Title: 1979 Chesapeake Bay SAV Coverage
Publication_Information:
Publication_Place: Gloucester Point, Virginia
Publisher: Virginia Institute of Marine Science
Description:
Abstract:
The 1986 Chesapeake Bay SAV Coverage was mapped from 1:24,000
aerial photography to access water quality in the Bay. Each
area of SAV was traced onto 1:24,000 USGS quadrangles. The SAV
beds were then digitized and converted into an Arc/Info GIS
coverage using the procedures documented below.
Purpose:
The annual SAV aerial photographic monitoring program provides
a comprehensive and accurate measure of change in SAV relative
abundance that has been used to link improving water quality to
increases in Bay living resources.

Attribute_Accuracy:
Logical_Consistency_Report:
The coverage contains full Arc/Info polygon topology. There are no
unlabeled polygons, no intersections, no unattached lines and all lines
have both left and right polygons identified.
Completeness_Report:
The dataset covers only a small set of quadrangles:
Havre de Grace, Md.
Middle River, Md.
Gunpowder Neck, Md.
Swan Point, Md.
Round Bay, Md.
Gibson Island, Md.
Langford Creek, Md.
Centreville, Md.
Kent Island, Md.
Queenstown, Md.
St. Michaels, Md.
Oxford, Md.
Church Creek, Md.
Cambridge, Md.
Nanjemoy, Md.
Mathias Point, Md.- Va.
Barren Island, Md.
Honga, Md.
Terrapin Sand Point, Md.
Marion, Md.
Great Fox Island, Va.- Md.
Crisfield, Md.- Va.
Some of these quadrangles may not have been fully mapped. In
addition, Some small beds, particularly along narrow tributaries
may not have been distinguishable on the aerial photography.
Positional_Accuracy:
Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy:
Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report:
Horizontal positional accuracy is based upon the use of USGS
source quadrangles which are compiled to meet National Map
Accuracy Standards (NMAS). The aerial photographs were
manually overlaid on mylar USGS base material during the
photo interpretation process.

Process_Description:
Originals were not located. Therefore all map sheets were
plotted by VIMS staff and overlayed on USGS quadrangles to
check for obvious errors.

Process_Step:
Process_Description:
All map sheets were joined into a single file by VIMS staff.
The quadrangle edges were scanned to ensure that the SAV
polygons were consistent on both sides of the border.
Inconsistencies were resolved by checking the diazo maps and
re-interpreting the photography if necessary.
