Description:

Abstract:
WQCOASTP polygons depict the features of Maine's coastline at mean high water, based on USGS 1:24,000 scale quadrangles. Some New Hampshire and New Brunswick coastlines are also included, based on a mixture of USGS 1:24,000 data and SPOT satellite imagery. Data for this coverage were digitized from the Mean High Water (MHW) line as shown on USGS 1:24,000 scale quadrangle maps. In addition, tidal rivers and ponds are also included in this coverage. The extent of tidal features was determined by a group of marine specialists familiar with Maine's coast. For rivers where the tidal extent was unclear the first contour or bridge crossing the river was used. Features which may be tidal but were connected to the coast by single line streams are not included in the coverage at this time.

Polygons contain codes indicating type, state/province, MRSA 38 4-A classifications (river and sea classes), island registry numbers, and names of rivers. MEDEP staff did extensive code checking and corrections, and extended the coastline further into New Brunswick and New Hampshire to make maps look more 'complete' in boundary areas. MEDEP staff buffered the NH and NB coastline to 3 nautical miles, and calculated a buffer for Mt. Desert Rock. Additional lines were added by MEDEP staff to indicate coastal seawater classifications as outlined in MRSA 38 4-A. Data are current to HP 1401 LD 1891 An Act to Reclassify Certain Downeast Waters, effective July 30, 2004.

Purpose:
WQCOASTP contains polygons of coastal features, tidal rivers and ponds for mapping purposes with water quality classification. Data at this scale is suitable for use in local planning and detailed studies. is a layer of double line river features Users must assume responsibility in determining the useability of this data for their purpose.

Attribute Accuracy:

Attribute Accuracy Report: Attribute accuracy is tested by manual comparison of the source with hard copy printouts and/or symbolized display of digital files.

Logical Consistency Report:
Data set meets "Standards for Maine Geographic Information Systems", March 1990, no overshoots, slivers, unresolved line segments, open or unlabelled polygons. LABELERRORS and NODEERRORS have been resolved. The coverage has been CLEANED and BUILT with POLYGON topology.
Completeness Report: Data set is complete.
Positional Accuracy:

Horizontal Positional Accuracy:

Horizontal Positional Accuracy Report:
Approximate horizontal accuracy is 12 meters, assuming source data meets National Map Accuracy Standards. The data retains the edgematching discrepancies existing in the source. Horizontal positional accuracy for the digital data is tested by visual comparison of mylar proof plots, linewidth 0.01 inch, to the original manuscript maps.
Quantitative Horizontal Positional Accuracy Assessment:

Horizontal Positional Accuracy Value: 12
Horizontal Positional Accuracy Explanation:
Digitizer tolerance specified equivalent to 0.005 digitizer units, RMS error not to exceed 0.005. For each digital map created, a mylar proof plot of that map was made to verify that the original data have been digitized within the accuracy requirements of "Data Standards for Maine Geographic Information Systems, 1990". A proof plot was plotted on mylar at the same scale as the manuscript. All lines on the proof were a linewidth of 0.01 inch or less. By visual inspection of the proof plot against the original data, ninety percent of the cartographic features on a map were found to be digitized within 0.01 inches measured from the centerline or center point of the feature. One hundred percent of all cartographic features were found to be digitized within 0.02 inches.

Process Description:
Lines to delineate seawater classifications, as outlined in MRSA 38 4-A, were delineated in a shapefile by Vicki Schmidt of MDEP. These lines were then integrated into the coastline coverage. An additional field was added to indicate which closure lines were portions of an MRSA 38 4-A boundary.

Process Step:

Process Description:
Coastal areas in New Hampshire and New Brunswick were extended by screen-digitizing from SPOT imagery. In this manner, coastal areas were digitized east to Seeley Cove in New Brunswick (including Grand Manan and Campobello Islands), and south to the MA-NH border. Lines were digitized from a combination of SPOT and LandSat TM imagery, and thus will be less detailed than those for Maine.

Overview Description:

Entity and Attribute Overview:
WQCOASTP contains coastline, tidal rivers and ponds for mapping purposes with water quality classification. POLYGON codes include CLASS, LOCALE, RIVER, SOURCE, and TYPE, RIVNAME of tidal rivers and bays from USGS maps and DeLorme atlas, and SEACLASS classification of marine/estuarine waters according to MRSA 38 4-A.
Entity and Attribute Detail Citation:
The ArcView shapefile and ArcGIS geodatabase formats, commonly used for Maine GIS data, carry default identifiers and attributes that are software generated and/or important for internal recordkeeping. These are listed here to avoid repetition for every layer, and may not be repeated in the attribute descriptions and definitions of each layer. Common software generated identifiers and attributes in Maine GIS data include: FID (feature identifier), Shape (feature geometry), OBJECTID and SHAPE_lengt. In addition, most GIS formats will carry fields for PERIMETER, AREA and/or LENGTH according to feature geometry. These fields are typically available by default, with the units based on coordinate system or projection units of GIS data. Most GIS software packages also provide a means to calculate these values. It is important to test any columns containing PERIMETER, AREA or LENGTH values before using them for analysis purposes. These important values can be carried from format to format and become out-dated. Verify that the values are correct. Also, in your GIS software, please view the properties of data layers for the map units used to calculate these fields, and for the units set for display purposes.

Format Information Content:
MEGIS has made all vector layers, in the Maine GIS Internet Data Catalog, available in ESRI's ArcView shapefile format. A shapefile is a simple non-topological format that stores the geometry and attribute information for a set of geographic features as a set of vector (point, line, polygon) coordinates. Shapefiles draw quickly and directly in ArcView, ArcGIS, ArcExplorer. Shapefiles are a compatible data type for many other types of GIS software. Three files are fundamental to each shapefile: .shp stores the feature geometry (shape and location information); .shx stores the index of the feature geometry; .dbf a dBASE (TM) file stores the attribute information for the features. Other index files may be created to help speed analysis and query: these file formats are .sbn .sbx .ain .aix .fbn and .fbx. In addition you may find projection .prj, and metadata .xml, files associated with shapefiles.
