  5. Title: MassGIS 2003 Massachusetts Soil Spot Features (Arcs) (December 2000)

    Contributors:

    Summary: This datalayer is a companion layer to the Soils (Polygons) datalayer and contains arcs representing 'special' or 'ad hoc' line features such as bedrock escarpments, short, steep slopes, 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.

  17. Title: MassGIS 2003 Massachusetts MHD Routemarker Locations (December 2002)

    Contributors:

    Summary: This datalayer is a point coverage that may be used for plotting route shields that have the look of those on actual highway signs (i.e. red, white and blue Interstate; U.S. shields; boxes for State routes). The layer is intended to be used in conjuction with other Massachusetts Highway Department (MHD) datalayers. Please note that the locations of these points have been chosen to optimize display and do not represent actual roadside locations of route signs. To download and use Massachusetts highway route shields created by Jim Mossman, visit the MassGIS Web MHD page: http://www.mass.gov/mgis/majrdmhd.htm

  19. Title: MassGIS 2003 Massachusetts Highway Department Roads (December 2002)

    Contributors:

    Summary: This datalayer represents linework from the USGS 1:100,000 Roads Digital Line Graphs (DLGs) with additional linework from the Massachusetts Highway Department (MHD). Many of the new roads were provided to MHD by municipalities on various town-scale maps. Also, MHD made edits to existing DLG features, in many cases using the MassGIS 1:5,000 digital orthophotography as a backdrop to better spatially position the linework. In addition, this layer includes extensive attribute information maintained by the MHD which has been linked to all features. The layer is up-to-date through 2001. By late 2003 the linework in this datalayer will be replaced with 1:5,000 Road Centerlines that were interpreted as part of the Digital Orthophoto development project. The MHD inventory and street attribute data will then be attached (conflated) to the larger-scale mapping.
