For each corner, extensive searches of record information and subsequent selection of "best" sources were used to locate corners. No field surveys were conducted to find questionable corners. Where the only information available was from original Government Plats, BLM-GCDB data was used where possible. If records identified multiple alternate positions for the same corner i, the County Surveyor determined which was to be used. This was primarily the case where two monuments were labeled as the same corner and were within 3 feet of each other.Microsoft Windows 2000 Version 5.1 (Build 2600) Service Pack 1; ESRI ArcCatalog 8.3.0.800Sections_Townships-120.197691-117.61488835.80889834.77231611348152.1555182114208.888904840308.404863470054.0500861ISO 19115 Geographic Information - MetadataDIS_ESRI1.0dataset002file://\\KERNCOG02\SYS\GIS\Unprocessed\Chris\Kern_MEAR\Final\Base_Data\Sections_Townships.shpLocal Area Network0.513ShapefileVectorSimplePolygonFALSE253TRUEFALSEG-polygon253GCS_North_American_1927NAD_1927_StatePlane_California_V_FIPS_0405coordinate pairsurvey feet0.0020480.002048State Plane Coordinate System 192740534.03333335.466667-118.00000033.5000002000000.0000000.000000North American Datum of 1927Clarke 18666378206.400000294.978698NAD_1927_StatePlane_California_V_FIPS_0405253Sections_TownshipsFeature Class253FIDFIDOID400Internal feature number.ESRISequential unique whole numbers that are automatically generated.ShapeShapeGeometry000Feature geometry.ESRICoordinates defining the features.Township_dTownship_dString254Cnt_TownshCnt_TownshNumber9Min_RANGEMin_RANGEString254Sum_Shape_Sum_Shape_Number194Min_TOWNSHMin_TOWNSHString254Key_mapKey_mapNumber4Zone_mapZone_mapNumber4Shape_AreaShape_AreaFloat19Area of feature in internal units squared.ESRIPositive real numbers that are automatically generated.1120040121
