Description:
Abstract:
This data set consists of depth sounding measurements from an 1879 hydrographic chart of Tampa Bay. The chart was created by the U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey, Chart No. 77. A digital copy of the chart was obtained from the Office of Coast Survey, National Ocean Service, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). The digital copy was then georeferenced and depth soundings were digitized and attributed with depth values.
Purpose: To provide historical information on Tampa Bay bathymetry.

Data_Quality_Information:
Attribute_Accuracy:
Attribute_Accuracy_Report:
The accuracy of the attributes are limited to the accuracy of the chart. The digitized points are checked for accuracy to reflect what is found on the map. An on-screen comparison is conducted to ensure the accuracy.
Logical_Consistency_Report:
The depth soundings were digitized from the 1879 hydrographic chart. The chart was created by the U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey.
Completeness_Report: Data are complete.
Positional_Accuracy:
Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy:
Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report:
The accuracy of the horizontal positions (latitude and longitude) are based on the accuracy of the map.
Quantitative_Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Assessment:
Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Value: Unknown
Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Explanation:
Horizontal positional accuracy is based on the accuracy of latitude-longitude reference lines on the map. Six reference points were selected from latitude-longitude line intersections located on the map.
Vertical_Positional_Accuracy:
Vertical_Positional_Accuracy_Report:
Soundings are expressed in mean low water in feet. Only characteristic soundings were displayed on the chart.
Quantitative_Vertical_Positional_Accuracy_Assessment:
Vertical_Positional_Accuracy_Value: Unknown
Vertical_Positional_Accuracy_Explanation:
No correction information is known. Data is referenced to mean low water.

Process_Step:
Process_Description:
An ArcGIS shapefile was created by digitizing the depth soundings from the scanned georeferenced 1879 map. The table was then attributed with depth values. The scanned map was georeferenced to shoreline data that was generated from digitizing a mylar of the same chart.
