- Abstract
- The US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Ports database is an extract from the National Waterway Network database consisting of 224 points coded as US Army Corps of Engineers ports.
- Purpose
- The Ports database is a geographic database of the US Army Corps of Engineers Ports in and around the United States, for analytical studies of waterway performance, for compiling commodity flow statistics, and for mapping purposes.

- Credit
- The National Waterway Network was created on behalf of the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the U.S. Bureau of Census, and the U.S. Coast Guard by Vanderbilt University and Oak Ridge National Laboratory. Additional agencies with input into network development include Volpe National Transportation Systems Center, Maritime Administration, Military Traffic Management Command, Tennessee Valley Authority, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, and the Federal Railroad Administration.

- Other Citation Details
- The National Waterway Network is a comprehensive network database of the nation's navigable waterways.
- Data Quality Information
- Attribute Accuracy Report
- Attribute accuracy is tested by manual comparison of the source with hard copy printouts and/or symbolized display of digital line graphs on an interactive computer graphic system; selected attributes that cannot be visually verified on plots or on screen, are interactively queried and verified on screen.
- Horizontal Positional Accuracy Report
- The accuracy of each point element is correlated to the data source used to derive that element. For example, links and nodes derived from 1:100,000 scale Digital Line Graphs are more accurate than links and nodes derived from 1:500,000 scale NOAA Navigational Charts. Elements with an "M" in the source field (indicating an unknown or missing source) are the least accurate.
