Process Step:
Process Description:
The 24k data was imported into a geodatabase updated using the cadastral framework for the state boundaries to ensure that exterior state boundaries were correct. A topology was built to ensure that there are no gaps in the data and no overlapping of features. The boundaries were checked against the State Road Log and then edited to make sure the boundaries crossed the State Routes at the correct SRMP/ARM.
