A few of these have preliminary in the title, what does that mean? The abstract says it will be finished in 2013?

aazaff commented 5 years ago

Looks ready for ingestion.

@aazaff the items in our inventory here that have been identified as 'preliminary' were items that were sent to USGS as formal deliverables for the STATEMAP funding requirements but may not have been finalized at the time of contribution to USGS. The 'preliminary' designation was added to the title in order to draw attention to the disclaimer included at the bottom of each of these printed maps (see the publication source URL above).

As they are now, they've been formally published as an IGS Open File Study which may have been slightly amended since the time of delivery to USGS. They're not really 'preliminary' as they have good data, but it's more of a liability disclaimer.

I didn't find a set of lines or points in the data. Is that to be expected or is it a technical issue with QGIS?

rleverett commented 5 years ago

Nevermind. Figured it out.

aazaff commented 5 years ago

@rleverett cool. All of these Indiana maps are on the simplistic side. Few polygons and will rarely have lines or point data.
