The data are not appropriate as a geodetic, legal or engineering base. The data set was not and is not intended as a substitute for surveyed locations, such as can be determined by a registered Public Land Surveyor. Although useful in a GIS as a reference base layer for maps, the data set has no legal basis in the definition of boundaries or property lines.
Recent updates to the data:
In April 2004 edition 1.0 of the data set was transitioned to storage in an Oracle RDBMS using the ArcSDE geodatabase model. The result (this version) is designated Edition 20040423.

Map information is to be used at a scientifically and cartographically appropriate scale, that is, at a scale no greater than indicated on the map or as described in the documentation of the map or map data. Map information is not appropriate for, and is not to be used as, a geodetic, legal, or engineering base. Map information has no legal basis in the definition of boundaries or property lines and is not intended as a substitute for surveyed locations such as can be determined by a registered Public Land Surveyor.
The data do not replace the need for detailed site-specific studies.
In alluvial areas, soil unit boundaries were adjusted to corresponding Quaternary geology or Stack-unit delineations. Where alluvial soil units could be verified on the Landsat scene, they were extended up drainages for a maximum of an additional 0.5 inch. Further extension would have deviated too much from the original map. When soil units meandered back and forth along drainages, they were redrafted to fit the topography and landforms. Soil units located outside of alluvial areas were not integrated unless sliver polygons were created. In order to resolve sliver polygons, the lines created from either the Quaternary geology or STACK unit maps were considered more definitive. Soil units were not changed where they extended into mined-out areas shown on either the Stack-unit or Quaternary geology maps.
The features were imported into the ISGS SDE enterprise database following steps outlined in ISGS procedure GISDB_0009.
