Identification_Information: Citation: Citation_Information: Originator: MassGIS Publication_Date: 031991 Title: MA State Outline (25k coast) (Polygons) Geospatial_Data_Presentation_Form: vector digital data Online_Linkage: http://www.mass.gov/mgis/cs.htm Description: Abstract: The outline of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. MassGIS digitized 1:25,000 linework from U.S. Geological Survey mylar map sheets for land boundaries; a 1:25,000 coastline was extracted from the MassGIS Hydrography (1:25,000) layer. OUTLINE25K_POLY contains the polygon feature class.
