Unknown Unknown Horizontal accuracy is designed to meet NMAS for the published map scale (1:12,000) - horizontal accuracy of well-defined points is approximately 4-5 meters. It should be noted that many of the polygon edge represent fuzzy boundaries or ecotones and, while interpreted as accurately as possible, these boundaries do not correspond to the same accuracy standards as the well-defined points described in the National Map Accuracy Standards. N/A Unknown Unknown photo 12,000 Color-infrared aerial photographs 20001024 ground condition photos Unknown Vegetation polygons were delineated from 1:12,000 color aerial photographs recorded on October 24, 2000. The overlays were orthorectified to photogrammetric control and then converted to vector GIS Layers. After editing, the individual photo coverages were edgematched and attributed to create the final GIS vegetation layer. \\MARYVILLE1\tj_laptop_c\CUGA\Geodatabase\Cumberland_Gap_Final.mdb unknown Metadata imported.
