Description:

Abstract: This shapefile is an extract of selected geographic and cartographic information from the 1995 TIGER/Line files detailing roads and highways. This dataset includes primary highways with limited access, primary roads without limited access, secondary and connecting roads, local, neighborhood and rural roads, vehicular trails, roads with special characteristics, and roads, trails, stairs and walkways used by bicyclists and pedestrians.

Purpose: For use in conjunction with other Census data in geographic and demographic analysis.

Attribute_Accuracy:

Attribute_Accuracy_Report: Original TIGER/Line data is accurate against Federal Processing Standards (FIPS), FIPS Publication 6-4 and FIPS-55 at the 100% level for the codes and base names. The remaining attribute information has been examined but has not been fully tested for accuracy.

Logical_Consistency_Report: According to TIGER/Line documentation: the feature network of lines (as represented by Record Types 1 and 2) is complete for census purposes. Spatial objects in TIGER/Line belong to the "Geometry and Topology" (GT) class of objects in the "Spatial Data Transfer Standard" (SDTS) FIPS publication 173 and are topologically valid. Node/geometry and topology (GT)-polygon/chain relationships are collected or generated to satisfy topological edit requirements. These requirements include: complete chains must begin and end at nodes, complete chains must connect to each other at nodes, complete chains do not extend through nodes, left and right GT-polygons are defined for each complete chain element and are consistent throughout the extract process, and the chains representing the limits of the files are free of gaps. The Census Bureau performed automated tests to ensure logical consistency and limits of files. All polygons are tested for closure. Some polygons in the TIGER/Line files may be so small that the polygon internal point has been manually placed on a node that defines the polygon perimeter. These small polygons have been detected, and corrections will be incorporated in the Census TIGER data in the future. The Census Bureau uses its internally developed Geographic Update System to enhance and modify spatial and attribute data in the Census TIGER data base. Standard geographic codes, such as FIPS codes for states, counties, municipalities and places, are used when encoding spatial entities. The Census Bureau performed spatial data tests for logical consistency of the codes during the compilation of the original Census TIGER data base files. Most of the codes themselves were provided to the Census Bureau by the USGS, the agency responsible for maintaining FIPS 55. Feature attribute information has been examined but has not been fully tested for consistency.

Process_Description: Information concerning steps taken to create TIGER/Line is available in "Chapter 5: Data Quality" in TIGER/Line 1995 Documentation (as of 7/28/98 available at http://www.census.gov/geo/www/tiger/tl95doc.html).

Process_Date: Unknown

Process_Step:

Process_Description: This file was processed from TIGER/Line 1995, by conversion into Arc/Info coverage format using the TIGERTOOL command in a custom AML program run in Arc/Info version 7.1.2. Most label errors were corrected. It was then exported into Arc/Info Interchange format (.e00). This file was also reprojected from Geographic to Universal Transverse Mercator, with units converted from decimal degrees to meters. Some corrections were made to the data in this conversion process.

Process_Date: 1998

Process_Step:

Process_Description: Reprojected from UTM/metters to Geographic/Decimal Degrees using GRS80 and NAD83. Afterwards, ARCShape command used to convert from Arc/Info coverage format to shapefile. Work was completed using a custom AML program run in Arc/Info version 7.1.2.
