  Description:
    Abstract:
      The Cooperative Hydrology Study (COHYST) is a cooperative
      effort to improve understanding of the hydrological and
      geological conditions in the Platte River Basin of Nebraska
      upstream of Columbus, Nebraska.
    Purpose:
      The purpose of this coverage is to create a boundary for
      the study area.
    Supplemental_Information:
      This coverage was initially created from selecting rivers
      and county boundaries from the USGS TIGER files in UTM,
      NAD27. The coverage was modified to add 3 additional
      counties to the study area and re-projected to State plane,
      NAD83 using the ArcInfo PROJECT command.

DATA_QUALITY_INFORMATION

  Attribute_Accuracy:
    Attribute_Accuracy_Report:
      This coverage was created from selecting arcs from the 1992
      USGS TIGER files. Therefor accuracy is equal to the
      accuracy in those files. Positional accuracy of the
      information is no greater than the established National Map
      Accuracy Standards for 1:100,000 scale maps from USGS.
  Logical_Consistency_Report:
    Tests included staff reviews of boundary on paper and
    digital maps.
  Completeness_Report:
    This coverage was created from selecting streams,
    tributaries and county boundaries from the 1992 USGS TIGER
    files and groundwater divides from USGS files.
