Abstract
United States National Atlas Federal Land Lines is a line theme representing the linear federally owned land features (for example, national parkways and wild and scenic rivers) of the United States. No data exists for Hawaii.
Purpose
United States National Atlas Federal Land Lines 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 tools in ArcGIS. The SDC data set is then imported into a file geodatabase to verify, validate, and if needed repair 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.
