Attribute_Accuracy_Report:
Attribute data were copied directly from USGS web sites and subjected to internal QA/QC.
Quantitative_Attribute_Accuracy_Assessment:
Attribute_Accuracy_Value: n/a
Logical_Consistency_Report:
All geographic points were checked visually against MassGIS 2005 ortho imagery and NOAA nautical charts. Attribute data were copied directly from USGS web sites and subjected to QA/QC.
Completeness_Report:
All extant USGC bases within Massachusetts are represented in these data.
Positional_Accuracy:
Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy:
Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report:
All geographic points were located visually on MassGIS 2005 ortho imagery and NOAA nautical charts. Points were generally placed in the middle of the largest building on the base. No attempt has been made to quantify the locational accuracy of the data.
