1. Introduction

This document describes Arc/Info coverages that are exported to customers in EXPORT format.

 

2. Jeffersonian Land Survey

Two coverages are provided for Jeffersonian land survey. The section coverage contains section polygons and the township coverage contains township polygons. The features in each coverage are:

Coverage Features
   
section arcs , nodes, polygon labels, annotation subclass all
township arcs , nodes, polygon labels, annotation subclass all

 

 

The township names are in the township coverage annotation and section names are in the section coverage annotation.

The feature attribute table for each feature type is listed below:

Each coverage has an annotation feature which is in subclass all. There is no associated attribute table for the annotation.

 

3. Original Texas Land Survey

Three coverages are provided for Texas land survey. There is an abstract coverage, a section coverage, and a block coverage. The features in each coverage are:

 

Coverage Features
   
abstract arcs , nodes, polygon labels, annotation subclass all
section arcs , nodes, polygon labels, annotation subclass all
block arcs , nodes, polygon labels, annotation subclass all
grantee arcs , nodes, polygon labels, annotation subclass all

 

The annotation is different for each coverage:

Coverage Annotation
   
abstract abstract numbers
section section numbers
block survey and block names
grantee grantee names

 

The feature attribute table for each feature type is listed below:
