Description:

Abstract:: LANDSURVEY_TOWNSHIPS_POLY_IN is a 1:24,000-scale polygon shapefile with a projection of Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) North American Datum (NAD) 1983 zone 16.
Purpose:: This shapefile was created as a framework layer defining the township or range lines of Indiana in polygon format. The information is intended for geographic display or analysis at a scale of 1:24,000 or smaller.
Supplemental_Information:: 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_TR_24K_IGS_P". This metadata file is a copy of the metadata for "INDIANA_TR_24K_IGS_P" 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.

Process_Description:

IN_LANDSURVEY was opened in ESRI ArcEdit and queried for layer_1 = "STATE-BDY" or layer_1 = "T-R" or layer_1 = "T-R-CLOSE" or layer_1 = "OLSS-BDY" or layer_1 = "OLSS-BDY-CLOSE" or layer_2 = "T-R" or layer_2 = "LM-SHORE" or layer_2 = "OLSS-BDY" or layer_2 = "OLSS-BDY-CLOSE". The new coverage was built with the no duplicate labels option. The attribute fields Type, Parcel_ID, and Source were deleted from the PAT file. The resulting coverage was opened in ESRI ArcView and saved as a polygon shapefile named "INDIANA_TR_24K_IGS_P."
