Description:

Abstract:: The following dataset displays the contour lines at 3 meter intervals for the Santee Experimental Forest in Berkeley County, SC. The contour lines were digitized in 2007 from the USGS 1:24,000 Topographic map of Berkeley County.
Purpose:: The data were created for use in hydrologic studies and also to help created enhanced Digital Elevation Models of the Forest for research uses.
Supplemental_Information:: Feb. 2012: Metadata edited for SEF database. Contour lines were digitized by Reginald Reeves in September, 2007.

Data_Quality_Information:

Logical_Consistency_Report:: Topological requirements include: lines must begin and end at nodes, lines must connect to each other at nodes, lines do not extend through nodes, left and right areas are defined for each line element and are consistent throughout the file, and the lines representing the limits of the file (neatline) are free of gaps.
Completeness_Report:: This file has undergone standard update digital revision. The data completeness of this file meets NMD standards for feature content.
