[OKGIS] OK County Boundary Discrepancies

[Jenni Rush]

Yesterday I downloaded the county boundaries for OK from the Center for Spatial Analysis Data Warehouse.  I noticed some discrepancy in Section 8 T5N-R8E.  I'm using Petra to import the shape files.  The southeast corner of section 8 is squared off in Petra whereas according to a Topo map it should follow the Canadian River into part of Section 9.  So section 8 is 'squared off' when in reality it shouldn't be, but how do I know what is accurate?  We also have the Tobin data, and all three seem to differ.

The main problem with this is the location of wells in that particular area...we are not sure where the coordinates are if the SE corner of Section 8 actually shifted.  I hope this makes sense...any help is greatly appreciated.  I don't want to have to spend a lot of time on this...I have always assumed the CSA data was accurate.
