The mapping was carried out using a Simrad Subsea EM 1000 Multibeam Echo Sounder on the Frederick G. Creed on four cruises conducted between 1994 and 1998. The mapping was conducted in cooperation with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and with support from the Canadian Hydrographic Service and the University of New Brunswick. The long-term goal of this mapping effort is to produce high-resolution geologic maps and a Geographic Information System (GIS) project that presents images and grids of bathymetry, shaded relief bathymetry, and backscatter intensity data from these surveys that will serve the needs of research, management and the public. The data presented here have been published on a paper map of Massachusetts Bay at a scale of 1:125,000 as USGS Map I-2734. Purpose: This shapefile is a subset of a larger data set that shows all of the major rivers of Massachusetts. The shapefile covers the eastern portion of Massachusetts for use on USGS map I-2734. Supplemental_Information: These data have been clipped to the extent of USGS Map I-2734.
