- Abstract:
-
This coverage depicts the road network on the Apache-Sitgreaves National Forest, Coconino National Forest, Coronado National Forest, Kaibab National Forest, Prescott National Forest, and the Tonto National Forest and is part of the USFS Southwestern Region Core Data Project. This project is designed to generate and maintain 15 vertically integrated resource data layers which are standardized across the Southwestern Region. These 15 layers are derived from a Master Arc coverage which maintains vertical integration.
- Purpose:
-
The purpose of this coverage is to depict the road network system on the Forest. The coverage will be used to provide
road network input for any analysis needing it.

Comparison with other data sets for the same area from
other time periods may be inaccurate due to inconsistencies
resulting from changes in photointerpretation, rounding of
decimal coordinates during conversion, and mapping
conventions over time. Any hardcopies utilizing these data
sets shall clearly indicate their source. If the user has
modified the data in any way they are obligated to describe
the types of modifications they have performed on the
hardcopy map. The user specifically agrees not to
misrepresent these data sets, nor to imply that changes
made were approved by the USFS.

Accuracy and completeness was checked by manually
comparing hardcopy plots, on-screen review, and reporting
method with the source materials. RD_RTE_NO was populated
based on information provided by the
Forest Service, either in manual or digital form. An
automated assurance/control application, QCView, was used
to a consistent data structure and valid
attribution for fields based on the "Specifications for
TVA Automation Contract".

Cartographic Feature Files (CFFs) are digital files containing a vector
representation of the point and line features shown on a Forest Service
Primary Base Series (PBS) map. CFF data are collected by digitizing PBS
maps and revised using correction guide information provided by field units.
GSTC began producing Vintage 11 CFFs in 1996.

- Process_Description:
-
General: Vintage 11 CFF digital data (and in some cases,
Forest-provided digital data) was used to create this coverage.
When Forest-provided data was used, the CFF codes were
conflated, as appropriate, to the Forest-provided data. Where
new data existed, the Forest provided a CFF for those arcs.
Source and method was populated for all arcs. The RD_RTE_NO
was supplied by the Forest and populated on the respective arcs.
The data set was checked for dangle errors. Errors were
corrected and topology built for arc. A route subclass was
created based on the item RD_RTE_NO. Beginning and ending
points were applied to the route and directionality set.
Technical: Approximately 95% of the time, the CFFs will be
the basis for the road data. In some instances, the Forests
may have additional information (spatial and attribute) to
supplement this information. The Forest may provide additional
spatial data (from manuscripted, GPS or some other digital
source). The RO will allow for this additional information
provided the Forest has validated the data (usually with
verification from an ortho-photo) and can provide documentation
to the validity (includes SOURCE_CODE and METHOD). The Forest
may also provide a digital coverage from another vintage of CFF
(Vx) in which they have previously updated. TVA will then
preserve whatever information is to be retained from this data
set (via the "Data Assessment") and transfer the attribute
information ("matchcover" and "conflate") to the V11 data. If
no information is to be provided from the Forest, TVA extracts
the roads from the respective master quad coverage (using the
standard list of applicable CFFCs from the Data Specifications)
and plots the road data, by quad, color-coded by CFFC and sends
to the Forest for review and edit. The Forest will then verify
the CFFC is correct, annotate on the plots where it is to be
changed, and assign a road number for all roads within the Forest
boundary and show direction (and start/stop points) for the roads.
These plots are then returned to TVA and TVA makes the edits (in
an extracted coverage) based on the annotation from the Forest
Service. These edits include editing or adding a CFFC (in attribute
CFF1-CFF10), populates the road arcs with the Forest-
provided road number (in attribute "RD_RTE_NO). Once all edits
are complete, the original data is deleted from the master quad
coverage and the new, edited data is put back into the master
quad coverage. If information is provided by the Forest, TVA
uses the Forest-provided data (breaks it down by quadrangle using
the quad coverage as a clip cover) and compares that coverage,
quad by quad, with the extracted V11 roads coverage. Editing,
conflation, etc. is then done and TVA provides the color-coded
by CFFC quadrangle plots for the Forest for review and editing.
These plots are then returned to TVA and TVA makes the edits
based on the annotation from the Forest Service. Once all edits
are complete, the original data is deleted from the master quad
coverage and the new, edited data is put back into the master
quad coverage. At this point the road data is complete. When
the output coverage is produced in the final processing phase,
a "route" will be created ("Arcroute" based on item "RD_RTE_NO")
for all numbered roads and directionality applied to those routes.
