November 1, 1996 Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) (** This data set now only contains the GIS corrected TxDOT urban/county files.) Digital County/Urban Map Files I. Map Content TxDOT county/urban map files were digitized from USGS 7.5 minute quadrangles. Updates are made using TxDOT Highway Construction Plans, Aerial Photographs, Official City Maps and Field Inventory. These files contain most of the features found on 7.5 minute quads, except for items such as contour lines, fence lines, jeep trails, electrical transmission lines, oil and gas pipelines and control data monuments. II. Map Projection These files are based on the following map projection system: TEXAS STATEWIDE MAPPING SYSTEM (NAD 27) Available formats: DGN, DWG, & DXF Projection: Lambert Conformal Conic Spheroid: Clarke 1866 Datum: North American 1927 Longitude of Origin: 100 degrees west (-100) Latitude of Origin: 31 degrees 10 minutes north Standard Parallel # 1: 27 degrees 25 minutes north lat. Standard Parallel # 2: 34 degrees 55 minutes north lat. False Easting: 3,000,000 feet (914,400 meters) False Northing: 3,000,000 feet (914,400 meters) Unit of Measure: feet (international) TEXAS STATEWIDE MAPPING SYSTEM (NAD 83) Available formats: Arc/Info Export (e00) Projection: Lambert Conformal Conic Spheroid: Clarke GRS80 Datum: North American 1983 Longitude of Origin: 100 degrees west (-100) Latitude of Origin: 31 degrees 10 minutes north Standard Parallel # 1: 27 degrees 25 minutes north lat. Standard Parallel # 2: 34 degrees 55 minutes north lat. False Easting: 1,000,000 meters False Northing: 1,000,000 meters Unit of Measure: meters III. Positional Accuracy These digital maps were created primarily for the purpose of producing county/urban published maps, certain features - particularly railroads, have been displaced in congested areas so as to insure map readability at county map scales.Although TxDOT makes no official claim as to the positional accuracy of these maps, given the USGS stated positional accuracy of plus or minus 40 feet for its 7.5 minute quads, and the inadvertent positional shifts that may have been introduced during the digitizing process, TxDOT estimates that the positional accuracy of most features will be approximately plus or minus 50 feet. IV. Tables and Libraries These files have been furnished with the following tables and libraries: txdot.ctb (color table) txdot.flb (high resolution bit stream font library) txdot.cel (cell library) V. County Map Levels TxDOT uses the following level structure for its county/urban maps. These following features are found in (county number) cnty.dgn and (county number)urban.dgn files.
