Metadata created using Minnesota Geographic Metadata Guidelines
| Originator | St. Louis County, Minnesota |
| Abstract | This coverage contains the base forest inventory for the Tax Forfeit Trust Lands of St. Louis County, Minnesota. Polygons are identified by forest covertype, timber size class, and timber density class. Polygons were originally photo-interpreted from uncorrected 1:15,840 black and white IR aerial photography. |
| Browse Graphic | none available |
| Time Period of Content Date | 1997 |
| Currentness Reference | Polygons were originally photo-interpreted from 1981 and 1989 black and white IR aerial photography. Continually updated with 35 mm and other photography. |
| Access Constraints | Some restrictions may apply |
| Use Constraints | The data user is asked not to give this data to other parties without permission of the St. Louis County Land Department. |

| Title | Forest Inventory: St. Louis County, Minnesota | |||
| Abstract | This coverage contains the base forest inventory for the Tax Forfeit Trust Lands of St. Louis County, Minnesota. Polygons are identified by forest covertype, timber size class, and timber density class. Polygons were originally photo-interpreted from uncorrected 1:15,840 black and white IR aerial photography. | |||
| Purpose | This coverage serves as one of the base coverages for forest management planning. | |||
| Time Period of Content Date | 1997 | |||
| Currentness Reference | Polygons were originally photo-interpreted from 1981 and 1989 black and white IR aerial photography. Continually updated with 35 mm and other photography. | |||

| Section 2 | Data Quality Information | Top of full metadata | Top of page | |
| Attribute Accuracy | No statistical accuracy checks have been performed. Data has been and continues to be verified and updated from field visits. | |||
| Logical Consistency | Polygons are topologically correct within ARC/INFO. No undershoots or overshoots are contained within the data and all polygons are closed and labeled. | |||
| Completeness | All covertype polygons are mapped for tax forfeit trust lands. Polygons are updated on a continuous basis, with the update of harvest polygons occurring within approximately one year after sale completion. | |||
| Horizontal Positional Accuracy | The horizontal accuracy of this dataset is unknown. Instances of positional off-sets in excess of 100 meters are possible, although the overall accuracy is expected to be much better. Overlap and underlap may occur along township boundaries. Tiles are not edge matched along township boundaries. | |||
| Vertical Positional Accuracy | Not applicable | |||
| Lineage | These data were originally photo-interpreted from 1:15,840 uncorrected black and white IR aerial photography. Tax Forfeit Land boundaries were transferred from the photos and from the ownership coverage. Where photo displacement was large, digitized data was rubbersheeted to fit reference points (lakes, rivers, ownership boundaries, etc.). | |||

| Entity and Attribute Overview | This dataset contains the base St. Louis County Covertype polygon information. The only attributes maintained with the coverage are TILEID and POLY-ID. Both of these are combined in the redefine item 'KEY', which is used as the index to related database tables. Other items in the 'pat' file should not be used. | |||
| Entity and Attribute Detailed Citation | Attributes associated with this coverage are documented with the appropriate database tables. | |||
