Description:
Abstract:
This data layer was created as a basemap data layer to define the area of the browse maps for the Gulf of Maine and Georges Bank surficial sediment GIS.
Purpose:
This GIS data layer defined the general area of the available browse maps. Both PDF and JPEG browse maps of the defined areas were generated and included in the digital publication.

Lineage:
Process_Step:
Process_Description:
Twelve graphic rectangles were drawn to define the general area of the individual browse maps to be generated. The graphic was then converted to an ArcView shapefile using the Xtools extension. The shapefile attribute table was then modified to include the MAP number and NAME assigned to the map area.
