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

    • Raster data
    • 2009
    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.

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.

  20. Title: MassGIS 2003 Massachusetts Priority Natural Vegetation Communities : Pine Barrens Natural Community Systems (April 2003)

    • Polygon data
    • 2003
    Contributors:

    Summary: This datalayer contains polygons representing Massachusetts Priority Natural Vegetation Communities : Pine Barrens Community Systems. The data covers only a portion of eastern Massachusetts. Pine Barrens Systems are a mosaic of pitch pine and scrub oak, with heath and grassy openings, located on nutrient-poor, acidic, drought-prone soils. This datalayer can be used with the Pine Barrens Community Systems (UMass) datalayer which is separate and covers portions of the towns of Plymouth, Kingston, Bourne, Carver, and Wareham, Massachusetts. This layer is part of the MassGIS Priority Natural Vegetation Communities dataset, which depicts the distribution of the eight natural community systems identified by the Massachusetts Natural Heritage and Endangered Species Program (NHESP) as most critical to the conservation of the Commonwealth's biological diversity (Barbour et al., 1998).
