Abstract:
This data set is a vector polygon digital data structure taken from the

Census Bureau's TIGER/Line Files, 1994, for New Mexico. The source

software used was ARC/INFOR 7.0.3.

Purpose: Provide geographic information for New Mexico County Boundaries
Supplemental_Information:
Procedures_Used:

To automate data, EDAC created an AML that uses the ESRI ARC/INFO Rev.

7.0.3 tigerarc command sequence.

Revisions:

none

Reviews_Applied_to_Data:

Reviewed by Earth Data Analysis Center (EDAC) and the Bureau of

Business and Economic Research (BBER), March 1996.

Data_Quality_Information:
Logical_Consistency_Report:
Polygon and chain-node topology present.

Tolerances were chosen to prevent errors in labels,

intersections, tics, overshoots, and undershoots. Tests

were performed to detect these types of errors and necessary

corrections were made.

Completeness_Report: Data completeness reflects the content of the source file.
Positional_Accuracy:
Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy:
Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report:
The root-mean square error is generally .003 map units

or less.

Entity_and_Attribute_Information:
Overview_Description:
Entity_and_Attribute_Overview:
There are two important attributes for this coverage, county and name.

County shows the county ID (FIPS). Name shows the name of the counties.

For more information, see the TIGER/Line Files, 1994 Technical Documentation,

prepared by the Bureau of the Census. Washington, DC: The Bureau, 1994.

Entity_and_Attribute_Detail_Citation:
An alteration was made to the 'county' attribute. Sandoval County consists

of a main polygon and an unconnected sliver enclosed between Los Alamos and Sante

Fe counties. Both had the same county ID (FIPS) of 43. The ID of the sliver was

changed to 943, so that county-wide data applied to Sandoval County would not also

attach to the sliver and distort area dependent calculations.
