Abstract:
  This is a collection of ESRI shape files that show highways, roads, lakes, streams, towns, counties, and Federal lands for Montana and the surrounding area. They were used to create the first draft of the Montana 2001-2002 Highway Map that the Departments of Commerce and Transportation distribute. These data do not portray map features in their correct locations and sizes. Their purpose is for the creation of an easily readable, attractive highway map of Montana at a scale of approximately 1:1,500,000.
  Many features in these data were moved as far as three miles from their correct position in order to make the map more readable or attractive. Other features are shown at many times their actual size, and most lines have been simplified and are therefore much shorter than the features they represent on the ground.
  The Montana 2001-2002 Highway Map has been edited by the Montana Department of Transportation since the State Library provided the data to them. The published map does not show all the features that appear in these data, and it shows other features that do not appear here. These data do not include any of the text labels or point locations (other than towns) shown on the Montana 2001-2002 Highway map.
  The Montana 2001-2002 Highway Map is copyrighted by the Montana Department of Transportation. If you intend to use these data to publish a map that looks similar to the Montana 2001-2002 Highway Map, you should obtain permission from the Montana Department of Transportation.
  The following shape files are in the collection:
  Town: Point locations of Montana towns
  Highway: Interstate, U.S. and state highways in Montana
  Secondary: Secondary highways in Montana
  Local: Local roads in Montana
  County: State and county lines in Montana
  Stream: Streams and shorelines in Montana
  Lake: Lake and river polygons in Montana
  Cdivide: Continental Divide
  City Urban areas of large towns in Montana
  Fedland: Federal lands and Indian Reservations in Montana
  Out_Town: Point locations of towns outside Montana
  Out_Road: Highways and roads outside Montana
  Out_Bnd: State, provincial, and county lines outside Montana
  Out_Stream: Streams and shorelines outside Montana
  Out_Lake: Lakes and river polygons outside Montana
  Out_City: Urban areas of large towns outside Montana
  Out_Fed: Federal lands and Indian Reservations outside Montana
Purpose:
  The data was created for the purpose of printing a 1:1,380,000 scale highway map of Montana. In order to accomplish this, the course of streams and of some highways had to be greatly simplified, many lakes had to be significantly increased in size to become noticeable, and features had to be moved apart from each other so that they could be shown without overlapping. For example, the town of Big Timber sits between Interstate 90 and the Yellowstone River at a point where they are approximately 0.8 miles apart. But the symbols for each of these features each need to be more than a mile wide on the highway map, and there should be about half of a mile of space between them. So the river and the highway were moved so that they are almost 3 miles apart in the data.

Data Quality Information:

Attribute accuracy report:
  The attributes giving areas or lengths of features do not represent the size of the actual features on the ground. All attributes that relate to names of features have been verified against existing maps. No maps were available giving the route numbers of secondary highways in Idaho, Wyoming, and the Dakotas, so most of these highways are probably portrayed as local roads.
Completeness report:
  All rural, interstate, primary, and secondary highways, all roads from the Montana Dept of Transportation functional classification system, and all counties of Montana are portrayed in the data, although several secondary highways and many functional class roads are marked by attributes for exclusion from the map. Inclusion of other features, including streams, lakes, towns, roads, and federal lands depend on an arbitrary determination of their size and importance.
Horizontal Positional Accuracy Report:
  The features in these data sets are not intended to be posistionally accurate. Many map features have been moved more than three miles from their correct posistions, and others have had their sizes dramatically increased or their lengths significantly reduced for artistic purposes.

  Process step:
    Simplify the MDT GPS Centerline data of Montana Highways. Display TIGER and Canada National Atlas data on top of scanned image of the 1998 MDT highway map and digitze Montana local roads and out-of-state highways, roads, lakes, and streams with the on-screen cursor. Simplify or enhance features so that they look good on the map and move them so that they do not conflict with each other. Generally, the correct position of highways and towns were deemed to be more important than streams, lakes, or other features, and the Continental Divide was offset from the county lines that it coincides with. But there were many cases when all features had to be moved a considerable distance, especially in conjested areas, in order to show them in their proper relationship to each other and leave white space between their symbols.
