question was so small, projection adjustments were not made. Data in this region will not be
accurate.
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 us-
ing `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: 2 = Dundy, 3 =
Hitchcock, 4 = Red Willow, 5 = Furnas, 6 = Nuckolls, 7 = Harlan, 8 = Webster, 9 = Franklin, 10
= Washington, 11 = Republic, 12 = Jewell, 13 = Cloud, 14 = Clay, 15 = Dickinson.
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 classification
`A', hydro in `H' and rail in `B'.
