This is a Vector data set. It contains the following vector data types (SDTS terminology):
Horizontal positions are specified in geographic coordinates, that is, latitude and longitude. Latitudes are given to the nearest 0.000000. Longitudes are given to the nearest 0.000000. Latitude and longitude values are specified in Decimal degrees.
The horizontal datum used is North American Datum of 1983.
The ellipsoid used is Geodetic Reference System 80.
The semi-major axis of the ellipsoid used is 6378137.000000.
The flattening of the ellipsoid used is 1/298.257222.
Sequential unique whole numbers that are automatically generated.
Coordinates defining the features.
| Value | Definition |
|---|---|
| Bay or Estuary or Ocean | A body of salt water. |
| Canal | An artificial open waterway constructed to carry water, to irrigate or drain land, to connect two or more bodies of water, or to serve as a waterway for water craft. |
| Glacier | A field of ice on land. |
| Lake | A standing body of water with a predominately natural shoreline surrounded by land. |
| Lake Dry | An area that at one time contained a standing body of water. |
| Lake Intermittent | A standing body of water that contains water for only part of the year. |
| Reservoir | A constructed basin formed to contain water. |
| Reservoir Intermittent | A constructed basin formed to contain water for only part of the year. |
| Stream | A body of water flowing in a channel or watercourse. |
| Swamp or Marsh | A noncultivated, vegetated area that is inundated or saturated for a significant part of the year. |

Some spatial features were added and corrected. Some name attributes were added or corrected. All occurrences of St. were changed to Saint. Extra spaces were removed from the attributes. Hydrographic features for Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands were added. A minor adjustment was made to the shoreline in Galveston Bay, Texas.

Data sources produced in this process:
The geospatial part of this data set was originally extracted from the individual 1:2,000,000-scale State boundary Digital Line Graph (DLG) files produced by the U.S. Geological Survey which have a positional accuracy of 1,720 meters. It was updated several times using various sources whose horizontal positional accuracies are unknown.
After processing, the data set is checked for drawing display and number of records and file sizes compared with source materials. Data completeness generally reflects the content of the original Digital Line Graph (DLG) files.
This is a subset of the original dataset and has been clipped to the extent of the Gulf of Maine surficial sediment GIS project area.
No duplicate features are present. The shapefile is exported using Avenue request ExportClean. This request verifies and enforces the correctness of shapes.
