Data_Set_Description: This data set includes the roads, hydrography, railways, and county
boundaries for the counties along the Kansas River in UTM Zone 14. All data was derived
from the 1990 TIGER/Line Census Files, 1:100000 scale, produced and distributed by the
Bureau of the Census (1991).

Data_Set_History: 1. Each county's coverages for the features roads, hydrography, railways
and county boundaries were projected from the State Plane coordinate system (using the
zone or FIPS Zone Code as described in the source coverage) to UTM Zone 14.
2. Polygon topology was built for the county boundary coverages and arc topology for the
roads, hydro and rail coverages.
3. Each of the 4 features was appended into a single coverage covering all the counties us-
ing the `poly' and `all' options for the county boundaries coverage and the `arc' and `all' op-
tions for the remaining 3 coverages. Polygon topology for the counties coverage was recon-
structed using `clean'.
4. Coverages were converted to DLG-3 Optional format using the `arcdlg' command. Just
prior to conversion, items of type integer titled `major1' and `minor1' were added to the
coverages to allow conversion of attribute information. Information was encoded into the
major1 item only. For the counties coverage, the integers correspond to county names as
follows:
3 = Geary, 5 = Jackson, 13 = Marshall, 15 = Nemaha, 17 = Pottawatomie, 19 = Riley, 21 =
Shawnee, 23 = Wabaunsee. Integers for the roads, hydro and rail coverages correspond to
the number segment of the CFCC classifications described in the TIGER/Line reference
mentioned above. Road features are in classification `A', hydro in `H' and rail in `B'.
