  3. What similar or related data should the user be aware of?


How reliable are the data; what problems remain in the data set?

  1. How well have the observations been checked?

    Inventory digitizing from 7.5 min or 15 min usgs quads at archive, or from base project location maps. Accuracy to map standards, label transcription

  2. How accurate are the geographic locations?

    Inventories digitized from 7.5 min or 15 min usgs quads at archive, or from base project location maps. Accuracy lto map standards

  3. How accurate are the heights or depths?

  4. Where are the gaps in the data? What is missing?

    Northern Nevada Archive data (NSM) entry complete to December 2002. Southern Nevada (Harry Reid Center )data digitized December 2002, limited data entry Linclon and White Pine Counties. BLM data per individual projects.

  5. How consistent are the relationships among the observations, including topology?

    Originally digitized as point (less than 2.5 acre inventory), line or polygon. Points buffered to 56 m radius polygon (approx 2.5 acres), lines buffered to 15 meter radius (30 m width). all merged with polygons for single search.
