Process_Description:
The original (1993) ports data - a subset of a broader coastal uses data layer - was overlain on 1:50,000 topographic sheets and cadastral data for southside Belize City to examine their positional accuracy. Points were moved to reflect the data contained on the topo-sheets / cadastral data.
