Section 1: Overview

Originator:Minnesota Department of Transportation (Mn/DOT)

Title: NAVIGABLE_WATERS

Abstract: NAVIGABLE WATER, MINNESOTA represents navigable waterway centerlines within the state of Minnesota. It originated as an arc coverage with the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers. Then MnDOT extracted the arcs that lay within the state boundary. A description of the Navigable Water layer is included in Section 5 of this document - Entity and Attribute Overview.

Purpose: NAVIGABLE WATER, MINNESOTA was developed to fill a need at Minnesota Department of Transportation for a GIS layer of navigable waterways within the state for planning purposes.

Time Period of Content Date: 2020-12-31

Currentness Reference: The original digitization was done during the 1990-1995 time period. For any given area, MnDOT used the most recent USGS 7.5-minute quadrangle available at that time. For BaseMap, the following data layer was updated as recently as January 2003 using the most up-to-date available information:

Progress: Complete

Maintenance and Update Frequency: As needed

Spatial Extent of Data: State of Minnesota

Bounding Coordinates: -97.508970

Section 2: Data Quality

Attribute Accuracy: Unknown

Logical Consistency: Data have been topologically structured and verified.

Completeness: The layer is complete for the entire state of Minnesota.

Horizontal Positional Accuracy: Location accuracy for features derived from USGS 7.5-minute quadrangles cannot be assumed to exceed National Map Accuracy Standards for 1:24,000 scale maps (+/- 40 feet or 12 meters).

Vertical Positional Accuracy: Not applicable

Lineage: It originated as an arc coverage with the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers. Then MnDOT extracted the arcs that lay within the state boundary, and calibrated the layer. A description of the Navigable water layer is included in Section 5 of this document - Entity and Attribute Overview.
