Map Accuracy Standards - USGS
and procedures the Survey uses are pro-ducing maps that meet the U.S. National Map Accuracy Standards. How the Survey Maintains Map Accuracy In 1958, the USGS began systematically testing the accuracy of its maps. Presently, accuracy testing is performed on 10 percent of the mapping projects at each contour interval as a method of
