  1. Title: Building Footprints (Town of Brookline)

    Contributors:

    Summary: This map data layer represents the building footprints for the Town of Brookline, Massachusetts. This layer is from Boston Edison Company (BECo.). The original aerial photography was flown between 1990 and 1991 at 1' = 600' negative scale. The building footprints data layer was updated in 1996 with the addition of street addresses by Camp Dresser & McKee, Inc. (CDM), based upon the addresses on the Assessor's map sheets. Digital planimetric data meets National Map Accuracy Standards for 1'=100' (1:1200) mapping.

  2. Title: Parcels (Town of Brookline)

    Contributors:

    Summary: This datalayer was developed by the Town's GIS consulting firm, Camp Dresser and McKee, Inc. (CDM) and is a polygon coverage of property lines and associated property information for the Town of Brookline, Massachusetts. Polygons, representing real estate parcels are labeled with a unique identifier comprised of the block, lot and sub-lot numbers found on the assessor's map sheet. Other attributes include: Owner and co-owner names and addresses, deed information, parcel size, sales information, zoning, etc.. CDM used AutoCAD, ArcCAD and ARC/INFO software packages to convert the 131 assessor's hard-copy map sheets. Within AutoCAD each assessor's sheet was registered to the Boston Edison Company's landbase GIS data on a block-by-block basis using street intersections, building footprints, and coordinate plan grid points. CDM has also generated a block-lot-sublot parsing routine to create unique parcel identifiers from the Assessor's Computer-Aided Mass Appraisal (CAMA) database. The CAMA database has over 15,000 records and contains attribute information about each parcel in the town. Mismatches between the GIS parcels and the CAMA database have been researched and reconciled by the joint effort of CDM, Brookline GIS staff, and staff from the Assessor's Office and the Engineering Department.

  3. Title: Zoning Districts, Holbrook, Massachusetts, 1971 (Raster Image)

    Contributors:

    Summary: This layer is a georeferenced raster image of the historic paper map entitled: Map of Holbrook zoning districts, origianl base map by Camp, Dresser & McKee ; zoning features delineated by Robert B. Shupe, Jr. It was published by the Planning Board in 1971. Scale ca. 1:12,750. The image inside the map neatline is georeferenced to the surface of the earth and fit to the Massachusetts State Plane Coordinate System, Mainland Zone (in Feet) (Fipszone 2001). All map collar and inset information is also available as part of the raster image, including any inset maps, profiles, statistical tables, directories, text, illustrations, index maps, legends, or other information associated with the principal map. This map shows features such as roads, railroads, drainage, cities and other human settlements, territorial boundaries, shoreline features, and more. Includes also zoning districts, wilderness designation, and legend. This layer is part of a selection of digitally scanned and georeferenced historic maps from the Harvard Map Collection. These maps typically portray both natural and manmade features. The selection represents a range of originators, ground condition dates, scales, and map purposes.
