Description
Reconnaissance level survey (1:250,000 dataset) broadly describing landform, soils and vegetation to map and describe the pastorally important areas of the Southern Alice Springs District of the Northern Territory. The mapped information describes associated patterns/land systems as distinct from higher resolution mapping. Information is intended for use in broadly assessing land-use potential and is usually interpreted to indicate land capability for a range of land uses and provides a basis for identifying the extent and distrbution of land resources for the Southern Alice Springs District.
(Land System defintion - An area or group of areas throughout which there is a re-recurring pattern of topography, soils and vegetation. Recognised as being an assemblage of Land Units).

Data Quality
Lineage:Spatial polygon linework captured from a tracing of product paper copy map then scanned as ArcInfo vector and rubber sheeted to NT cadastre.
Original linework derived using aerial photography to delineate land system boundaries and site selection, then extensively ground truthed with 1:100,000 Pastoral Lease plans, then further reduced to 1:250,000 by transfering resultant linework to 1:250,000 Topo map series. Recompiled and updated to GDA94 as part of ongoing GIS Program 2004.
Source data:
Aerial photography - 1:80,000 B&W 1976 Alice Springs
Base map - Australian Topographic Survey Series 1:250,000 AGD66
- Northern Territory Cadastre AGD66
GIS - ArcInfo vector as GDA94
Positional Accuracy:The cover was rubber sheeted to obvious points on the Northern Territory Cadastre. The summation of errors from all sources results in data with a standard deviation defined by scale used as +/-500m for well-defined points.
Attribute Accuracy:The accuracy of the attribute information conforms to the original report mapunits.
Logical Consistency:All polygons are closed, nodes are formed at the intersection of lines and there is only one label within each polygon.
Completeness:Spatial and attribute verification of the dataset has been performed and checked against source material.
