- Abstract
- U.S. Major Water (Generalized) represents areas that are major water features within United States.
- Purpose
- U.S. Major Water (Generalized) provides thousands of named major water areas such as bays, canals, lakes, reservoirs, and large rivers. U.S. Major Water is detailed enough for geographic display at local, regional, and national levels.
- Supplemental Information
- Largest scale when displaying the data: 1:100,000.

- Data Quality Information
- Logical Consistency Report
- No duplicate features are present. The shapefile is exported using Avenue request ExportClean. This request verifies and enforces the correctness of shapes.
- Completeness Report
- After processing, the data set is checked for drawing display and number of records and file sizes compared with source materials.
- Horizontal Positional Accuracy Report
- The geospatial part of this data set was extracted from the 1990 Census Version TIGER/Line files (CD-ROM edition). To improve the shape accuracy, GDT ran a process to identify irregular features and give them more accurate shapes. It was then generalized to a tolerance of 27 feet. Due to the processing, the positional accuracy in unknown but close to the original TIGER/line files of +/- 167 feet approximately. The positional accuracy of the TIGER/Line coordinates varies with the source materials used but at best meets the established National Map Accuracy standards (+/- 167 feet approximately) where 1:100,000-scale maps from the USGS are the source. The Census Bureau cannot specify the accuracy of feature updates added by its field staff or of features derived from the GBF/DIME-Files or other map sources. Thus, the level of positional accuracy in the TIGER/Line files is not suitable for high-precision measurement applications such as engineering problems, property transfers, or other uses that might require highly accurate measurements of the earth's surface.
