Description:
Abstract:
The US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Ports database is an extract from the National Waterway Network database consisting of fifty-six Port Series Reports covering nearly 10,000 facilities in more than 200 port areas.
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.

Data_Quality_Information:
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.
