Scale is an important factor in data usage.
Certain scale datasets are not suitable for some project, analysis, or modelling purposes. Please be sure you are using the best available data. Vector datasets with no defined scale or accuracy should be considered suspect. Make sure you are familiar with your data before using it for projects or analyses. Every effort has been made to supply the user with data documentation.
