  Description:
    Abstract:
      This data set contains polygon features of land use for the seven-county Southeastern Wisconsin Region, covering Kenosha, Milwaukee, Ozaukee, Racine, Walworth, Washington, and Waukesha Counties. The polygon features were delineated on 1"=400' scale aerial photographs and board digitized. The data set was collected at approximately 5-year intervals, and is current for the years 1963, 1970, 1980, 1985, 1990, 1995, and 2000. The land use polygons are identified according to the Southeastern Wisconsin Regional Planning Commission's (SEWRPC) land use classification system.
    Purpose:
      This data set was collected to provide an inventory of land use in Southeastern Wisconsin and to be used for broad regional planning purposes.

  Access_Constraints:
    There are no legal prerequisites for accessing this data set. Potential users should contact the Southeastern Wisconsin Regional Planning Commission Land Use Division or GIS Division.
  Use_Constraints:
    This data set was prepared from aerial photography acquired at approximately 5-year intervals. The most recent inventory may not reflect current land use conditions. Site investigation may be necessary to determine current type and extent of land use activity.

### 2. Data_Quality_Information:

  Logical_Consistency_Report:
    The polygon features in this data set were collected by board digitization of information collected from 1"=400' scale aerial photographs. Portions of the 1990 and 1995 land use inventories, and the majority of the 2000 land use inventory, have been adjusted to fit large-scale cadastral maps where such mapping has been completed. The polygon features were verified with software routines to insure completeness and integrity of lines and areas. The data set contains lines that intersect where intended, there are no lines that are entered twice, there are no overshoots or undershoots, and all areas are completely described. The area features are topologically structured polygon data with nodes at all intersections.
  Completeness_Report:
    This data set was delineated by the Southeastern Wisconsin Regional Planning Commission Land Use Division and digitized by the Commission's GIS Division. The land use polygons were delineated according to the definitions of the Commission's land use classification system. To the best knowledge of the Commission GIS Division, this data set includes all of the intended features digitized from the source hardcopy aerial photos and maps and other source materials.
  Positional_Accuracy:
    Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy:
      Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report:
        The 1963, 1970, 1980, and 1985 land use inventories were collected from hardcopy aerial photographs that were prepared to meet National Map Accuracy Standards for one-inch equals 400 feet scale mapping. Therefore, ninety percent or more of all well-defined planimetric features in these digital map files are within 13.3 feet of their true position.

        Since 1990, portions of the land use inventories have been adjusted to fit large-scale (1"=200' scale or 1"=100' scale) cadastral mapping where such mapping has been completed. Therefore, ninety percent or more of all well-defined planimetric features in portions of the 1990, 1995, and 2000 land use digital map files are within 6.6 feet of their true position. For the remaining portions of the 1990, 1995, and 2000 land use digital map files, ninety percent or more of all well-defined planimetric features in these areas are within 13.3 feet of their true position.

### 5. Entity_and_Attribute_Information:

  Overview_Description:
    Entity_and_Attribute_Overview:
      This data set consists of a set of digital inventories covering the years 1963, 1970, 1980, 1985, 1990, 1995, and 2000. The 1975 inventory is in hardcopy form only and has not yet been converted to digital format.

      The digital map files for the 1963, 1970, 1980, 1985, 1990, 1995, and 2000 land use inventories are arranged to cover one USPLSS township per file. The files are available in ESRI shapefile and coverage format.

      The digital files contain land use polygon features digitized from land use areas initially delineated on hardcopy products (1"=400' scale aerial photos and maps) for each year of inventory. The 1990, 1995, and 2000 inventories contain polygons that have been adjusted to fit large-scale cadastral mapping where such mapping had been completed at the time of inventory collection. The land use polygons are identified by a tag or label consisting of a three-digit code and optional one-character suffix corresponding to the Commission's land use classification system. All files consist of graphic map features only and do not contain additional attributes at this time.
