Description:
Abstract:
This coverage is from the Cape Cod Commission (CCC) GIS department's data layers that are the result of data development at the CCC GIS since 1988. These themes, delivered to MassGIS for general distribution statewide, are those most extensively used by the Commission's programs and have been created primarily to support the Commission's Regional Policy Plan and Local Comprehensive Plans with each of the fifteen towns of Cape Cod.
Purpose:
This data layer provides boundaries of the Cape Cod National Seashore Park.
Supplemental_Information:
Most of the coverages the Cape Cod Commission provided to MassGIS were digitized from paper maps using a Calcomp 9100 digitizer and ESRI's ARC/INFO. Source material varies by layer. Some original manuscripts were obtained from the 1990 APCC Atlas; others came from town sources. Other layers were produced with on-screen digitizing in ArcEdit. Attribute information for parcel and zoning coverages came from town planning and engineering departments' and assessors' databases. MassGIS performed quality checking on all layers and standardized all attribute tables before creating the libraries.
