Description: County boundaries, county names, and FIPS codes.
Abstract:
This data set consists of digital county boundaries for the State
of Oklahoma. The boundaries were derived from U.S. Geological
Survey 1:100,000-scale Digital Line Graph data sets. Two
attributes are associated with each county polygon. The first is
the FIPS code and the second is the county name.
Introduction:
This data set consists of digital county boundaries for the State
of Oklahoma. The boundaries were derived from U.S. Geological
Survey 1:100,000-scale Digital Line Graph (DLG) data sets
(1994). Two attributes are associated with each county polygon. The
first is the FIPS code and the second is the county name.
Purpose:
This data set was developed to provide a standard set of county
boundaries for state agencies and public use.
Supplemental_Information:
Process_Description: The 1:100,000-scale DLG boundary files were
downloaded by anonymous ftp,
ftp://edcftp.cr.usgs.gov/pub/data/DLG/100K. The directories are
organized alphabetically by quadrangle name. The DLG data sets are
located in the 'boundary' subdirectory.
The 416 files were unblocked and converted to an ARC/INFO (ESRI,
1995) file format. Major and minor code pairs were added. The data
sets were combined using the ARC/INFO command APPEND (ESRI,
1995). Attributes containing the state code and a county FIPS code
were added. The data sets were edited so only polygons with a major
and minor code combination of 91 and 40 (polygons within Oklahoma)
remained. The county FIPS code was calculated. The data sets were
processed with the ARC/INFO command CLEAN (ESRI, 1995). The
ARC/INFO command DISSOLVE (ESRI, 1995) was used with the county
FIPS code to delete unwanted boundaries. The data sets were
combined into three datasets, based upon Universal Transverse
Mercator grid zones using the ARC/INFO command APPEND (ESRI,
1995). The ARC/INFO command DISSOLVE (ESRI, 1995) was used with the
county FIPS code to delete unwanted boundaries. The data sets were
projected to the current projection. The ARC/INFO command APPEND
(ESRI, 1995) was used to combine the data sets and the ARC/INFO
command CLEAN (ESRI, 1995) was used with a fuzzy tolerance of 10
meters. The ARC/INFO command DISSOLVE (ESRI, 1995) was used with
the county FIPS code to create one polygon for each county.
A small portion of the state boundary was manually digitized from
the 1:100,000-scale paper map, U.S. Geological Survey topographic
quadrangle, Wichita Falls, Texas.

Reviews_Applied_to_Data:
The Digital Atlas of Oklahoma was reviewed by 13 technical
reviewers. Because of the large volume of data (nearly 1.3 million
points, lines or polygons divided into 861 separate data sets) the
reviewers could not thoroughly check the accuracy of all geographic
features in the data sets. Reviewers were asked to check the
topological consistency, tolerances, attribute frequencies and
statistics, projection, and geographic extent. The reviewers were
asked to check the metadata and other documentation files for
completeness and accuracy. Users should exercise caution and
judgment in applying these data, and be aware that errors may be
present in any or all of the digital map data layers.

Use_Constraints:
This data set was primarily constructed from U.S. Geological Survey
DLG data (1995) at a map scale of 1:100,000. A small portion of the
State boundary was manually digitized from a 1:100,000-scale
U.S. Geological Survey map, Wichita Fall, Texas. The DLG for this
portion of the study area was not available. Boundaries represented
at this map scale (1:100,000) are indicative of general locations
and should not be interpreted as site specific.

Overview_Description:
Entity_and_Attribute_Overview:
Each county polygon has two attributes. The first attribute, FIPS,
is a unique five-digit code used to identify the county. The first
two numbers of the FIPS code is 40 for Oklahoma. The last three
digits are unique for each county. The second attribute, NAME, is
the county name. Below are the Oklahoma county names and associated
FIPS codes.

The attributes, COUNTY and FIPS, in the DLG version are stored in
the associated file COUNTY.DBF. This file is in a dBASE format and
can be appended to the polygon attributes using software compatible
with the dBASE format. The item COUNTY_ is stored in the first
major code (MAJOR1) and the item COUNTY_ID is stored in the first
minor code (MINOR1). Either item may be used as the link item when
joining COUNTY.DBF with the polygon attributes.
The last three digits of the attribute FIPS are stored in the
second major code (MAJOR2). The second minor code (MINOR2) is equal
to 0.
