Purpose: This dataset was developed for the purpose of displaying 1:100,000-scale counties, also it has been used for clipping other data layers to specific counties.

The dataset is a vector coverage with polygon topology and is distributed in Arc Export (e00) format. Browse_Graphic: Browse_graphic_file_name: counties.gif Browse_graphic_file_description: Wyoming counties Browse_graphic_file_type: gif Data_Quality_Information: Attribute_Accuracy: Attribute_Accuracy_Report: Only one attribute, county names. Quantitative_Attribute_Accuracy_Assessment: Attribute_Accuracy_Value: n/a Attribute_Accuracy_Explanation: n/a Completeness_Report: All attributing is complete. Logical_Consistency_Report: All polygons are closed and adjacent polygons do not have identical attributes. Each polygon has one label. Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report: The Surface Mangement Status Maps from which the counties were digitized have an accuracy of +/- 120 feet, according to USGS national mapping standards. Because some of the digitization was from folded or otherwise poor quality paper maps, there is a 5-8% range of error associated with this digital data, translating to approximately +/- 300 feet.
