Description
	Abstract: Attributes representing the legal land description (LLD) for a township generated from geographic coordinates data base (GCDB) information.|
	Purpose: Link the LLD for the Automated Land and Mineral Records System (ALMRS) to the aliquots for this township.  Once this link is established, it can be used to as a foreign key to other BLM records geocoded in the same way.|

Data Quality Information


Attribute Accuracy
	Attribute Accuracy Report:  Cross checked against the Legal Land Description records to ensure no described land was missing.  This was done by either
		1) Creating a check plot which was then visually verified against the Master Title Plat or
		2) running the program QCHECK.| 

Logical Consistency Report: All polygons are closed and adjacent polygons do not have identical attributes.  Each polygon has one and only one attribute.|

Completeness Report: These attributes represent all entries in the LLD for the subject township and provide a suitable foreign key to other Bureau records geocoded in this fashion.|

Positional Accuracy
	Horizontal Positional Accuracy
		Horizontal Positional Accuracy Report: Each attribute is physically located within the polygon.|

	Process Step:
		Process Description:  Casdastral Survey performed a survey or resurvey of the township.  The survey information was then processed using the GMM or the PCCS programs to generate remaining coordinates.  The resulting LX file was supplied as the best coordinate data available for this township.
