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: MO: 1=Andrew,
3=Atchison, 5=Boone, 7=Buchanan, 9=Callaway, 11=Carroll, 13=Chariton, 15=Clay, 17=Cole,
19=Cooper, 21=Franklin, 23=Gasconade, 25=Holt, 27=Howard, 29=Jackson, 31=Lafayette,
33=Moniteau, 35=Montgomery, 37=Osage, 39=Platte, 41=Ray, 43=Saline, 45=St. Charles,
47=St. Louis City, 49=St. Louis, 51=Warren; NE: 55=Cass, 59=Douglas, 61=Nemaha, 63=Otoe,
65=Richardson, 67=Sarpy, 71=Washington; KS: 73=Atchison, 75=Doniphan, 77=Leaven-
worth, 79=Wyandotte; IA: 81=Fremont, 83=Harrison, 85=Mills, 87=Monona, 89=Pottawat-
tamie, 91=Woodbury.
Integers for the roads, hydro and rail coverages correspond to the number segment of the
CFCC classification described in the TIGER/Line reference. Road features are in classifica-
tion `A', hydro in `H' and rail in `B'.

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. Nebraska coverages
were projected from NAD27 to NAD83 (Kansas coverages were in NAD83). NOTE: The
western edge of Dundy county extends approx. 500 ft. into UTM Zone 13. Because the area in
