What does this data set describe?

Title: onemap_prod.SDEADMIN.fdtwwrc_poly
Abstract:
The North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission in cooperation with the N.C. Center for Geographic Information and Analysis developed the WRC DPMTW digital data to enhance planning and management of trout streams. The GIS data set depicts the trout regulations in effect on trout streams managed under the DPMTW program as listed in the 1997-98 North Carolina Inland Fishing, Hunting & Trapping Regulations Digest (Effective July 1, 1997 to June 30, 1998). This file enables the user to identify the regulations in effect through a color coding system that reflects the foreground color of signs posted along the streams. The file also reveals whether or not the streams are located on public lands (game lands). Publically accessible lands data were derived from Federal lands files, North Carolina game lands files, and data digitized from private ownership maps. Plans are to update these maps as changes occur. These maps are provided as a guide to trout waters and users should refer to the current Regulations Digest to confirm regulations in effect.

Revisions and updates to this layer include:
2.) filename: fdtwwrc1298  The December 1998 update to this
layer consisted of projecting the data from NAD27 datum, State
Plane projection, units of measure feet TO: NAD83 DATUM, State
Plane PROJECTION, UNITS OF MEASURE METERS.  This was done to
comply with the NC Geographic Information Coordinating Council's
"Statement of Direction for North Carolina Corporate Geographic
Database Horizontal Reference, Datum and Unit of Measure".
This reprojecting was done in various ways depending on the
data type and content.  Vector data was projected using the
'project' command in ESRI's Arc software and topology was
cleaned and built based on coverage needs.  Raster data was
projected using ESRI's Grid module and various steps as applicable.

Why was the data set created?

This data layer was created to map existing waters managed under the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission's Designated Public Mountain Trout Waters program for management and public information purposes. Output files were used to print an agency publication entitled "North Carolina Trout Fishing Maps". This publication went on sale to the public in 1997.

  2. How were the data generated, processed, and modified?

    Date: 1995 (process 1 of 2)
    1) 1:100,000-scale hydrography Digital Line Graph Files where clipped out by county boundary using Arc/Info. 2) United States Forest Service surface ownership polygon coverage and NC CGIA WRC Gamelands polygon coverage were merged with the 1:100,000-scale hydrography Digital Line Graph Files for each county. The intersection of the polygons with the hydrography creates a node that delineates sections of streams that are regulated by the WRC. 3) Using the Designated Public Mountain Trout Water section of the 1997 -1998 Regulation Digest, reaches of regulated streams and lakes where coded appropriately for each county. 4) Check plots where created for each county showing location and designation of each regulated stream. The plots where then reviewed by WRC for accuracy. 5) The reviewed and corrected maps where then printed by WRC in the North Carolina Fishing Maps atlas. 6) The twenty five counties where edgematched and appended together to create one single Arc/Info coverage.

How reliable are the data; what problems remain in the data set?

  1. How well have the observations been checked?

    The NC WRC delineated the public game lands on mylar overlays mapped at 1:100,000 scale. NC CGIA digitized these areas and attributed them with WRC designated trout waters classification. Attributes were were checked by WRC staff. Linework, DLG code - NCCGIA.

  2. How accurate are the geographic locations?

    Hydrography 1:100,000-scale features were taken from the USGS 1:100,000-scale DLGs. Supplemented hydrographic features were digitized from 1:24,000-scale bases and the linework checked against the bases to within a linewidth.

  3. How accurate are the heights or depths?

  4. Where are the gaps in the data? What is missing?

    These data represent all designated trout waters managed by the NC Wildlife Resources Commission and as listed in the North Carolina Inland Fishing, Hunting & Trapping Regulation Digest for July 1, 1997 to June 30, 1998

  5. How consistent are the relationships among the observations, including topology?

    Using ESRI's ARC/INFO GIS software, the dataset was built for arc and polygon topology using the "build" command. The data set was then cleaned with a fuzzy tolerance of 1 foot. Topology has not been edited since the last build or clean.
