 Description: 7.5-Minute quadrangle names and boundaries in Oklahoma
   divided into county data sets.

 Abstract:
 
   This data set contains the U.S. Geological Survey 7.5-minute
   topographic quadrangle names and boundaries for quadrangles in
   Oklahoma. This data set is divided by county. Each county data set
   contains the quadrangles covering the county.
 
 Introduction:
 
   This data set contains the U.S. Geological Survey 7.5-minute
   topographic quadrangle names and boundaries for quadrangles in
   Oklahoma. This data set is divided by county. Each county data set
   contains the quadrangles covering the county. The quadrangle names
   came from the National Digital Cartographic Data Base (NDCDB)
   (U.S. Geological Survey, 1991). This data set was created from a
   data set that contains all the 7.5-minute quadrangles for the
   Mississippi River Basin (Rea and Cederstrand, 1994).
 
 Purpose:
 
   This data set can be used as a quadrangle index and can be used to
   register 1:24,000-scale quadrangles for digitizing.
 
 Supplemental_Information:
 
   Procedures_Used: This data set was created from a data set that
   contains the 7.5-minute topographic quadrangles for the Mississippi
   River Basin (Rea and Cederstrand, 1994). Quadrangles were deleted
   except for the quadrangles in Oklahoma and those immediately
   surrounding the state. The major and minor pairs were added and the
   data were divided into county data sets. The documentation was
   modified.

 Reviews_Applied_to_Data:
 
   This electronic report was subjected to the same review standard
   that applies to all U.S. Geological Survey reports. Reviewers were
   asked to check the topological consistency, tolerances, attribute
   frequencies and statistics, projection, and geographic extent. The
   reviewers checked the metadata and a_readme.1st files for
   completeness and accuracy.

  Overview_Description:
    Entity_and_Attribute_Overview:
 
   Each polygon has five attributes. The first attribute, NAME,
   contains the name of the quadrangle. The second attribute STATE1,
   contains an abbreviation for the state that contains all or the
   largest part of the quadrangle. The third attribute STATE2 and
   fourth attribute STATE3, if applicable, contain an abbreviation for
   the state containing the second and third largest part of the
   quadrangle. The state abbreviations are: Arkansas, AR; Colorado,
   CO; Kansas, KS; Missouri, MO; New Mexico, NM; Oklahoma, OK; and
   Texas, TX. The fifth attribute INDEX_CODE contains a code used by
   the U.S.  Geological Survey for reference and ordering purposes.
 
   The attributes in the DLG version are stored in the associated file
   QUAD24.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 QUAD24_ is stored in the first major code (MAJOR1)
   and the item QUAD24_ID is stored in the first minor code
   (MINOR1). Either item may be used as the link item when joining
   QUAD24.DBF with the polygon attributes.
