The purpose of this dataset is to give geologists and other scientists a spatial database of the electrical power line network in China. This data set will be utilized in energy research and cartographic projects.
China Electric Power Information Center (ed.), Unknown, Electric Power Industry in China: Epoch Printing Co., Ltd, People's Republic of China.
Line data was captured by hand digitizing from an 5000000 paper map. Line data attributes are based on the published thematic map.
The original paper version of powerline networks is at 5000000; resolution is limited and it is not intended to be used at a more detailed scale.
This data set is a complete coverage of powerlines based on information present on the original 5000000 thematic map.
The dataset is a line coverage. Each line has a class attribute classifying powerline type.
Are there legal restrictions on access or use of the data?
