(1:500K).
Intended use of data
This data was collected originally to produce the 1:500K surface
ownership map of new Mexico. This map was published 12/94 and
is available ($8.00) at any BLM office.
(these plates are used to produce the 1:100k color land status maps).
586 plates were scanned, edited with LT4X (a raster data editing pkg.)
and converted to the Map Overlay Statistical System (MOSS). In MOSS
the individual files were merged into statewide coverages, generalized
by dissolving polygons less than 158 acres, then used to produce the
plates for the 1:500K NM Surface Ownership Map. The individual
coverages were then converted to ARC, re-verified for completeness
and checked for locational accuracy.
Revision, version 2.96, revision 1.
Review of this data included the inspection of the LOG file for
completeness and conformance to the steps described in this narrative
Including, verification of polygon identities, validity of polygon
locations checked against the reference data sets and other ownership
coverages and an exhaustive inspection of the map plates that were
produced with the data.
Related spatial data sets include the other Surface Ownership
coverages and generalized coverage of the Public Land Survey System.
