USER NOTES:

Certain scale datasets are not suitable for some project, analysis, or 
modelling 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. 1:24,000 datashould NOT be used for high accuracy base mapping such 
as property parcel boundaries. 

1:100,000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the 
multi-county or regional level. 

1:250,000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the 
regional or state level or larger. 

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.
