    Contributors:

    Summary: This layer is a georeferenced raster image of the historic paper map entitled: Zoning plan of the town of Wayland, Massachusetts, Everett M. Brooks & Co., civil engineers. It was published by Everett M. Brooks & Co. in 1971. Scale [ca. 1:18,500]. 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, watershed names, cities and other human settlements, territorial boundaries, shoreline features, and more. Includes also zoning districts and 13 insets showing details of zones at larger scale. 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.

  3. Title: Streams Containing Coho Salmon Populations: Russian River Basin, California, 1993-2002

    Contributors:

    Summary: This line shapefile represents coho salmon locations in California Dept. of Fish and Game records from biosampling and other surveys, plus other available records such as those of the Warm Springs Dam Hatchery and the Occidental Arts and Ecology Center. The underlying hydrology is the CDF-NCWAP 1:24,000 streams layer, which is derived from USGS 7.5-minute Digital Line Graph data. The line work should therefore match National Map Accuracy Standards for 1:24,000 scale data (90% of tested points in the original line work were within +/- 40 feet). This should represent a nearly complete inventory of streams where coho have been verified to be found since January of 1993, however this can be contrasted with the historical coho streams available in a seperate GIS layer. This dataset depicts which streams in the Russian River basin have recently supported coho salmon. Circuit Rider Productions and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (2002).

  13. Title: World (Petroleum Fields, 2003)

    • Point data
    • 2003
    Contributors:

    Summary: This shapefile includes arcs and polygons that describeU.S. Geological Survey delineatedTotal Petroleum Systems of the World. Each petroleum systemis defined as a mappable entity encompassing geneticallyrelated petroleum that occurs in seeps, shows and accumulations(discovered or undiscovered) that have been generated by a pod,or by closely related pods, of mature source rock, together withthe essental mappable geologic elements (source, reservoir, sealand overburden rocks) that control fundamental processes ofgeneration, migration, entrapment and preservation of petroleum.Total petroleum systems are described by U.S. Geological Surveyscientists on the basis of exploration and production histories,and extensive literature searches. Total petroleum systems areidentified with a numeric code derived from the numeric codeof the World Geologic Provinces as defined by theU.S. Geological Survey World Energy Project. Most totalpetroleum systems are contained within a single geologicprovince, but there are numerous cases where systemsspan more than one province. Summary results of the assessmentare presented as attributes of this shapefile.

  14. Title: World Geologic Provinces

    Contributors:

    Summary: This shapefile includes arcs and polygons that describe U.S. Geological Survey defined geologic provinces of the World. Each province has a set of geologic characteristics distinguishing it from surrounding provinces. These characteristics may include the dominant lithologies, the age of the strata, and the structural style. Some provinces include multiple genetically-related basins. Offshore province boundaries are generally defined by the 2000 meter bathymetric contour, but where appropriate are defined by the 4000 meter bathymetric contour. In some cases province boundaries are delineated by political boundaries, as in the case of The United States and Canada, because United States petroleum resources were assessed separately by the U.S. Geological Survey. Provinces are classified as either Priority or Boutique. A priority province is one of 76 non-U.S. geologic provinces defined by the U.S. Geological Survey that together contain 95 percent of the world's non-U.S. known petroleum volume. All priority provinces were analyzed for undiscovered petroleum-resources. A boutique province is a geologic province, other than a priority province, as defined by the U.S. Geological Survey, considered for petroleum-resource assessment. Boutique provinces can be chosen for a variety of geologic, political, technical and geographic reasons. Resource-assessments are conducted by scientists of the U.S Geological Survey's World Petroleum Assessment 2000 by means of a combination of Petroleum System analysis based on available geologic information, and statistical analysis of production and exploration information. Total petroleum systems are defined in provinces considered for assessment analysis. Total petroleum systems are subdivided into Assessment Units. Assessment results from the analysis of assessment units and total petroleum systems are aggregated and allocated to geologic provinces. Summary results are presented as attributes of this coverage.
