Description:

Abstract:

U.S. Major Highways represents the major highways of the United States. These include Interstates, US Highways, State Highways and major roads. This dataset is a subset of the Streets dataset. It contains all Class 1 and 2 roads segments plus any other roads segments necessary to provide network connectivity for the Class_Rte field.

Purpose:

U.S. Major Highways provides a subset of highways and major roads from the very detailed Streets dataset for national, state, and regional display.

Supplemental_Information: Largest scale when displaying the data: 1:100,000.

Native_Data_Set_Environment:

Microsoft Windows 2000 Version 5.0 (Build 2195) Service Pack 3; ESRI ArcCatalog 9.0.0.532

Data_Quality_Information:

Logical_Consistency_Report:

No duplicate features are present. The shapefile is converted to SDC (Smart Data Compression) format in ArcSDE®. This verifies and validates 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.

Positional_Accuracy:

Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy:

Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report:

The geospatial part of this data set was extracted from the 2000 Census TIGER/Line® files. The positional accuracy varies with the source materials used, but generally the information is no better than the established national map Accuracy standards for 1:100,000-scale maps from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). To improve the accuracy, GDT ran a process against the entire nationwide database.
The level of positional accuracy in the StreetMap 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.
