Process_Description:

This data set was part of a batch process that converted legacy data from ArcInfo coverage in Librarian to a single-tiled ArcInfo coverage in preparation for a final coversion to ArcSDE Geodatabase Feature Classes. Data were extracted from Librarian using the EXTRACT TOPOLOGICAL command.
Multi-tiled data sets were extracted into multiple coverages and then combined based on the feature type(s). Layers with both polygon and arc feature classes were processed with the Arc commands, MAPJOIN and DISSOLVE. Arc feature classes alone were processed with the Arc commands, APPEND and DISSOLVE. Layers with both arc and point feature classes and point feature classes alone were processed with the Arc command, APPEND. When used, the Arc command, DISSOLVE, was given with the <#all> option.
All coverages were then reprojected to HARN 83 using the following .prj file specifications: INPUT PROJECTION STATEPLANE UNITS FEET ZONE 5551 DATUM NAD27 NADCON PARAMETERS OUTPUT PROJECTION STATEPLANE UNITS FEET FIPSZONE 4501 DATUM HPGN NADCON PARAMETERS END This dataset was then converted to a feature class in a geodatabase in ArcSDE.
