Description
Simpson's Gap National Park was mapped into land units at a scale of 1:25,000 in 1982.
A general physical description of the land is included, together with detailed accounts of the vegetation communities and soils. Recommendations on future planning and management are outlined. The survey area lies in the MacDonnell Ranges of Central Australia, with the eastern boundary only 8km from Alice Springs and covers an area of approximately 311km2. The park has now been incorporated into the West MacDonnell National Park.
Core attributes describing the land units, as defined by this department, were added to the spatial dataset in November 2014

Data Quality
Lineage:Original map unit boundaries delineated from aerial photographs and stereoscope interpretation. Map units transferred to clean dyeline sheets or topographic maps via a mapograph. Original maps were hardcopy only. With the advent of geographic information systems polygons were digitised by rectifying the original hard copy maps.
Map unit boundaries derived using hard copy aerial photography and stereoscope, satellite imagery (post 1993), geological and topographic maps. Field data (site data) described and classified according to national standards at the time of capture.
Map unit polygons collected via geographic information system (ArcGIS). Core landform, soil and vegetation attributes attached to map units with additional attributes unique to individual surveys.
Positional Accuracy:POLYGON DATA - Hardcopy maps rectified using control points marked on original hardcopy maps. Control points include creek lines, cadastre and other topographic features. Depending on the nature of the landscape (the number of control points) positional accuracy may vary. Positional accuracy generally considered moderate.
POINT DATA - Survey teams navigated during field operations with topographic maps, aerial photographs and prismatic compass. Point source locations marked on aerial photography in the field. Positional accuracy considered within 300m but generally below 200m depending on the terrain. Site coordinates derived by transferring site locations from aerial photographs to topographic maps and coordinates calculated.
Attribute Accuracy:Attributes assigned according to the dominant feature. For example, where ten sites have been grouped to describe a particular map unit and two different soils described from these sites then the dominant soil is chosen.
Logical Consistency:GIS editing tools were used to rectify all overshoots and undershoots in line work. Polygon topology rules applied are: must not overlap, must not have gaps and each polygon has only one label.
Completeness:Complete
