Description: Abstract: This theme contains PLS lines for the State of Oregon. This Pls theme includes donation claims lands. Attributes in this theme show Township Range and Section values.



Purpose: The purpose of this theme is to delineate the Oregon Public Land survey lines including the donation land claim parcels.



Supplemental_Information:

Procedures_Used: The PLSS theme was created from USGS 1:100,000 DLG's. No records exist of the process used to convert the DLG files into Arc/Info format. In May of 1994 the service center dissolved the existing coverage on the loc-dlc item. Once the dissolve was complete the theme was cleaned using a dangle length of 1.5 and a fuzzy-tolerance of 1.5 using the poly option. The next step was using the centroid- labels command with the inside option. (This moved the polygon labels to the center of the polygon.) The build command was used to create topology after the labels were moved. The addxy command was used to create the x-coord and the y-coord items. The cover was exported three times. The external command was run on the theme to correct the info file. The theme was than exported a fourth time. The PLS theme was copied to another work directory where it was exported 4 more times over the ensuing 3 years. In February of 1997 the them was imported and projected into the state transfer standard. Once the theme was project it had topology built. Final the theme was imported in again so metadata could be created.



Revisions: The current version has not been revised



Reviews_Applied_to_Data: This theme is a legacy data theme. No current members of the SSCGIS or the OWRD theme were around when it was created. The data table has been spot checked, but the other checks that occured are unknown.



Related_Spatial_and_Tabular_Data_Sets: None



Other_References_Cited: This theme was created from 1:100,000K dlg data by the Oregon Department of Water Resources.



Notes: Errors have been identified in the PLS theme around the borders of Oregon. Cleanup work is planned, but it is a low priority item.



Time_Period_of_Content: Time_Period_Information: Single_Date/Time: Calendar_Date: 1994 Currentness_Reference: The theme was created prior to 1994 from data of unknown age.
