General Constraints:
Limitations of use: The gewog's boundaries are subject to certain limitations and challenges since the boundaries are delineated from high-resolution imagery and digitized based on geographical features such as terrain, including mountains, rivers, and forests, often makes it difficult to demarcate precise boundaries on the ground.

Source:
Source description: DLG, Administrative unit below Dzongkhag
Process step:
Process description: This data has been created from a small-scale map of 50000 scale topographic map derived from high-resolution satellite imagery. However, minor changes and corrections have been carried out in the later phases by the NLCS upon the request from the local government due to some boundary discrepancies between the Dzongkhags.
