  12. Title: Boston, Massachusetts Region, Digital Elevation Model with Bathymetry

    Contributors:

    Summary: This raster layer represents surface elevation and bathymetry data for the Boston Region, Massachusetts. It was created by merging portions of MassGIS Digital Elevation Model 1:5,000 (2005) data with NOAA Estuarine Bathymetric Digital Elevation Models (30 m.) (1998). DEM data was derived from the digital terrain models that were produced as part of the MassGIS 1:5,000 Black and White Digital Orthophoto imagery project. Cellsize is 5 meters by 5 meters. Each cell has a floating point value, in meters, which represents its elevation above or below sea level.

  13. Title: Boston, Massachusetts Region, Digital Elevation Model (1:5,000), 2005 - Integer version

    Contributors:

    Summary: This raster layer represents surface elevation for the Boston Region, Massachusetts. This datalayer is a subset (covering only the Boston region) of the Massachusetts statewide digital elevation model. It was created from the digital terrain models that were produced as part of the 1:5,000 Black and White Digital Orthophoto imagery project. Cellsize is 5 meters by 5 meters. Each cell has an integer value, in meters, which represents its elevation above or below sea level.

  14. Title: Boston, Massachusetts, 2-Dimensional Building Footprints with Height Data (from LIDAR data), 2002

    Contributors:

    Summary: This dataset consists of 2D footprints of the buildings in the metropolitan Boston area, based on tiles in the orthoimage index (orthophoto quad ID: 229890, 229894, 229898, 229902, 233886, 233890, 233894, 233898, 233902, 237890, 237894, 237898, 237902, 241890, 241894, 241898, 241902, 245898, 245902). This data set was collected using 3Di's Digital Airborne Topographic Imaging System II (DATIS II). Roof height and footprint elevation attributes (derived from 1-meter resolution LIDAR (LIght Detection And Ranging) data) are included as part of each building feature. This data can be combined with other datasets to create 3D representations of buildings and the surrounding environment.

    Contributors:

    Summary: This datalayer represents the 'major roads' in the Commonwealth from the Massachusetts Highway Department (MHD) Roads datalayer. Four classes of road are included: Limited Access Highways (such as Interstates with on- and off-ramps as the only means of access), Multi-lane Highways without limited access, Other Numbered Highways (such as state and Federal routes that are not included in the previous two categories), and Major Road-Collectors (non-numbered routes that connect numbered routes). These major roads are stored as one statewide coverage.

  17. Title: MassGIS 2003 Massachusetts Soil Spot Features (Points) (December 2000)

    Contributors:

    Summary: This datalayer is a companion layer to the Soils (Polygons) datalayer and contains points representing 'special' or 'ad hoc' point features such as gravel pits, wet areas, bedrock escarpments and others for a portion of the state of Massachusetts. The soils datalayer has been automated from 1:25,000 published soils surveys as provided on various media by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS). All soils data released by MassGIS have been 'SSURGO-certified ,' which means they have been reviewed and approved by the NRCS and meet all standards and requirements for inclusion in the national release of county-level digital soils data. Soil survey areas are roughly based on county boundaries.

  18. Title: MassGIS 2003 Massachusetts National Wetlands Inventory (Arcs) (February 2003)

    Contributors:

    Summary: This layer contains arcs representing rivers and streams for the state for Massachusetts. The National Wetlands Inventory (NWI) project, administered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, was established to generate information about the characteristics, extent and status of the Nation's wetlands and deepwater habitats. This information is used by Federal, State, and local agencies, academic institutions, U.S. Congress, and the private sector. The Emergency Wetland Resources Act of 1986 directs the Service to map the wetlands of the United States. The NWI has mapped 89% of the lower 48 states, and 31% of Alaska. The Act also requires the Service to produce a digital wetlands database for the United States. About 39% of the lower 48 states and 11% of Alaska are digitized. Approximately 50 percent of Massachusetts is available in digital format. For full details on the national mapping project visit the National Wetlands Inventory web site: http://www.fws.gov/nwi/

  19. Title: MassGIS 2003 Massachusetts NHESP Estimated Habitats of Rare Wildlife (June 1999)

    Contributors:

    Summary: The Estimated Habitats of Rare Wildlife datalayer consists of polygons representing estimations of the habitats of Massachusetts state-protected rare wildlife populations that occur in Resource Areas*. (*The definition of 'Resource Area' (Area Subject to Regulation) is included in the Wetlands Protection Act Regulations (310 CMR 10.02(1)).) These habitats are based on rare species records maintained in the Natural Heritage & Endangered Species Program's (NHESP) database. Estimated population locations are spatially represented at 1:25,000 or 1:24,000 scale on NHESP's series of USGS topographic maps. NHESP scientists draw estimated habitats by analyzing population records, species habitat requirements, available information about the landscape (particularly from topographic maps and wetland inventory maps), as well as personal observations. Most habitat sites are not visited prior to the drawing of these estimated habitats. Estimated habitats are not equivalent to Resource Area delineation. These estimated habitats are designed for use with the Wetlands Protection Act Regulations (310 CMR 10.00). Projects that are subject to the Wetlands Protection Act and that fall within Estimated Habitats of Rare Wildlife require the filing of a Notice of Intent form with NHESP.

  20. Title: MassGIS 2003 Massachusetts Major Watersheds (Arcs) (June 2000)

    Contributors:

    Summary: This datalayer contains lines representing Massachusetts watershed boundaries (see also the Watersheds (Polygons) datalayer). MassGIS has produced a statewide digital datalayer of the 32 major watersheds covering Massachusetts as defined by the USGS Water Resources Division and the MA Water Resources Commission. The datalayer is called Watersheds. Unlike the Major Drainage Basins layer, the watersheds in this layer extend beyond the state boundary to include the full extent of either the full watershed or a full USGS sub-basin.
