All features within this dataset are represented as polygons, which were digitized from paper maps. The boundaries were determined by subject matter experts based on historical records and drawn onto standard USGS topographic quadrangle maps. The accuracy of each polygon is entered in the feature level metadata for each feature contained within the dataset. Duplicate battlefield boundaries with the same geometry and feature level metadata were copied into an alternative feature layer, then merged into a single battlefield boundary in the primary feature dataset. Duplicate battlefields boundaries with different geometry were copied into the same alternative feature layer; however, the incorrect duplicate boundary, as identified by NPS ABPP staff, was then deleted from the primary layer. Missing battlefield boundaries were imported into the feature dataset after being correctly projected. Previously mislabeled battlefield codes were edited based on original survey documentation. The resulting feature class contains one record for each battlefield boundary, which may include discontiguous polygons. This dataset features the battlefields identified by the Civil War Sites Advisory Commission; however, it does not include all the battlefields identified in the original report, as some have yet to be digitized from their associated USGS paper map formats. The attribute information of the battlefields included has been reviewed for completeness and accuracy by NPS CRGIS staff to help ensure data quality. The attributes collected in this feature dataset meet the requirements of the National Park Service Cultural Resource Spatial Data Transfer Standard. Attributes have been reviewed by the NPS CRGIS staff for accuracy and consistency. Data contained within this feature dataset was determined by subject matter experts based on historical record, then drawn onto USGS maps before being digitized into shapefiles. The rated accuracy of this method cannot be officially confirmed due to various error potential. Positional accuracy, where known, is documented in feature level metadata for each polygon. Paper USGS maps scanned and geo-referenced. Shapefiles created based on hand drawn boundaries for use in GIS, via heads-up digitization. 1997-01-01T00:00:00 American Battlefield Protection Program, National Park Service American Battlefield Protection Program, National Park Service Battlefield boundaries compiled into geodatabase 2019-01-01T00:00:00 James Stein Cultural Resource GIS Facility, National Park Service 1849 C St., NW Washington DC 20240 james_stein@nps.gov US 202-354-2148 James Stein Battlefield boundaries originally projected in UTM.
