Source_Name: Tiger/Line Census Files, 1990; Arc coverages for each county were obtained from
Tim Rourke, CEMRO
Bibliographic_Reference: Tiger/Line Census Files, 1990, Technical Documentation/prepared by

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 15.
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 using
the `poly' and `all' options for the county boundaries coverage and the `arc' and `all' options
for the remaining 3 coverages. Polygon topology for the counties coverage was reconstructed
using `clean'.
4. Coverages were converted to DLG-3 Optional format using the `arcdlg' command. Just pri-
or to conversion, items of type integer titled `major1' and `minor1' were added to the cover-
ages 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: 1 = Douglas, 5
= Jackson, 7 = Jefferson, 9 = Johnson, 11 = Leavenworth, 15 = Nemaha, 21 = Shawnee, 23 =
Wabaunsee, 25 = Wyandotte. Integers for the roads, hydro and rail coverages correspond to
the number segment of the CFCC classifications described in the TIGER/Line reference men-
tioned above. Road features are in classification `A', hydro in `H' and rail in `B'.
