- 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. The minimum map resolution is 640 acres or one square mile. Generally, features under this size are not shown. There may be private inholdings within the boundaries of Federal lands in this map layer.
- 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.

- FEATURE1
- The primary or only type of Federal or Indian land and the owning agency. Where a polygon represents multiple Federal or Indian land types, this attribute describes the smaller or 'contained' land. (Boundary layer attribute codesU.S. GeoData Data Users Guide 3)
- Definition Source
- National Atlas of the United States and the United States Geological Survey
- FEATURE2
- The secondary type of Federal or Indian land and the owning agency. Where a polygon represents multiple Federal or Indian land types, this attribute, in general, describes a land that surrounds or 'contains' the land referenced in FEATURE1. FEATURE2 may also be coded as 'Open Water' if a part of the Federal or Indian property referenced in FEATURE1 includes water. (Boundary layer attribute codesU.S. GeoData Data Users Guide 3)

- FEATURE3
- The tertiary type of Federal or Indian land and the owning agency. Where a polygon represents multiple Federal or Indian land types, this attribute, in general, describes a land that surrounds or 'contains' the land referenced in FEATURE2. FEATURE3 may also be coded as 'Open Water' if a part of the Federal or Indian property referenced in FEATURE2 includes water. (Boundary layer attribute codesU.S. GeoData Data Users Guide 3)
