Historic sites (line features)

dataset: HIST100_LINE
Records about historic linear features on Victorian public land, collected as a result of field survey by NRE staff and contractors. Some data updated during Old Growth Forest survey and modelling up to 20210 Primarily updated in 2018-2019 as part of the RFA Review Contains, water races, channels tramlines and other linear historic features, forestry or minig mainly Some line features 1:100k others are from VICMAP HYDRO/ROAD UFID - unique feature identifier added Jan 2023

Purpose
The layer iis used primarily for management planning and for analysis when combined with other CGDL dataset information. Potential to update with Arc Collector field data..

Supplemental Information
Relationship to other Datasets: The HIST100_POINT contains historical data of point structure, where a discreet point is good enough to represent the feature. Current Design Issues: The data is stored as lines based on field survey by the Departments Historic Places section. Current records were plotted onto 1:100,000 mapsheets and subsequently digitised as part of the Central Highlands Old-Growth Forest Study. Additional data updated in 2018-2019 as part of RFA 2020 review Some data copied from VICMAP layers Future Design Issues: This layer may have to be expanded at a later stage to incorporate polygon features which currently have not been collected. There are also a number of linear features in the present Historic Places database for which there is only a single AMG coordinate or a start/end AMG coordinate. In the future, these records will have to be digitised. Related Documents: None

Lineage

Statement
Dataset Source: Collected originally as part of the Central Highlands oldgrowth project. Updatd with RFA2020 review in 2018-19 Some 1:100k base maps, others VICMAP source updateds in VSDL Oct 2021 Dataset Originality: Primary 
Description
Collection Method: Research and field survey.Most ground-truthed (GT).Some which are known to exist, have not had their AMGs pin-pointed by GT.Linear features were based on field survey by Historic Places. Features were plotted onto 1:100,000 mapsheets and digitised. 
Description
Updated linework 2018-2019 water races and channel for mining area. Tramways locations are mainly 1:100k or worse accuracy. This should be a focus, LRSA - Light Rail Sociiety Australia - Vic have some better maps that should replace tramways data

Comments
Precision: Generally accurate to 1:100,000, tramways but those sites which have been ground truthed may be accurate at a larger scale 1:25000 from VICMAP source - water/road features Determination: Estimation only.

Missing Data
Comments
Often focussed on Tramways in Forests, Water in Mining places
