The attributes are consistent with Figure 2. of the SJV Recovery Plan. Arcs connect to each other at nodes. Arcs have direction and left and right sides. Arcs that connect to surround an area define a polygon. Polygon features that were completely outside of the study area were omitted. This data represents a regional view and is not accurate to the parcel level. The Lat-Long intersection points on the original map were used as control points. Kuchler, A.W. 1997 document New York, NY, US John Wiley and Sons Pp. 909-938 plus supplement in Terrestrial vegetation of California (M.G. Barbour and J. Major, eds.) http://www.wiley.com/ paper 1997 publication date KUCHLER Coverage digitized from the map source. (The following was taken from a text notes written by Scott Snover or Nancy Norvell of ESRP). "The original coverage was digitized from the original map published by A.W. Kuchler in 1977. The Lat-Long intersection points on the original map were used to generate a tic file. The map was digitized one section at a time, a section being the area bounded by four tic points (i.e.- 1 degree Lat by 1 degree Long). Each of these sections was done individually and later joined together in a master coverage. Rather than try to digitize directly from the original map, which was folded and heavily creased, copies of portions of the map were used, taking care to make sure that as many creases as possible were flattened to obtain a clean copy. Also, since some of the original shade symbols did not copy clearly, or the border between two shade symbols was indistinct, the borders were copied by hand from the original map. In some areas along the coast or along lakebeds where the copy was unclear as to where all the lines were. In these cases, a coverage showing either the coastline or the lake boundaries was brought up as a back coverage and the relevant arcs were traced on the screen." (end of quoted text). Addtional digitizing and edits were done by the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation MP-GIS Service Center. The statewide coverage was reduced to the Central Valley coverage by ESRP. 1995 Endangered Species Recovery Program GIS Analyst mailing
