Abstract:
  Hydrologic sub-basin outlines of basins inventoried during the Montana Department of Environmental Quality, Mine Waste Cleanup Bureau, Watershed Analysis of Abandoned Hardrock Mine Priority Sites. Lines were heads-up digitized from georeferenced scans of 1:24,000 scale USGS topographic maps using TNTmips. Attributes were added to the lines in Arc/Info v 7.1.1.
Purpose: Use in conjunction with other MWCB data from same study.

Data Quality Information:

Attribute accuracy report:
  See Entity_Attribute_Information. Attribute accuracy is described, where present, with each attribute defined in the Entity and Attribute Section.
Completeness report:
  Although the source data is USGS 7.5' quads, only selected portions of quads were digitized, representing the drainage basins containing the High Priority Abandoned Mines Sites.
Horizontal Positional Accuracy Report:
  The horizontal accuracy is comparable to USGS 1:24,000 7.5' maps.
