Description:
Abstract: The United States State Boundaries data set
contains state political boundaries integrated with
shorelines in the United States. The data set
contains information on location, identification,
and size. The data set includes boundaries for all
50 states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico.
Purpose: The data provide users with information about
the locations, names, FIPS Codes, and size of states
primarily for national planning applications.

Data Set Credit: The United States State Boundaries files
were compiled from a variety of sources including the US
Bureau of the Census, National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration National Ocean Service, and data supplied
by State Departments of Transportation. The data sets
were created and standardized by members of the
Geographic Information Systems Laboratory, Pellissippi
Research Institute, The University of Tennessee,
Knoxville.
Data_Quality_Information:
Attribute_Accuracy:
Attribute_Accuracy_Report: Attributes for the State
Boundary data set were created using ARC/INFO, a Geographic
Information System. All area and distance values were
calculated to the nearest 50m. Logical Consistency
Report: All node-link and polygon topological
relationships are created and verified using computer
algorithms. Unique entity identifiers were similarly
verified using ARC/INFO.
Logical_Consistency_Report: All node-link and polygon topological
relationships are created and verified using computer
algorithms. Unique entity identifiers were similarly
verified by computer algorithm.
Completeness_Report: Completeness report not provided.
Positional_Accuracy:
Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy:
Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report: The positional
accuracy of each data set varies as described.
The State borders database was compiled from
TIGER/Line data with a corresponding positional
accuracy of +/- 80m for the contiguous 48 States
plus Washington D.C and Hawaii. TIGER/Line files
for Puerto Rico and Alaska are at a scale of
1:125,000. The shorelines for the 23 coastal states
were created using 1:250,000 NOS digital data which
has a positional accuracy of +/- 200m. Thus, all
internal political boundaries have a higher accuracy
than do the coastal definitions with the exception
of Puerto Rico and Alaska.

Process_Step:
Process_Description: All state supplied maps were
digitized using ARC/INFO V6.1x. All State supplied
digital data was converted to ARC/INFO using a variety
of encoding methods. The state databases were
appended and adjusted to correct minor geodetic
problems. State boundaries were added from TIGER/Line
data using and topologically integrated using the
ARC/INFO GIS. After attributes were added and the
data set checked for completeness and accuracy it was
extracted from ARC/INFO and reformatted into ASCII
data files.

Process_Step:
Process_Description: All state political boundaries were
extracted from the TIGER/Line CD-ROMs and appended
into a single polygon database using ARC/INFO V6.1x.
The NOS vectors were overlaid and topologically
integrated into the state polygons using ARC/INFO.
After attributes were added and the data set checked
for completeness and accuracy it was extracted from
ARC/INFO and reformatted into ASCII data files.

verification using ARC/INFO, the data was extracted and
reformatted into the BTS ACSII format, and converted into
shape file format and redundant fields were eliminated.
