Process_Step:
Process_Description:
Paper maps from the USFWS were digitized on a GTCO AccuTab digitizing tablet using a GTCO 16 driver connected to ArcInfo 7.1.2. Once digitized, the data was transformed to the appropriate projection (UTM, nad83, zone 15) and cleaned with a tolerance of 1 meter. For any arcs that didn't connect to form polygons, the coverage was edited on-screen using ArcEdit. Standard operating procedures were followed by using the zoom function to magnify basemaps to 1/5000 while digitizing. Each feature was visually corrected by comparison with the paper maps from the refuge. Once all sections were topologically correct, they were attributed and saved as Shapefiles. This process was performed by the University of Minnesota in cooperation with the USFWS.
