Abstract:  The 1990 Kern County land use survey data set was developed by DWR through its Division of Planning and Local Assistance (DPLA). The data was gathered using aerial photography and extensive field visits, the land use boundaries and attributes were digitized, and the resultant data went through standard quality control procedures before finalizing. The land uses that were gathered were detailed agricultural land uses, and lesser detailed urban and native vegetation land uses. The data was gathered and digitized by staff of DWR’s San Joaquin District. Quality control procedures were performed jointly by staff at DWR’s DPLA headquarters and San Joaquin District. Important Points about Using this Data Set: 1. The land use boundaries were hand drawn directly on USGS quad maps and then digitized. They were drawn to depict observable areas of the same land use. They were not drawn to represent legal parcel (ownership) boundaries, or meant to be used as parcel boundaries. 2. This survey was a "snapshot" in time. The indicated land use attributes of each delineated area (polygon) were based upon what the surveyor saw in the field at that time, and, to an extent possible, whatever additional information the aerial photography might provide. For example, the surveyor might have seen a cropped field in the photograph, and the field visit showed a field of corn, so the field was given a corn attribute. In another field, the photograph might have shown a crop that was golden in color (indicating grain prior to harvest), and the field visit showed newly planted corn. This field would be given an attribute showing a double crop, grain followed by corn. The DWR land use attribute structure allows for up to three crops per delineated area (polygon). In the cases where there were crops grown before the survey took place, the surveyor may or may not have been able to detect them from the field or the photographs. For crops planted after the survey date, the surveyor could not account for these crops. Thus, although the data is very accurate for that point in time, it may not be an accurate determination of what was grown in the fields for the whole year. If the area being surveyed does have double or multicropping systems, it is likely that there are more crops grown than could be surveyed with a "snapshot". 3. If the data is to be brought into a GIS for analysis of cropped (or planted) acreage, two things must be understood: a. The acreage of each field delineated is the gross area of the field. The amount of actual planted and irrigated acreage will always be less than the gross acreage, because of ditches, farm roads, other roads, farmsteads, etc. Thus, a delineated corn field may have a GIS calculated acreage of 40 acres but will have a smaller cropped (or net) acreage, maybe 38 acres. b. Double and multicropping must be taken into account. A delineated field of 40 acres might have been cropped first with grain, then with corn, and coded as such. To estimate actual cropped acres, the two crops are added together (38 acres of grain and 38 acres of corn) which results in a total of 76 acres of net crop (or planted) acres. 4. Water source and irrigation method information was not collected for this survey. 5. During the transfer of data from the INTERGRAPH system to the AUTOCAD system, some attributes were lost. For those polygons that were attributed with either “D” (double cropped) or “I” (intercropped), the second crop has asterisks in the two fields “IRR_TYP2PA” (irrigated or non-irrigated) and “IRR_TYP2PB” (type of irrigation system). There should have been either and “i” or “n” in the “IRR_TYP2PA” field, and a “U” or “*” in the “IRR_TYP2PB” field. 6. Not all land use codes will be represented in the survey.

Supplemental information: Land-Use Data Quality Control This dataset is the final copy of 1990 Kern County Land Use Survey. Digital surveys published on this site are designated as either ‘Final’, or ‘Provisional’, depending upon its status in a peer review process. Each survey has been zipped into a downloadable folder which contains the survey shapefile or feature class and other documentation that further explains how that specific survey was processed, and how the information is interpreted. 'Final' surveys are peer reviewed with extensive quality control methods to confirm that field polygon attributes reflect the most detailed and specific land-use classification available, using the standard DWR Land Use Legend specific to the survey year. Data sets are considered ‘final’ following the reconciliation of peer review comments and confirmation by the originating Regional Office. During final review, individual polygons are evaluated using a combination of aerial photointerpretation, satellite image multi-spectral data and time series analysis, comparison with other sources of land use data, and general knowledge of land use patterns at the local level. 'Provisional' data sets have been reviewed for conformance with DWR’s published data record format, and for general agreement with other sources of land use trends. Comments based on peer review findings may not be reconciled, and no significant edits or changes are made to the original survey data.

Description: Land Use Attributes: All land use attributes were coded using the Department's Standard Land Use Legend dated January 1981 (81legend.pdf). The legend explains in detail how each delineated area is attributed in the field, and what the coding system is. The actual land use code that is printed onto the field maps is different in arrangement than the codes that result from the digitizing process. The file attributes.pdf is a detailed explanation of the coding system used for both coding the field sheets, and the codes that are in digitized form in the database files associated with the shapefiles.

Process step:
When the process occurred:  2000-12-05T00:00:00
Description: Data Development: 1. The aerial photography used for this survey was taken in June of 1990. The photographs (natural color 35mm slides taken from an altitude of about 5,500 feet above ground), were visually interpreted and land use boundaries were drawn on USGS paper 1:24,000 quadrangles. 2. The quad maps were taken to the field as field sheets, and virtually all the areas were visited to positively identify the land use. The site visits occurred in July through September 1990. Land use codes were printed within each area on the field sheets. 3. Using an Intergraph digitizing system, the land use boundaries and attributes were digitized from the field sheets on a digitizing tablet. 4. After quality control/assurance procedures were completed on each file, the data was finalized. 5. The digital data was later taken from the INTERGRAPH system and brought into AUTOCAD. Because the algorithm used in the INTERGRAPH system to project the data into a coordinate system was not accurate, the data had to be reprojected by "rubber sheeting". The four corners of each land use quad file were used to warp the complete quad file into a new projection. 6. The linework and attributes from each DWG quad file were brought into ARCINFO and both quad and surveywide coverages were created, and underwent quality checks. These coverages were converted to shapefiles using ARCVIEW

Process step:
When the process occurred:  2000-12-05T00:00:00
Description: Data Accuracy: The original land use boundaries were drawn onto USGS quads, then digitized on a digitizing tablet (using an INTERGRAPH system). After this data was brought into AUTOCAD, it was reprojected by “rubber sheeting”, using the four corners of each quad file. It is difficult to say how accurate the linework is. The original digital linework was a result of digitizing hand drawn lines on a USGS 7 1/2 minute quad, so the accuracy was equal to or less than the accuracy of the USGS quads (about 50 feet). After rubber sheeting, the linework’s accuracy is probably reduced a little more. The land use attribute accuracy is very high, because almost every delineated field was visited in the field. The accuracy is less than 100 percent because some errors must have occurred. There are two possible sources of attribute errors which are: 1) Human error in the identification of crop types 2) Data entry errors
