Certain scale datasets are not suitable for some project, analysis, or modeling purposes. Please be sure you are using the best available data.
1:24000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the county level. 
1:24000 data should NOT be used for high accuracy base mapping such as property parcel boundaries.
1:250000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the regional or state level or larger.
1:100000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the multicounty or regional level.

Vector datasets with no defined scale or accuracy should be considered suspect. Make sure you are familiar with your data before using it for projects or analyses. Every effort has been made to supply the user with data documentation. For additional information, see the References section and the Data Source Contact 
section of this documentation.
