Other_Citation_Details:
Digital line graphs (DLGs) of hypsography (surface elevations) from 7.5-minute (1:24,000 scale) topographic maps were produced as a cooperative project between the Florida Department of Environmental Protection and the United States Geological Survey (USGS). Data were obtained from topographic maps of the USGS. These DLGs were processed by personnel to produce GIS layers.

Description:
Abstract:
CONTOURS_24K_USGS_Apalach is a PRELIMINARY shapefile containing elevation contours produced at a scale of 1:24,000. Elevation values are in feet.
The following is extracted from metadata of the United States Geological Survey for the original DLGs:
"Digital line graph (DLG) data are digital representations of cartographic information. DLGs of map features are converted to digital form from maps and related sources... All DLG data distributed by the USGS are DLG - Level 3 (DLG-3), which means the data contain a full range of attribute codes, have full topological structuring, and have passed certain quality-control checks."
Purpose:
This shapefile is a digital representation of elevation contours shown on 7.5-minute (1:24,000 scale) topographic quadrangle maps of the United States Geological Survey. It has been processed into a GIS layer with simplified attributes for ease of use.
The following is extracted from metadata of the United States Geological Survey for the original DLGs:
"DLGs depict information about geographic features on or near the surface of the Earth, terrain, and political and administrative units. These data were collected as part of the National Mapping Program."

DATA DISCLAIMER
This still PRELIMINARY data set as of Oct. 1, 2004 was compiled by Florida Department of Environmental Protection, using data believed to be accurate; however, a degree of error is inherent in all data. This product is distributed "AS-IS" without warranties of any kind, either expressed or implied, including but not limited to warranties of suitability to a particular purpose or use. No attempt has been made in either the design or production of these data to define the limits or jurisdiction of any federal, state, or local government. These data are intended for use only at the published scale or smaller and are for reference purposes only. They are not to be construed as a legal document or survey instrument. A detailed on-the-ground survey and historical analysis of a single site may differ from these data.
CREDIT
It is suggested that the Florida Department of Environmental Protection be cited in any products generated from this data. The following source citation should be included: CONTOURS_24K_USGS_APALACH: Elevation Contours from 7.5-Minute Topographic Quadrangle Maps (United States Geological Survey, 1:24,000, Line Shapefile). .

Attribute_Accuracy_Report:
Unknown. Basically the contours are the hypsography
layer off the 1:24,000 Topo maps of various years. They are edge matched.
Logical_Consistency_Report:
Unknown
The following is extracted from metadata of the United States Geological Survey for the original DLGs:
"Topological requirements include: lines must begin and end at nodes, lines must connect to each other at nodes, lines do not extend through nodes, left and right areas are defined for each line element and are consistent throughout the file, and the lines representing the limits of the file (neatline) are free of gaps. The tests of logical consistency were performed by the USGS PROSYS program. The neatline was generated by connecting the four corners of the digital file, as established during initialization of the digital file. All data outside the enclosed region were ignored and all data crossing these geographically straight lines were clipped at the neatline. Data within a specified tolerance of the neatline were snapped to the neatline. Neatline straightening aligned the digitized edges of the digital data with the generated neatline, that is, with the longitude/latitude lines in geographic coordinates. All internal areas were tested for closure using PROSYS."
Completeness_Report:
Unknown
The following is extracted from metadata of the United States Geological Survey for the original DLGs:
"For Digital Revision Status = Not revised: Data completeness reflects the content of the source quadrangle. Features may have been eliminated or generalized on the source graphic, due to scale and legibility constraints. For Digital Revision Status = Limited Update: This file has undergone limited update digital revision. The file contains only: those features that are photoidentifiable on monoscopic source, supplemented with limited ancillary source, and those features, present on the original source quadrangle, that can not be reliably photoidentified but that are not considered particularly prone to change. For Digital Revision Status = Standard Update: This file has undergone standard update digital revision. The data completeness of this file meets NMD standards for feature content."

This metadata file was written from a very incomplete knowledge of the Florida Department of Environmental Protection contour lines developed from the 1:24,000 topographic
Maps. This file was written to document what is known by the contact person listed above but the complete metadata file for this file is still under development by the Florida
Department of Environmental Protection. That metadata file should supersede the current one when it becomes available.
