| Completeness | Data current to June 2006; updated as new/corrected information is made available. | |||
| Horizontal Positional Accuracy | The positional accuracy of the dataset has not been tested under the National Standards for Spatial Data Accuracy. Existing and proposed on-road trails aligned to TLG Street Centerline dataset (2005) where appropriate. Existing off-road trails traced using 2000 black/white aerial photographs and 2003 (preliminary) color aerial photographs. Planned and proposed off-road trails placed according to source information which varied in accuracy. | |||
| Vertical Positional Accuracy | Not applicable | |||
| Lineage | Data Sources: Various: park operating agencies, 2000 back/white aerial photography, 2003 color aerial photography, Metropolitan Council, Minnesota Valley National Wildlife Refuge. Accuracy: Various: trails aligned to TLG where appropriate. Existing off-road trails traced using 2000 black/white aerial photographs and 2003 (preliminary) color aerial photographs. Planned and proposed off-road trails placed according to source information which varied in accuracy. |
