Microsoft Windows XP Version 5.1 (Build 2600) Service Pack 2; ESRI ArcCatalog 9.2.0.1324 Positional Accuracy is only as good as the GPS Receiver used. Thematic accuracy was not checked for this layer. Thematic data was collected on the ground by trained ecologists. All point features were checked for uniqueness and for correct and complete attributing. All points required for the accuracy assessment at Washita Battlefield National Historic Site are included in this coverage. GPS accuracy varies for each plot. Estimate error values were recorded. Error in meters +/- Uncorrected GPS Points recorded with a handheld, commercial GPS receiver. Error values were recorded. GPS accuracy varies for each plot. Estimated error values were recorded. Error in meters +/- Uncorrected GPS Points recorded with a handheld, commercial GPS receiver. Error values were recorded. None Unpublished Material Unknown Unknown Unknown Ground Condition paper 2006 ground condition None None Points were located using a stratified random sampling method. Portions of the methodology were derived from the USGS/NPS Vegetation Mapping Program's Accuracy Assessment Procedures. Vegetation data at each point was recorded by qualified ecologists using a standard NVC Point data collection form. Data was manually transferred to a MS Access database. Point coverage was created by importing the database into ArcView as an event theme. 2006 Dan Cogan Cogan Technology Inc. Vice-President mailing and physical address
