Section 2: Data Quality

Attribute Accuracy:

Logical Consistency: Polygon(s) are coincident, verified closed, and intersect where intended.

Completeness:

Horizontal Positional Accuracy: Source layer nra_phrng02py2: The pheasant range shapefile was created by splitting the MN State Boundary shapefile (bdry_statepy2) along the northern edge of the pheasant range. Everything south of the line is considered to be within the pheasant range (attribute field Phrange=1) whereas everything north of the line is considered to be outside of the pheasant range (attribute field Phrange=0).
