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.

The shapefile was then reprojected for this report to geographic coordinate system (WGS84) using the same method as above. These metadata were prepared by MassGIS, and this processing step was the only item edited in the original metadata file.
