    <descript>
      <abstract>Bathymetric data were collected using a boat-mounted Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS), 
a type of differential global positioning system, echo depth-sounding equipment, and computer 
software. Data were exported into a geographic information system and converted into a point layer. 
These data points were used to create a triangulated irregular network (TIN) from which 2-foot 
contours were created. The contours were then clipped with a manually digitized outline of the 
reservoir shoreline and edited for errors. The resulting data was used for mapping purposes and 
for calculating area and volume statistics.</abstract>
      <purpose>The U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with the U.S. Marine Corps (USMC), 
conducted a bathymetric survey of Breckenridge Reservoir in March 2009. The survey was conducted 
to provide the USMC Natural Resources and Environmental Affairs with information regarding reservoir 
storage capacity and general bathymetric properties. The bathymetric survey can provide a baseline 
for future work on sediment loads and deposition rates for the reservoir.</purpose>

            <geoform>remote-sensing image</geoform>
            <othercit>These files contain Digital Orthophoto files for the State of Virginia developed from imagery acquired in spring 2006 and 2007.   In the spring of 2006, the Commonwealth of Virginia, through the Virginia Geographic Information Network Division (herein referred to as VGIN) of the Virginia Information Technologies Agency (VITA) contracted with the Sanborn Map Company to provide aerial data acquisition, ground control, aerotriangulation and development of statewide DTM and digital orthophotography.  Approximately 15% of the State was acquired in the year 2006 and the balance in 2007.  All data acquired in 2006 is jurisdiction based.  The data acquired in 2007 includes overlap along the boundaries of jurisdictions captured in the previous year 2006.  This ensures each jurisdiction has full coverage from either Year 2006 or 2007 without 'mixing' imagery vintage along the edge of a jurisdiction. The project encompasses the entire land area of the Commonwealth of Virginia.  The State boundary is buffered by 1000'. Coastal areas of the State bordering the Atlantic Ocean or the Chesapeake Bay are buffered by 1000' or the extent of man-made features extending from shore.  The entire State was initially designed to support 1"=200' (1:2400) scale mapping.  Jurisdictions throughout the State were provided an option to upgrade to a 1"=100' (1:1200) map scale. All data development processes for the DTM conform to the ASPRS Draft Aerial Photography Standards (1995) and Model Virginia Map Accuracy Standards (1992), which generally follow the ASPRS Accuracy Standard for Large-Scale Mapping (1990) for relevant mapping scales.  The DTM supports the creation of 6-inch or 1-foot map orthoimagery at the relevant scales.</othercit>

        <procdesc>Bathymetric data were collected using a boat-mounted Differential GPS (DGPS) and echo depth-sounding equipment. The DGPS allowed for horizontal accuracies of less than 10 feet (ft; about 3 meters) in the horizontal direction. A depth check for vertical accuracy of the echo sounder was performed once at the beginning of the survey to ensure that the echo sounder was calibrated correctly. The primary dataset, which consisted of over 4,000 data points collected on March 30, 2009, was compared to a smaller dataset of 233 data points that were collected on February 24, 2009. Points from each survey that were collected within 1.5 ft of each other were considered coincidental and were paired for comparison. This process produced 32 coincidental pairs of points. The standard deviation of the depth measurement for the data point pairs was 1.2</procdesc>
