Appendix 1—Geospatial Data

Skip past contents information

Data Format and Projection

Vector data: Environmental Systems Research Institute (ESRI) shapefiles, Geographic Coordinate System World Geodetic System 1984 (WGS84).

Raster data: ESRI Grids and georeferenced TIFF images, in meters in Unversal Transverse Mercator (UTM), Zone 19N, WGS84 projection.

Metadata

All spatial data are distributed with Federal Geographic Data Committee (FGDC) compliant metadata in xml, txt, and html formats.

Data Access
These GIS data can be accessed via DVD-ROM or the Internet. A single ZIP file can be downloaded (OFR2010_1091.zip, 143 MB), or individual layers may be downloaded from the Data Catalog section below. Data are compatible with several software systems, including the following:

Data Organization
The data are organized in the following folders on the DVD-ROM and on the dowloadable ZIP file:
