NMBGMR Draft Geologic Data Model - v. 1.0.3
POLYGONS: Landforms

revised: 29-Feb-2012

Feature Class: Landform_poly

This feature class is used to portray suface landforms that occupy sufficienct area to be mapped. This feature class excludes geomorphic surfaces that are handled by Surface_poly. Landform features that are too small to map as polygons can be recorded in Feature_point or Feature_line. Unless a need arises, boundaries of these polygons will not be stored as a separate feature class. Line symbology for features like sinkholes can be applied to the polygon boundaries as needed.
