shapefiles of the current water area. These shapefiles were used as the basis for updating the current extent of the sea and adding a new feature. Copied ArcGIS™ layer file (.lyr), ArcView legend file (.avl), and projection file (.prj) and created spatial indices.

The following steps were performed by ESRI: Extracted the features from ArcWorld 1:25M. Added and replaced features from ArcWorld 1:3M. Generalized to match detail of the Cntry00.shp. Added attribute values from the Rand McNally New International Atlas, the Times Atlas of the World, and the Digital Chart of the World. Updated Area attribute. Removed unneeded attributes. Renamed an attribute. Created ArcGIS™ layer file (.lyr). Created ArcView legend file (.avl). Created projection file (.prj). Ran ArcView Avenue request ExportClean, and created spatial indices.
