There are no added attributes other than those created by Arc/INFO. The data has no duplicated lines, all lines intersect at nodes. PC Arc/INFO 3.5 was used to "CLEAN" the line work to create a coverage with polygon and arc topology. ArcView 3.0 was then used to convert the coverage to a shape file. All monuments and corners documented on the surveys were used to create the boundary data. PC Arc/INFO 3.5 was used to "GENERATE" the coverage from the corners documented on the original survey plats. The resultant coverage was checked visually against the sources. John G.

The coordinate information was entered as X,Y. Once entered, the text file was entered with the "GENERATE" command into PC Arc/INFO 3.5. "CLEAN" was then performed on the coverage. Coincident lines were then deleted and the coverage was "CLEANed". A portion of the boundary was digitized from the survey maps. The coverage was then converted to an ArcView shape file. Some portions of the sources were digitized because X,Y coordinates did not exist in the survey. main unit tracts 56 and 57 tract 46 tract 68 tract 61 vafobndy 199701 vafo boundary North Carolina State University, Computer Graphic Center Bill Slocumb Research Associate mailing address
