NOTES:
Roads data from the above sources were integrated into one line coverage.  The items in this coverage represent some of the original populated items from the source coverages, except dlgcode, dlgclass, legtype, and legclass.  The items dlgcode and dlgclass were derived from entity_label and represent USGS large scale dlg attribute codes.  The items legtype and legclass were derived by crosswalking the original attribute codes from each source coverage into 5 classes of roads.  The Northeast section of the coverage contains no attributes because the source data for that area had no information on road type.

The road layer was notably sparce in the Gualala (NorthWestern-most) quad.  Therefore, some of the roads shown in the 1:100k were copied over to the 1:24k layer for this quad.  This procedure was not conducted for any of the other quads.
