    Process_Step:
      Process_Description:
        Data from the various sources listed above were subjected
        to the following processes:
        1) Reprojection to Lambert Conformable Conic projection
        2) Data formats of Township, Range, Section, Meridian, and
        other data were standardized.
        2) Data was merged into a single shapefile using a "Union"
        or similar command
        3) Data was standardized into single columns after the
        "union" command
        4) Data was examined in a spot fashion for accuracy
        5) No work was performed to eliminate sliver polygons
        produced as a result of the Union commands
