The representation of the sections are based on the rules designated by the state surveyor (instructions to county surveyors can be found at http://www.sso.nebraska.gov/pdf/harvey1914.pdf), and are an interpretation of of the public land survey system(PLSS) created by NDNR mapping section personnel to the best of our ability using modern technology software.&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;</idAbs>

<evalMethDesc>Most of the original data was digitized from 7 1/2 quad maps where they were available. This digitized information was processed on a PC with a FORTRAN program and then plotted at 100% scale and overlayed on the original to verify the accuracy. Many checks were programmed into the FORTRAN program to help correct or identify inaccuracies. Other error checking and correcting was accomplished using visual inspection, Paradox 3.0 and Arc/Info 6.0 and later Arc/Info 7.0.</evalMethDesc>
