      Attribute Accuracy:
            Attribute Accuracy Report:
                  Topology and attributes for this theme were manually checked by comparing plots of the processed data against original materials. Attribute accuracy information for source materials were not collected since acquisition of source data pre-dated FGDC metadata standards. Logical Consistency Report: Polygon and Arc-node topology exists.
      Completeness Report: Source: Montana State library, BIA, and BLM; constructed from several coverages.
