Abstract:

U.S. State and Canada Province Boundaries represents the boundary lines between the states of the United States and the provinces of Canada.
This data set provides six levels of generalization for displaying the data at different scales. Everything about the levels is the same but the level of generalization and its name. The least generalized level is called <data set name>. The next more generalized level is called <data set name>_1, and so on. For best performance, use the most appropriate generalized level when displaying or printing.

Purpose:

U.S. State and Canada Province Boundaries provides boundary lines between the states of the United States and the provinces of Canada for national, state, and provincial display.

Supplemental_Information:

Largest scale when displaying the data at the least generalized level: <data set name>: 1:100,000.

Native_Data_Set_Environment:

Microsoft Windows XP Version 5.1 (Build 2600) Service Pack 2; ESRI ArcCatalog 9.3.0.1746

Data_Quality_Information:

Logical_Consistency_Report:

The shapefile is converted to SDC (Smart Data Compression) format using either ESRI SDC Data Development Kit Professional 2 (DDKP2) or tools in ArcGIS. The SDC data set is then loaded into ArcSDE® to verify and validate 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. This data set provides six levels of generalization.

Positional_Accuracy:

Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy:

Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report:

The horizontal positional accuracy is 167 feet for the least generalized level. The least generalized level has the highest horizontal positional accuracy.
