Ramsey County Map Information (Info)

This page last updated: 03/02/2005
Metadata created using Minnesota Geographic Metadata Guidelines


Metadata Summary

Originator Ramsey County
Abstract This data set contains miscellaneous linework that assists with map creation and clarification. In 1986, map information [MAPINFO] data was digitized from hand drawn 1:2400 half and 1:1200 quarter section maps. In 1995, the map information data layer was converted to ArcINFO format and maintained in an ArcStorm data base. Map Information was converted in 2005 to an ESRI Arc GIS GeoDatabase format.

Map information data is rarely computed utilizing coordinate geometry programs. Most of this information is a visual representation of map features.

An example of one of the primary graphical features that help convey map information is landties. Landties are lines with hooked ends that help define parcel ownership. Other examples of graphical features represented in this database are: old or vacated lot lines, lines, right of way and plat boundary extension lines. This data set is not intended to provide a complete history of the previous underlying makeup of parcel related boundaries.

This data set is not intended to provide a complete history of the previous underlying makeup of parcel related boundaries.
Purpose The map information data layer represents various parcel related graphical elements, which aid in the understanding and interpretation of map features. It is not intended to be inclusive. It is intended to act as a visual aid to help with map interpretation. This data is primarily used in map creation. Features held in this database are utilized by automated half and quarter section map production.

Section 2 Data Quality Information Top of full metadata Top of page
Attribute Accuracy Attributes held within the GIS graphical database are manually entered by GIS personnel. There are check plots produced to verify information. Line symbology is periodically checked by automated programs to verify consistency.
Logical Consistency Information is visually inspected and corrected as necessary.
Completeness Entire Ramsey County coverage
Horizontal Positional Accuracy Digitized information is generally ± 7 feet; some areas have been found to be ± 30 feet. COGO (coordinate geometry) accuracy generally is ± 1.0 foot.
Lineage PROCEDURE: This layer contains a combination of digitized parcel information and parcel data rectified utilizing positions calculated with COGO programs.

MAP SOURCE: Digitized from 1 inch = 200 feet 1/2 section maps.

ACCURACY: Digitized information is generally ± 7 feet; some areas have been found to be ± 30 feet. COGO (coordinate geometry) accuracy generally is ± 1.0 foot.

Section 5 Entity and Attribute Information Top of full metadata Top of page
Entity and Attribute Overview Lines included in this layer are for map clarification purposes. Landties indicate where individual pieces of land make up a single tax parcel. Plat and sidelot extensions are commonly used to represent where these lines extend into a roadway, while vacated lot and street lines represent where these lines once existed but have been changed (or vacated).
