- Process_Description:
-
1. The ASCII data was imported into a Microsoft Access Database
2. The Type field was added to the table structure.
3. The values in the Name field were manipulated so that only the Place Names remained in the Name field. The values defining the Type of place were placed in the type field.
4. The table was exported as a dbase file.
5. The dbase file was converted to shapefile.
