Source geologic maps and data used to complete this GRI digital dataset were provided by the following: Indiana Geological Survey. Detailed information concerning the sources used and their contribution the GRI product are listed in the Source Citation section(s) of this metadata record (libo_bedrock_geology_metadata.txt or libo_bedrock_geology_metadata_faq.pdf). Users of this data are cautioned about the locational accuracy of features within this dataset. Based on the source map scale of 1:24,000 and United States National Map Accuracy Standards features are within (horizontally) 12.2 meters or 40 feet of their actual location as presented by this dataset. Users of this data should thus not assume the location of features is exactly where they are portrayed in Google Earth, ArcGIS, QGIS or other software used to display this dataset. All GIS and ancillary tables were produced as per the NPS GRI Geology-GIS Geodatabase Data Model v. 2.3. (available at: https://www.nps.gov/articles/gri-geodatabase-model.htm).

This shapefile was derived from a predecessor coverage named "IN_LANDSURVEY." IN_LANDSURVEY is a digital representation of land survey features as represented on the USGS 1:24,000 digital raster graphic (DRG) series. ESRI ArcEdit 8.1 and ESRI ArcView 3.2 were used to extract the following shapefiles from IN_LANDSURVEY: LANDSURVEY_COUNTY_LINE_IN, LANDSURVEY_COUNTY_POLY_IN, LANDSURVEY_SECTIONS_LINE_IN, LANDSURVEY_SECTIONS_POLY_IN, LANDSURVEY_STATE_LINE_IN, LANDSURVEY_STATE_POLY_IN, LANDSURVEY_TOWNSHIPS_LINE_IN, and LANDSURVEY_TOWNSHIPS_POLY_IN.NOTE -- This shapefile is identical to a version named "INDIANA_STATEBDY_24K_IGS_L". This metadata file is a copy of the metadata for "INDIANA_STATEBDY_24K_IGS_L" that has had minor edits. The shapefile and metadata were renamed to conform to a file-naming convention for a project funded outside the IGS.

National Hydrologic Dataset downloaded from USGS on 2/4/2022. This data is also available from the USGS as a service at https://hydro.nationalmap.gov/arcgis/rest/services/nhd/MapServerAbstract: The National Hydrography Dataset (NHD) is a feature-based database that interconnects and uniquely identifies the stream segments or reaches that make up the nation's surface water drainage system. NHD data was originally developed at 1:100,000-scale and exists at that scale for the whole country. This high-resolution NHD, generally developed at 1:24,000/1:12,000 scale, adds detail to the original 1:100,000-scale NHD. (Data for Alaska, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands was developed at high-resolution, not 1:100,000 scale.) Local resolution NHD is being developed where partners and data exist. The NHD contains reach codes for networked features, flow direction, names, and centerline representations for areal water bodies. Reaches are also defined on waterbodies and the approximate shorelines of the Great Lakes, the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans and the Gulf of Mexico. The NHD also incorporates the National Spatial Data Infrastructure framework criteria established by the Federal Geographic Data Committee. Use the metadata link, http://nhdgeo.usgs.gov/metadata/nhd_high.htm, for additional information. Purpose: The NHD is a national framework for assigning reach addresses to water-related entities, such as industrial discharges, drinking water supplies, fish habitat areas, wild and scenic rivers. Reach addresses establish the locations of these entities relative to one another within the NHD surface water drainage network, much like addresses on streets. Once linked to the NHD by their reach addresses, the upstream/downstream relationships of these water-related entities--and any associated information about them--can be analyzed using software tools ranging from spreadsheets to geographic information systems (GIS). GIS can also be used to combine NHD-based network analysis with other data layers, such as soils, land use and population, to help understand and display their respective effects upon one another. Furthermore, because the NHD provides a nationally consistent framework for addressing and analysis, water-related information linked to reach addresses by one organization (national, state, local) can be shared with other organizations and easily integrated into many different types of applications to the benefit of all.

The files linked to this reference are the geospatial data created as part of the completion of the baseline vegetation inventory project for the NPS park unit. Current format is ArcGIS file geodatabase but older formats may exist as shapefiles. We converted the photointerpreted data into a GIS-usable format employing three fundamental processes: (1) orthorectify, (2) digitize, and (3) develop the geodatabase. All digital map automation was projected in Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) projection, Zone 16, using North American Datum of 1983 (NAD83). To produce a polygon vector layer for use in ArcGIS, we converted each raster-based image mosaic of orthorectified overlays containing the photointerpreted data into a grid format using ArcGIS (Version 9.2, © 2006 Environmental Systems Research Institute, Redlands, California). In ArcGIS, we used the ArcScan extension to trace the raster data and produce ESRI shapefiles. We digitally assigned map attribute codes (both map class codes and physiognomic modifier codes) to the polygons, and checked the digital data against the photointerpreted overlays for line and attribute consistency. Ultimately, we merged the individual layers into a seamless layer of INDU and immediate environs. At this stage, the map layer has only map attribute codes assigned to each polygon. To assign meaningful information to each polygon (e.g., map class names, physiognomic definitions, link to NVC association and alliance codes), we produced a feature class table along with other supportive tables and subsequently related them together via an ArcGIS Geodatabase. This geodatabase also links the map to other feature class layers produced from this project, including vegetation sample plots, accuracy assessment sites, and project boundary extent. A geodatabase provides access to a variety of interlocking data sets, is expandable, and equips resource managers and researchers with a powerful GIS tool.

The purpose of this map is to assist in retrieving digitized PLSS notes and plats. Indiana has three to four sets of "original" PLSS notes and plats.The field survey set, which the field surveyor originally wrote, is preserved at the Indiana State Archive for approximately 30% of the counties in Indiana.The federal set, which the GLO transcribed, is preserved at the National Archive.The state set, which the GLO transcribed, is preserved at the Indiana State ArchiveThe county sets, transcribed later from the state set by the state auditor, are available from each county surveyor.The file name indicates the source and geographical location within the PLSS. O for the Original set F for the Federal set S for the State set C** for the County set PM0* for the 1st or 2nd Principal Meridian T**N or T**S for the Township (North & South) R**E or R**W for the Range (East & West)This project was made possible by Clayton J. Hogston, who donated over 11,000 hours to create the linked documents. Other contributors include Clayton J. Hogston – Sphere Surveying Co., Lorraine Wright – Rock Solid GIS, Rachel Savich Oser – Oser Surveying & Mapping LLC, and county surveyors with support from the Indiana State Archives, chapters of the Indiana Society of Professional Land Surveyors (ISPLS), the Indiana Geographic Information Council (IGIC), the Indiana Professional Land Surveyors Foundation (IPLSF), and others.Detailed metadata regarding the location of the physical documents within the holding institutions is available on our Internet Archive pages, where the digitized records can also be viewed or downloaded in bulk.

This dataset was created as a framework layer defining the land survey lines of Indiana in polygon format. The information is intended for geographic display or analysis at a scale of 1:24,000 or smaller.The Public Land Survey System (PLSS) is a way of subdividing and describing land in the United States. All lands in the public domain are subject to subdivision by this rectangular system of surveys, which is regulated by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management (BLM). The PLSS typically divides land into 6-mile-square townships. Townships are subdivided into 36 one-mile- square sections. Sections can be further subdivided into quarter sections, quarter-quarter sections, or irregular government lots. Normally, a permanent monument, or marker, is placed at each section corner. Monuments are also placed at quarter-section corners and at other important points, such as the corners of government lots. Today permanent monuments are usually inscribed tablets set on iron rods or in concrete. The original PLSS surveys were often marked by wooden stakes or posts, marked trees, pits, or piles of rock, or other less permanent markers.

Municipal incorporation occurs when such municipalities become self-governing entities under the laws of the state or province in which they are located. Often, this event is marked by the award or declaration of a municipal charter. A city charter or town charter or municipal charter is a legal document establishing a municipality, such as a city or town.Under Indiana law, a municipality must have a minimum of 2,000 people to incorporate as a city. Except as noted, all cities are "third-class" cities with a seven-member city council and an elected clerk-treasurer. "Second-class" cities had a population of at least 35,000 and up to 600,000 at time of designation, and have a nine-member city council and an elected clerk. Indianapolis is the only "first-class" city in Indiana under state law, making it subject to a consolidated government known as Unigov. A town is differentiated from a city in that a town can not become a city until it has a population of at least 2,000.
