Title: Cambridge, MA (Bridges, 2010)
Contributors:- Polygon data
- 2010
Summary: City of Cambridge, MA GIS basemap development project encompasses the land area of City of Cambridge with a 200 foot fringe surrounding the area and Charles River shoreline towards Boston. The basemap data was developed at 1" = 40' mapping scale using digital photogrammetric techniques. Planimetric features; both man-made and natural features like vegetation, rivers have been depicted. These features are important to all GIS/mapping applications and publication. A set of data layers such as Buildings, Roads, Rivers, Utility structures, 1 ft interval contours are developed and represented in the geodatabase. The features are labeled and coded in order to represent specific feature class for thematic representation and topology between the features is maintained for an accurate representation at the 1:40 mapping scale for both publication and analysis.

Title: MassGIS 2003 Massachusetts Highway Department Roads (December 2002)
Contributors:- Line data
- 2003
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.

Title: MassGIS 2003 Massachusetts MHD Routemarker Locations (December 2002)
Contributors:- Point data
- 2003
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
