Ramsey County Parcel Lines (Line)

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


Metadata Summary

Originator Ramsey County
Abstract This data set contains parcel lines. In 1986, parcel lines [ParLine] were digitized from hand drawn 1:2400 half and 1:1200 quarter section maps. In 1995, the parcel data layer was converted to ArcINFO format and held in the ArcStorm data base. Parcel Lines were converted in 2005 to an ESRI ArcGIS GeoDatabase format.

Computed parcel line information was integrated into the parcel data layer by utilizing calculated positions derived from coordinate geometry programs. Line features include parcels, road right of way and major easements. The parcel boundaries (points, lines and polygons) represent property descriptions (legal descriptions) and land ownership. Parcel Line is used to construct polygons. Polygons represent individual tracts or parcels of land (now called ParComp). One or more polygons form Parcels (formerly known as Regions), which represent parcel ownership boundaries. A twelve character property identification number (PIN) is assigned to both polygons and regions. The PIN is used as a primary link to county tax and assessment data.

Purpose Parcel boundaries support many functions including automated half and quarter section map production, thematic mapping, land records and property assessment and surveying and engineering projects.

Section 2 Data Quality Information Top of full metadata Top of page
Attribute Accuracy Attributes held within the GIS graphical data base are entered by GIS personnel utilizing manual or semi-automated methods. Check plots are produced periodically to verify the consistency of the source data.
Logical Consistency Graphical elements are not topologically clean. Over shoots and undershoots may be common in this data set. Generally linework depicted here was not originally intended to create closed boundaries or polygons.
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.

PROJECTION: Ramsey County Coordinate System
Source Scale Denominator 2400
