Attribute Accuracy

All available historic documentation.

Logical Consistency

 

Completeness

Includes all found documented underground mine properties and adjacent mine properties within the Central Iron Range Underground Mine Mapping project area.

Horizontal Positional Accuracy

Mine parcel features were snapped to survey control points where available and digitized from mine maps that where geo-referenced to survey control points if survey control points were not available..

Lineage

Underground mine parcels were compiled from a number of sources: Minnesota Mining Directory, DNR Lands and Minerals Office, Department of Revenue, RGGS, Meriden Engineering, Great Northern Iron Ore Properties, Iron Range Research Center (Iron World), Hibbing Taconite, USS KeeTac, USS MinnTac, and Eveleth Fee.  Mine parcel features were snapped to survey control points where available and digitized from mine maps that where geo-referenced to survey control points if survey control points were not available.
