The shapefile dataset was provided by Environmental Research Institution, Inc. (ESRI) as data distribution with their software. Purpose: This ArcView shapefile may be used as a general basemap data layer to illustrate the lakes of the United States. Supplemental_Information: U.S. Lakes (LAKES) is an ESRI shapefile with polygon features. This is a subset of the original dataset. It has been clipped to the extent of the Gulf of Maine surficial sediment GIS project area.
