Description
Is a reconnaissance level land resource survey (scale 1:1,000,000) conducted by CSIRO in 1956/57 to map and describe the settled country in the Alice Springs pastoral district. The mapped information covers 373,000km2 in central Australia. The 88 land systems are described in terms of their relative area, landforms, soils and plant communities. General descriptions are given for the location, geology and geomorphology, climate and water resources of the land systems.

Data Quality
Lineage:Coverage linework captured from a tracing of product paper copy map then scanned as ArcInfo vector and rubber sheeted to NT cadastre and GeoImage MSS satellite mosaic of the Northern Territory.
Original linework derived using aerial photography to delineate land
system boundaries and site selection, then extensively ground truthed with travas routes and speedomoter mileages coordinated field survey and descriptive note collection, with air photo ground positional accuracy within +/- one-tenth of a mile. Resultant air photo linework interpreted to produce final product map. Recompiled and updated to GDA94 as part of ongoing GIS Progarm 2004.
Source data
Aerial photography - 1:50,000 B&W 1950 Alice Springs
Base map - Australian Topographic Survey Series 1:250,000 AGD66
- Northern Territory Cadastre AGD66
- GeoImage MSS satellite mosaic of the NT AGD66
GIS - ArcInfo vector as AGD66
Positional Accuracy:Fair - Original cover was poor with registration up to +/-6km out in places.The cover was rubber sheeted to obvious points on the Geoimage MSS satellite mosaic of the Northern Territory and NT cadastre. The summation of errors from all sources results in data with a standard deviation defined by scale used as +/-2000m for well-defined points.
Attribute Accuracy:High - The accuracy of the attribute information is considered high and conforms to the original CSIRO mapunits.
Logical Consistency:Good - Dataset topological consistency has been system checked and all classified polygons are closed, nodes are formed at the intersection of lines and there is only one label within each polygon. Polygons have been classified for Map Unit/Land System ID in the lookup table.

Supplementary Information
The original maps were created in association with this report by CSIRO. They were scanned by the NT Government to create attributed spatial data polygons.
