Abstract
United States Federal Land (line) is a polyline theme representing the linear federally owned land features (for example, national parkways and wild and scenic rivers) of the United States. Attribute information includes the name, type and length of the features. This dataset is from the 2008 ESRI Data Maps Collection.
Purpose
United States Federal Land (line) provides the linear federally owned land features for geographic display and analysis at regional and national levels.

Data Quality Information
Logical Consistency Report
The shapefile is converted to SDC (Smart Data Compression) format using either ESRI SDC Data Development Kit Professional 2 (DDKP2) or tools in ArcGIS. The SDC data set is then loaded into ArcSDE to verify and validate the geometry.
Completeness Report
After processing, the data set is checked for drawing display and number of records and file sizes compared with source materials. Data completeness generally reflects the content of the original Digital Line Graph (DLG) files.
Horizontal Positional Accuracy Report
The geospatial part of this data set was originally extracted from the individual 1:2,000,000-scale State boundary Digital Line Graph (DLG) files produced by the U.S. Geological Survey which have a positional accuracy of 1,720 meters. It was updated several times using various sources whose horizontal positional accuracies are unknown.
