- Description:
-
- Abstract:
-
The US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Ports database is an
extract from the National Waterway Network database
consisting of 224 points coded as US Army Corps of Engineers
ports.
- Purpose:
-
The Ports database is a geographic database of the US Army
Corps of Engineers Ports in and around the United States,
for analytical studies of waterway performance, for
compiling commodity flow statistics, and for mapping purposes.

-
- Attribute_Accuracy:
-
- Attribute_Accuracy_Report:
-
Attribute accuracy is tested by manual comparison of the
source with hard copy printouts and/or symbolized display of
digital line graphs on an interactive computer graphic
system; selected attributes that cannot be visually verified
on plots or on screen, are interactively queried and
verified on screen.
- Quantitative_Attribute_Accuracy_Assessment:
-
- Attribute_Accuracy_Value: unknown
- Positional_Accuracy:
-
- Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy:
-
- Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report:
-
The accuracy of each point element is correlated to the
data source used to derive that element. For example,
links and nodes derived from 1:100,000 scale Digital
Line Graphs are more accurate than links and nodes
derived from 1:500,000 scale NOAA Navigational Charts.
Elements with an "M" in the source field (indicating an
unknown or missing source) are the least accurate.
