Paul Lauck USGS/CSS/Core Science Analytics and Synthesis Unknown vector digital data http://www1.usgs.gov/vip/chcu/chcugeodata.zip doi:10.5066/F7QJ7F88 This is a vector polygon file showing the administrative boundaries of the Chaco Canyon, Pueblo Pintado, Kin Yaa and Kin Bineola park units of Chaco Culture National Historical Park. This dataset is a composite of two park boundary shapefiles acquired from the NPS data store: CHCU_BoundaryArea_2007.shp and Past_Boundary_Poly.shp. The coordinates for these datasets were heads up digitized using ArcMap GIS Software. To show the location of the Chaco Culture National Historical Park administrative boundaries and provide a working boundary for the vegetation map. The intended use of all data in the park's GIS library is to support diverse park activities including planning, management, maintenance, research, and interpretation. The shapefile was imported into a geodatabase by the USGS/CSS/Core Science Analytics and Synthesis. 2007 ground condition Complete As needed Chaco Culture National Historical Park -108.155080 -107.661548 36.097558 35.666526 National Park Service Theme Category Thesaurus Chaco Canyon NHP Segment boundaries boundary pre-cadastral survey boundary shift polygon ISO 19115 Topic Category boundaries None CHCU Chaco Culture National Historical Park New Mexico San Juan County McKinley County USA United States of America North America none none National Park Service, Southern Colorado Plateau Network Paul Lauck Cartographic Assistant mailing address

In addition, the attributes were compared against a master set of valid attributes. There are no duplicate features present. Polygon features (if present) begin and end at the same point. This data was complete at the time of its collection. Estimated accuracies in the X and Y direction of 1 to 20 meters from the true location. The horizontal positional accuracy was tested by verifying the location of the data on-screen relative to the corresponding 1:24000 USGS DRG (digital raster graph) in the same projection and datum. The relative positions between the two datasets onscreen was compared to the hardcopy map used as the base for digitizing.

Chaco Culture National Historical Park, National Park Service 2007 vector digital data Heads up digitzed from USGS 1:24000 topo by Brad_Shattuck@nps.gov All features were verified onscreen. https://irma.nps.gov/App/Reference/Search online 2007 ground condition Past_Boundary_Poly.shp Provided the administrative boundary for the Pueblo Pintado park unit. Added the USGS Topo into ArcMap Software. Created a new polygon dataset. Using the graphics drawing tools available, sketched new features into the dataset based on prior knowledge of the area shown in the background. Created user defined fields in the feature's attribute table. Interactively populated the fields based on prior knowledge of the features. All features and attributes were verified onscreen.

Deleted the polygon representing the Pueblo Pintado unit from the CHCU_Boundary_2007 shapefile in an edit session using Arc Editor. Combined the CHCU_BoundaryArea_2007.shp and Past_Boundary_Poly.shp files into a single shapefile using the merge tool in ArcToolbox.

The attribute table was updated in the newly created shapefile, including the Name, Perimeter and Area fields. The Area_acres and Perimeter calculations were verified. Feature data was compared to features in the digital raster graph and/or digital orthophoto quarter quads for accuracy.
